The players tipped as possible Flamengo signings

Which players have caught Flamengo’s attention?

Flamengo remains active behind the scenes in this transfer window. Among the well-known names that Rubro-Negro is interested in, such as Luiz Henrique and Thiago Almada, other players have now emerged as possible signings for the club.

Amid the uncertainty over a concrete response from Thiago Almada, Flamengo’s executive football director, José Boto, made it clear that he had gone to Argentina to sort out matters for the club. As a result, expectations grew over which players might have entered Rubro-Negro’s radar.

While scouting the market, some options have emerged for Flamengo. In that regard, the name of midfielder Alex Luna, who plays in Argentine football for Instituto Córdoba (ARG), has come under observation by Rubro-Negro. The information about Mengo’s inquiry for the player comes from journalist Pablo Raphael.

ARE THERE OTHER NAMES ON FLAMENGO’S RADAR?

In addition to Alex Luna, other names have been linked with Flamengo. One of them is forward Malcom, who plays for Zenit (RUS). Finally, for the center-forward role, Tiziano Perrotta of Banfield (ARG) has appeared on the radar. The latest information comes from journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S MAIN FOCUS RIGHT NOW?

At the moment, Flamengo is focused on signing Luiz Henrique. So far, Rubro-Negro has not yet sent an official offer to Zenit for the player, but it has already received the green light from the player’s camp to move forward in negotiations.

William Bento, one of Luiz Henrique’s agents, is in Rio de Janeiro. Therefore, the tendency is for the parties to meet with the aim of reaching common ground to begin talks with Zenit.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE A DEADLINE TO COMPLETE THE SIGNING OF LUIZ HENRIQUE?

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Flamengo has not set a deadline to complete the signing of Luiz Henrique. However, it has already made it clear that it will try to make the deal happen quickly.

In addition, even if it cannot complete the deal before the registration deadline for the Copa Libertadores round of 16, Flamengo has no intention of giving up on Luiz Henrique. It is worth noting that the deadline runs until 6 p.m. (Brasília time) this Friday (07).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Flamengo looks for reinforcements, the team is focused on preparing for the upcoming fixtures of the season. This Sunday (09), Mengão faces Vitória in the Brasileirão. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the match details on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
