Flamengo eye move for defender Jair, former Botafogo player | OneFootball

Jair is only 20 years old and has played little for Nottingham Forest (ENG) this season

Flamengo is active at the end of this season and is seeking to sign a new defender for 2026. Thus, the red-black club has shown interest in signing defender Jair, formerly of Botafogo and currently at Nottingham Forest (ENG).

According to information from the newspaper ‘O Globo’, Flamengo has not yet made an offer for Jair to Nottingham Forest. It is more likely that Mengão will present a loan offer to the Premier League club.

WHAT IS JAIR'S SITUATION?

Jair joined Nottingham Forest at the start of the European season. However, the former Botafogo player has not been given many opportunities. The Premier League club has experienced instability and three coaching changes. As a result, the defender has played in only two games.

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

Flamengo currently has few options for the defensive sector. At the moment, Filipe Luís has only Danilo, Léo Ortiz, and Léo Pereira. Therefore, the red-black club is going to the market in search of signing a new defender.

Besides Jair, Flamengo has shown interest in signing Vitão, a defender from Internacional. However, the club from Rio Grande do Sul is asking for 10 million euros (R$ 65.8 million at the current exchange rate) for 80% of the player's economic rights.
