Flamengo set to sell Matheus Gonçalves to Al-Ahli | OneFootball

Flamengo has agreed on the terms of Matheus Gonçalves' transfer to Al-Ahli. The deal was closed for 8 million euros (about R$ 50 million). The information is from Portal Leo Dias.

With no room in Filipe Luís' team, the 20-year-old midfielder Matheus Gonçalves, returned to the under-20 team. His farewell was last Saturday, when Flamengo beat Barcelona and became bi-champion of the Intercontinental in the category.

At the beginning of the transfer window, the midfielder almost closed with Cruzeiro for 3.5 million euros (R$ 22 million), but Flamengo backed down later. After that, the Rubro-Negro rejected an offer of 7 million euros (R$ 44 million) made by CSKA Moscow.

In the current season, Matheus Gonçalves had 15 opportunities in Flamengo's main team and scored only two goals. Thus, the Rubro-Negro board started to listen to offers for the player again.

Now, with the agreement between Flamengo and Al-Ahli underway, only Matheus Gonçalves' contract signature is missing. It is likely that the Rubro-Negro will retain a percentage of the midfielder.

If the deal goes through, the midfielder will join the current champion of the Asian Champions League. Currently, Al-Ahli already has two Brazilians: defender Ibañez, ex-Fluminense and forward Galeno, ex-Porto.
