Claudinho reveals offer and his wish to play for Flamengo | OneFootball

Flamengo Almost Signed Claudinho in 2024

Flamengo tried to sign midfielder Claudinho several times in recent years, when the player was at Zenit (RUS). Thus, the former Brazilian National Team midfielder recalled how the negotiations went and mentioned that he received offers from Mais Querido and Palmeiras.

— Flamengo and Palmeiras, always those two. With Flamengo, on another occasion, everything was almost settled; I really wanted to go. Sometimes people say: “Oh, he just used them and so on” — Claudinho began, in an interview with ‘TNT Sports Brasil’.

— No, what matters most is my mindset and what my family knows. That’s not it, I really wanted to go. But they didn’t want to let me go in Russia and offered me a contract extension — the Brazilian midfielder concluded.

DID FLAMENGO TRY TO SIGN CLAUDINHO?

Flamengo tried to sign Claudinho in two consecutive seasons. In the first, the red-and-black team ended up signing Nicolas de la Cruz. Soon after, Mais Querido gave up on seeking a new reinforcement for the midfield.

WHERE IS CLAUDINHO NOW?

After failing to be sold to Flamengo, Claudinho ended up being transferred to Al Sadd, in Qatar. Thus, the former Red Bull Bragantino player was announced by the Qatari team in January of this year.
