Flamengo has made the left-back position one of its top priorities to strengthen in the next transfer window. As a result, the club has included Douglas Santos, currently at Zenit (RUS) and called up for the World Cup, on its list of targets.

Flamengo's plan is to try to sign Douglas Santos after the World Cup, which will be played between June and July. The 32-year-old full-back is under contract with Zenit until the end of next season, that is, until June 2027. The information comes from journalist João Van Boysen.

WHAT IS DOUGLAS SANTOS' SITUATION?

Douglas Santos has been a regular presence in the Brazil national team since the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti. In fact, the 32-year-old full-back is the backup to Alex Sandro, a Flamengo defender who is also on the list for the World Cup.

AND FLAMENGO?

Flamengo has three options at left-back. Alex Sandro is the starter, while Ayrton Lucas is the backup, but he is expected to leave the club soon. Finally, Matías Viña is on loan at River Plate (ARG) until the end of the year.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

While Douglas Santos remains focused on the World Cup, which begins next Thursday (11), Flamengo is targeting its mid-season training period during the tournament break. As such, the red-and-black team will travel to Portugal in July to play three friendlies in the Algarve.
