Lino and journalist debate Flamengo’s stance in Palmeiras negotiations | OneFootball

Flamengo made an offer for Jhon Arias, which forced Palmeiras to raise their bid for the Colombian

Even after signing Lucas Paquetá, Flamengo made an offer for Jhon Arias, from Wolves (ENG), who is in negotiations with Palmeiras. Thus, journalist André Rizek sees reason for the Rubro-Negro to hinder their green-clad rival, which Carlos Eduardo Lino finds ridiculous.

Rizek explains that the red-black club’s offer of 22 million euros (R$ 136 million) forced Palmeiras to raise theirs to 25 million euros (R$ 154.5 million). Then, Lino questioned his Seleção SporTV colleague about what Fla achieved with this move.

— I think it’s ridiculous. As long as you don’t think as a league, don’t think about Financial Fair Play, don’t respect the market… Competing is one thing, but entering just to inflate prices is another — complained Carlos Eduardo.

Where is Jhon Arias going?

To Lino’s relief, Arias will not be going to Flamengo. That’s because the Colombian has reached an agreement with Palmeiras to play for the club later this year. Therefore, the former Fluminense player will leave England in less than a year.

When is Flamengo’s next match?

The Rubro-Negro will take the field on Saturday (07), starting at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), against Sampaio Corrêa-RJ, at Maracanã, for the sixth round of the Campeonato Carioca. The match will be broadcast on Premiere (pay-per-view), SporTV (cable channel), and GETV, on YouTube.
