Flamengo target 2 positions, Pedro understudy has 'special condition' | OneFootball

Coluna do Fla found out what Flamengo’s first steps in the market will be

Flamengo’s players are on vacation or at the World Cup, but the board’s work never stops. In search of reinforcements for the second half of the year, the Rubro-Negro club has as its main targets a No. 10 to rotate with Arrascaeta and a backup for Pedro. Coluna do Fla brings details on the club’s movement while the ball is not rolling.

Our reporting team found out that Flamengo wants a name to orchestrate the midfield when Arrascaeta cannot play. Even with Carrascal and even Lucas Paquetá for the position, the Rubro-Negro club wants another option. And this player will be a South American who plays in Europe.

The target has already been defined, and now the club is in the “process of convincing” the parties involved, both the player and the Old Continent club. In addition, this attacking midfielder also has the quality to play out wide. Finally, Flamengo understands that the market will “heat up” after June 20 because of the World Cup.

AND PEDRO’S BACKUP?

A topic of debate at Flamengo since the departure of Gabigol, Flamengo is still looking for a backup for Pedro. Coluna do Fla found out that the club will not go after a big-name player for the role, as it believes a possible signing could affect the performance of the current No. 9. In other words, the idea is to bring in a center forward to add depth to the squad, without much weight and preferably young.

HOW IS FLAMENGO DOING FINANCIALLY?

Because of the investment of more than R$ 260 million in Lucas Paquetá in the transfer window at the start of the year, Flamengo will not have as much financial power in the middle of this season. In other words, the Rubro-Negro board will need to be creative in the transfer market.
