Flamengo signings: Boto reveals talks with 3 players | OneFootball

– At this moment, we have three players being negotiated. It was 4 a.m. here (Portugal) and I was negotiating with a player. To tell the fans that, at this moment, we have three players -, he said, before concluding: – I’m not going to talk about positions, Mister (Leonardo Jardim) has already said a little about that. And the three important parties at the club already know, which are me, the president, and the coach. They also already know what situation and stage these negotiations are at -, José Boto concluded in an exclusive interview with Coluna do Fla.

Still in the exclusive interview with Coluna do Fla’s reporters, who are in the Algarve, Portugal, José Boto made it clear how Rubro-Negro’s moves in the window will be handled. In the Portuguese executive’s view, Mengo does not have room to make extremely expensive signings, given the need to keep the club’s finances under control.

– We are not going to sign players anymore just because someone wants us to sign a certain player. How are we going to sign a player if it’s not the coach’s need? That does not mean the player is bad; we are not belittling the player. I have to listen to the coach before anything else -, Boto stressed.

– People talk, but they do not have the slightest idea of what the European market is. Today, for a player over 25 years old to go to Europe is very difficult. The big transfers that happen nowadays are with athletes who are already in Europe or with very young ones, aged 18 or 19 -, he commented, before concluding: – Above 24 years old, very high fees are rarely paid. Given that situation, Evertton Araújo is one of the ‘sellable’ players in Flamengo’s squad when we talk about those values -, he said.
