Flamengo is in the final stretch of the season but is also keeping an eye on the transfer market for the next year. Thus, Jhon Arias, currently at Wolverhampton (ENG) and former Fluminense player, is a target. However, Mengão has gained a competitor for the attacking midfielder.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur, a transfer specialist, Jhon Arias is a target for Galatasaray (TUR) for the upcoming January window. Additionally, the Flamengo forward is on the list of several clubs across the European continent.
Jhon Arias was bought by Wolverhampton right after the Club World Cup held in the United States. However, the Colombian attacking midfielder has not been able to establish himself in the Premier League and intends to leave the English club.
Nonetheless, Jhon Arias wants to continue in Europe. In case of a return to Brazil, the Colombian has prioritized Fluminense. However, Flamengo is devising a strategy to try to sign the player for the 2026 season.
Wolverhampton is close to being relegated to the second division of the English Championship. Thus, the team intends to recover the 22 million euros (R$ 135.6 million at the current exchange rate) for the Colombian player.
While the Flamengo management is already eyeing some reinforcements for the next season, the squad remains focused on the final stretch of the tournaments. Thus, the Most Beloved faces Fluminense this Wednesday (19th), at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 34th round of the Brasileirão.
