Flamengo sound out move for Real Betis player, says journalist | OneFootball

River Plate (ARG) and Tigres (MEX) are competing with Flamengo

Flamengo continues to keep an eye on the market in search of new signings for the next transfer window. As a result, one of the names that has appeared on the club’s radar is Nelson Deossa, a midfielder for Real Betis (ESP).

According to journalist Matteo Moretto, Flamengo is closely monitoring Nelson Deossa’s situation. In addition, River Plate (ARG) and Tigres (MEX) are also interested in the player.

What did Coluna do Fla find out?

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, Nelson Deossa’s position is not a priority for Flamengo. That is because the Betis player mainly operates as a defensive midfielder, and the Rubro-Negro already has several players for the role: Jorginho, Saúl, De La Cruz and Lucas Paquetá.

Who is Nelson Deossa?

A 26-year-old Colombian, Nelson Deossa came through the youth ranks at Independiente Yumbo (COL), and has also played for Atlético Nacional (COL), Monterrey (MEX), and Real Betis. The midfielder, in fact, joined the Spanish side in August 2025 for 12 million euros (R$ 70 million).

In addition, according to Transfermarkt, Nelson Deossa is valued at nine million euros (R$ 52.6 million). In the 2025/26 season, the Colombian has made 32 appearances, with one assist.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo, meanwhile, is preparing for another fixture. This Thursday (14), Fla faces Vitória at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. After a 2-1 win in the first leg, Mengão can even draw and still advance to the Round of 16.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Vitória through YouTube, the website, and social networks. However, Sportv (cable TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Copa do Brasil match.
