“Clube de Regatas do Flamengo was informed this Tuesday afternoon (1st) by Dynamo Moscow that forward Gonzalo Plata did not meet the Russian team’s medical standards. The player had been released by Flamengo to undergo exams and sign a contract, but the deal will not be completed. Gonzalo Plata, who recently represented Ecuador in the 2026 FIFA World Cup and had been playing regularly for Flamengo, will return to the club this week.”

Plata arrived in Russia last Sunday (30) to join Dynamo Moscow and was welcomed with great celebration by the Russian club right at the airport. However, even with all the transfer logistics already set up, the deal did not go through due to medical issues.

HOW DID THE NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND DYNAMO MOSCOW FOR PLATA GO?

To take Plata from Flamengo, Dynamo Moscow offered around 12 million euros (about R$72 million at the current exchange rate) for the player’s economic rights. In this way, the payment would be made in full upfront by the Russian club.

HOW DID FLAMENGO ACT IN THE MARKET WITH PLATA’S POSSIBLE DEPARTURE?

Amid these negotiations with Dynamo Moscow, Flamengo moved in the market and looked for replacements for the attacking system. Before receiving Dynamo’s rejection over Plata, the Rubro-Negro announced the signing of two reinforcements: Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas.

The two new signings are already training with the squad and are in good physical condition. Therefore, if their names are registered in the CBF’s Daily Information Bulletin (BID), Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas should be included in the squad for Flamengo’s next Brasileirão match.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Flamengo return to the field this Wednesday (02) to face Mirassol in a Brasileirão clash. In short, the ball starts rolling at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.
