Russian club consider move for Plata, says journalist | OneFootball

Plata is under contract with Flamengo until 2029

The transfer window has been extremely busy since opening this Monday (20). Amid that, Russia’s Krasnodar has been considering the signing of Gonzalo Plata, Flamengo forward, according to journalist Pablo Raphael.

It is worth noting that Plata’s interests are managed by agency AS1, which has a good relationship with Krasnodar. The same company, in fact, took part in the deal that sent right back Giovanni González from Krasnodar to River Plate (ARG).

HOW MUCH IS KRASNODAR WILLING TO PAY FOR PLATA?

Still according to journalist Pablo Raphael, a deal worth around 15 million euros (about R$ 87 million) is considered feasible for Krasnodar. That is because the Russian club sold forward Eduard Spertsyan to Al-Ahli (SAU) for around 25 million euros (R$ 145 million). In short, since it is a privately owned club, there is room to invest in Plata.

On the other hand, no official offer for the player has reached Flamengo. It is worth remembering that Plata’s contract with the Rubro-Negro club runs until August 2029.

In short, there is movement and a favorable scenario for an offer for Plata to happen. However, at this moment, Flamengo still has not received a formal proposal for the player.

WHAT ARE PLATA’S NUMBERS IN 2026?

Overall, for Flamengo, Gonzalo Plata has taken the field 24 times in 2026, 15 of them as a starter. During that span, the No. 19 has scored two goals.

In addition, the forward also represented Ecuador at the World Cup. An undisputed starter for ‘La Tri’, Plata played in four matches, until Ecuador was eliminated in the Round of 32 against Mexico.

HOW MUCH DID FLAMENGO PAY FOR THE SIGNING?

Gonzalo Plata was signed by Flamengo in August 2024. At the time, the forward was playing for Al-Sadd of Qatar.

Flamengo, in turn, bought the player’s economic rights in a deal totaling around 9 million dollars (approximately R$ 52 million at the exchange rate at the time), after contractual targets for minutes played in the first year were met.
