Flamengo close in on exits for 2 players | OneFootball

Which players are close to leaving Flamengo?

Flamengo are trying to take advantage of business opportunities in an attempt to negotiate the departure of some players. In that regard, defensive midfielder Kaio Nóbrega and forward Alan Santos, both from the club’s under-20 team, are close to leaving the Rubro-Negro.

Kaio Nóbrega is the player whose situation is the most advanced in terms of leaving Flamengo. At the moment, Mengo have reached an agreement with Estoril (POR), with the player set to remain under contract with the Portuguese club until 2029.

Upon arriving at Estoril, Kaio Nóbrega will join the under-23 squad. As part of the deal, Flamengo will not receive any fee, but will retain 30% of the midfielder’s economic rights. Finally, the player is already expected in Portugal next week.

WHAT IS ALAN SANTOS’ SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Alan Santos was one of the young players who were given opportunities by Leonardo Jardim in training during the World Cup period. As such, the player took part in activities at CT Ninho do Urubu and was also included in the squad that traveled to Algarve, Portugal.

HOW DOES FLAMENGO VIEW THIS MOMENT FOR THE YOUNG PLAYERS IN THE SQUAD?

It is important to point out that, since the start of the mid-season period, Leonardo Jardim has made it clear that he likes working with youth academy players. As a result, the Portuguese coach promoted some athletes to the senior squad.

During the time in Portugal, Flamengo also took the opportunity to ‘showcase’ players to European clubs. That is because, in the match against Lausanne Sports (SUI), the Rubro-Negro fielded a team packed with Ninho graduates. In this way, scouts from European clubs were able to watch players who could become a potential future sale for Mengão.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While the board tries to work out deals for the Ninho graduates, Flamengo’s squad returns to the pitch this Sunday (09) in a Brasileirão fixture. In short, the opponent will be Vitória at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.
