Athletico-PR reject Flamengo bid for Colombian forward | OneFootball

Athletico-PR does not intend to sell Kevin Viveros at this point in the season

Flamengo tried to sign forward Kevin Viveros from Athletico-PR in recent days, but the Paraná club played hardball. In fact, the Rubro-Negro side even submitted an offer of R$ 50 million for the Colombian, but it was rejected.

According to journalist Carlos Mion, Flamengo indicated it was willing to pay Athletico-PR to have Kevin Viveros immediately. However, the Paraná club does not intend to part ways with the Colombian player at this stage of the season.

WHAT IS KEVIN VIVEROS' SITUATION?

Athletico-PR has decided that Kevin Viveros is not for sale at this point in the year. The Colombian forward joined the Paraná club in 2025 for 5 million dollars (R$ 27 million at the exchange rate at the time) for 70% of his economic rights.

As a result, Kevin Viveros has become a key player for Athletico-PR in the 2026 season. That is because the player has made 11 appearances, scoring six goals and providing one assist. Finally, he is one of the standout players in the Brazilian Championship.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

Flamengo is expected to return to the market in search of a center-forward. At the start of the year, the Rubro-Negro side tried to sign Argentine striker Taty Castellanos, who was at Lazio (ITA) and moved to West Ham (ENG), as well as Kaio Jorge from Cruzeiro. However, neither move was successful.

It is worth mentioning that, at the moment, Flamengo has Pedro and Wallace Yan as options for the attack. Bruno Henrique also plays in the position. Finally, the Mengão loaned Carlinhos to Remo and sold Juninho to Pumas (MEX).
