Which Flamengo target is owed money by Botafogo?

Flamengo made an inquiry about signing Thiago Almada, who is currently at Atlético de Madrid (Spain). The midfielder is also owed a multimillion amount by Botafogo, the Argentine player’s former club.

According to GE, Botafogo is drowning in debt, and one of those debts is to Thiago Almada. The club owes the midfielder R$ 2.5 million. Because of the overdue payments, Flamengo’s rival is currently unable to buy and register new players.

Did Flamengo inquire about signing Almada?

Yes! Flamengo got in touch with Almada in an attempt to open negotiations with the midfielder. However, the Argentine said he does not intend to return to South American football at the moment, as he wants to remain in Europe.

Did any other club inquire about signing Almada?

Besides Flamengo, River Plate also showed interest in signing Thiago Almada. However, the midfielder gave the Argentine club the same response, saying he does not intend to play in South America at the moment.

What is Flamengo’s priority in the market?

Flamengo has two priorities in the transfer market. First, the Rubro-Negro club is looking to sign a center forward to serve as backup for Pedro. In addition, an attacking midfielder who can play in place of Arrascaeta is also on the list.

At the moment, Flamengo does not see the search for a left back in the transfer market as a priority. However, if a good opportunity arises, the Rubro-Negro club is not ruling out making an offer.
