Official! Benfica winger snubbed Dynamo Moscow, Russians got Gonzalo Plata | OneFootball

Gonzalo Plata already has a new club. Dynamo Moscow have officially announced the signing of the Ecuadorian winger, who has signed a contract valid for the next four seasons. Flamengo will receive €10 million from the player’s transfer.

The Ecuador international leaves the Brazilian club after a season in which he featured in 32 matches, scoring two goals and providing four assists. Plata also represented Ecuador at the 2026 World Cup, playing in four matches and contributing one goal. On social media, the winger made a point of saying goodbye to Flamengo and its fans, leaving a message of thanks for his time at the Brazilian club.

"We made history together, Flamengo. I leave proud and grateful for everything we experienced, for every title, every match and every moment I spent defending this shirt. Thank you to my teammates, the coaching staff and everyone who was part of this journey at Flamengo. And, especially, to the Nation, for the affection you showed me from day one. I will take with me memories that will last forever. Thank you for everything, Flamengo. It was an honor. Once a Flamengo player, always a Flamengo player," he wrote.

The move to Dynamo Moscow also marks Gonzalo Plata’s return to European football. The Ecuadorian played for Sporting between 2019 and 2022, a period in which he made 38 appearances for the first team, scored four goals and provided as many assists.

Dynamo Moscow’s interest in Gonzalo Plata arose after Dodi Lukebakio turned down a proposal from the Russian club, according to Glorioso 1904. The Benfica winger received an approach in recent days to leave the Luz still in this summer transfer window. The proposal submitted by the Russian club included very attractive salary conditions for the player. .
