Asian side move for Flamengo's Gonzalo Plata | OneFootball

Gonzalo Plata has an uncertain future at Flamengo after recent issues with Leonardo Jardim

Flamengo is trying to negotiate the departure of forward Gonzalo Plata after internal issues at the club in recent days. As a result, Qatar’s Al Duhail is closely monitoring the situation and is looking to sign the Ecuadorian player from the Rubro-Negro side.

In fact, Al Duhail (QAT) plans to line up a well-advanced deal for the next transfer window. However, Flamengo has chosen not to move forward with negotiations at this time and prefers to wait for a more favorable scenario.

That is because football director José Boto intends to wait until the World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Since Gonzalo Plata is a guaranteed name in Ecuador’s squad, he could increase his market value during the tournament. The information comes from RTI Esportes.

WHAT IS GONZALO PLATA’S SITUATION?

Gonzalo Plata became the target of internal criticism at Flamengo after actions that displeased coach Leonardo Jardim. As a result, the Portuguese manager even left the Ecuadorian out of the squad list for the match against Corinthians in São Paulo.

Despite Gonzalo Plata being sidelined by Flamengo, the player has remained an important figure for Ecuador. The forward played for the national team against Morocco last Friday (27), providing an assist and conceding a penalty.

WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY?

Flamengo remain focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. With that, the Rubro-Negro team face Red Bull Bragantino this Thursday (2) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in Bragança Paulista, in the Brazilian Championship.
