Flamengo and Palmeiras eye full-back playing in England | OneFootball

Welington is under contract with Southampton (ENG) until June 2029

The transfer window is closed, but clubs are already keeping an eye out and making moves for the next period. With that in mind, Flamengo, along with Palmeiras, is monitoring right-back Welington, currently at Southampton (ENG).

According to Rádio Tupi, Flamengo and Palmeiras have not yet made offers for Welington, but they are assessing the situation. Southampton is asking for 3 million euros (R$17.9 million at the current exchange rate) to negotiate the Brazilian’s transfer.

WHO IS WELINGTON?

Welington is under contract with Southampton until June 2029, but he has seen limited playing time. In two years at the English club, the Brazilian has made only 28 appearances, 17 of them this season, with one assist.

The player came through at São Paulo, where he made his professional debut in 2020. The Morumbi club transferred the right-back to Southampton in 2024. It is worth noting that the player joined the English side on a free transfer, as his contract with the São Paulo club had expired.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION?

At the moment, Flamengo has two right-backs in the squad. Varela is the undisputed starter for the team coached by Leonardo Jardim, while Emerson Royal is the backup. In addition, the experienced Danilo can also play in the role, as he has featured in the position throughout his career.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

While the window does not open, Flamengo remains focused on the team’s upcoming challenges this season. As such, the Rubro-Negro side takes the field on Saturday (11) against Fluminense at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, for the 11th round of the Brasileirão.
