Flamengo scouted the signing of Jhon Arias during this transfer window. However, the midfielder gave the green light to Palmeiras and negotiations have begun between the São Paulo club and the former Fluminense player.
According to information from the UOL portal, Palmeiras has started talks with Arias’ representatives, which have been considered positive. The midfielder is currently willing to return to Brazil, as he is not experiencing a good moment in the Premier League.
It’s worth remembering that Wolverhampton (ENG) bought Arias for 17 million euros (R$ 110 million) fixed + 5 million euros (R$ 32 million) in performance bonuses. Therefore, the English club wants to recover part of the R$ 110 million.
Another important point is that Fluminense has the first option to buy if Arias returns to Brazil. Thus, Palmeiras needs to outbid the Laranjeiras team if they want to sign the Colombian.
Currently, Flamengo has already signed two players in this transfer window: Vitão and Andrew. The athletes have already reported to Mais Querido and are available to coach Filipe Luís for the pre-season with the red-and-black squad.
