Flamengo face Barcelona competition for Brazilian wonderkid | OneFootball

Barcelona (ESP) has already begun talks with Kauã Elias’ representatives

Flamengo is monitoring the situation of forward Kauã Elias, formerly of Fluminense and currently at Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR). However, the red-and-black side will now face competition from another club for the striker: Barcelona (ESP).

According to information from RTI Esportes, Barcelona is trying to sign Kauã Elias as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski. However, the Spaniards’ first choice remains João Pedro, currently at Chelsea (ENG).

Barcelona’s move is being led by Deco, a former Fluminense player and currently the club’s sporting director. In fact, the Spanish team has already started talks with Kauã Elias’ camp to understand the striker’s financial situation.

In addition to Flamengo and Barcelona, clubs from Germany, Spain, France, England, and Italy have recently made inquiries to understand the player’s situation. Finally, Shakhtar Donetsk does not intend to make the striker’s release easy.

IS FLAMENGO WATCHING THE MARKET?

However, Flamengo does not have only Kauã Elias as a target for the rest of the season. The red-and-black team is also keeping an eye on Argentine forward Taty Castellanos, currently at West Ham (ENG), who has been on the club’s list of interests since the start of the year.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. The team led by Leonardo Jardim takes the field this Wednesday (20) to face Estudiantes (ARG) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã in the Copa Libertadores.
