Barcelona move for player could earn Flamengo millions | OneFootball

Natan has a contract with Betis (ESP) until June 2030

Barcelona (ESP) is in the market looking for a left-footed center back to strengthen the squad for next season. As a result, the Spanish club is trying to sign Natan, former Flamengo player, who is currently at Betis (ESP). Mengo could receive a multimillion-dollar amount.

According to information from ‘beIN Sports’, Betis will not make it easy to let Natan go. That is because the club is demanding 30 million euros (R$ 175.9 million at the current exchange rate) to release the former Flamengo center back.

Barcelona’s main target is center back Alessandro Bastoni, currently at Inter Milan (ITA). However, the fee demanded by the Italians, 70 million euros (R$ 410.6 million at the current exchange rate), makes the situation difficult. As a result, the Spanish club has turned its attention to Natan, former Flamengo player.

COULD FLAMENGO RECEIVE A MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR AMOUNT?

Flamengo is the club that developed Natan. Therefore, Mengo holds 3.5% of the solidarity mechanism as his training club. If he is sold for 35 million euros (R$ 175.9 million at the current exchange rate), the Most Beloved would receive 1.22 million euros (R$ 7.16 million).

WHAT IS NATAN’S CURRENT SITUATION?

Natan is having a positive season with Betis, which is chasing direct qualification for the Champions League. As such, the former Flamengo center back has played 41 matches for the Spanish club. During that period, the defender provided one assist.

Center back Natan emerged in 2020 and was soon loaned to Red Bull Bragantino. After a strong spell, the Brazilian club bought the defender. Shortly afterward, the player was transferred to Napoli (ITA) in 2023. Finally, he joined Betis on a permanent deal in 2025.

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Flamengo, Natan’s former team, remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. That is because the Most Beloved takes the field this Wednesday (29) to face Estudiantes (ARG) away from home at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in the third round of the Copa Libertadores.
