Behind the scenes of the atmosphere between the players and Leonardo Jardim at Flamengo

In short, Flamengo have experienced moments of ‘heaven and hell’ throughout the season. After the loss to Cruzeiro last Saturday (22), the atmosphere at the club once again became a topic in the sports news. Meanwhile, the relationship between the players and coach Leonardo Jardim began to be questioned.

Given this situation, the subject came up on Thursday (27) during Danilo’s press conference. In this way, the number 13 made it clear that any possible disagreements between the squad and Leonardo Jardim are ‘made-up things’.

What is still needed for Plata to leave Flamengo and sign with Dynamo Moscow?

Flamengo are very close to selling Gonzalo Plata in this transfer window. At the moment, Dynamo Moscow (RUS) appear to be the Ecuadorian’s next destination. Given this situation, here is what is still needed for the Red-and-Blacks to release the forward to the Russian team.

Between Plata’s entourage and Dynamo Moscow, the deal is well advanced. In fact, salary terms and contract length have already been agreed. Therefore, with the player’s ‘ok’, the Russian club is preparing to submit a formal offer to Flamengo.

Flamengo reject R$ 60 million bid for João Victor

A starter and captain of Brazil’s Under-20 national team, João Victor is highly valued on the market. That’s because the Flamengo center back received a proposal from the City Group worth 10 million euros, that is, R$ 60 million (at the current exchange rate). However, the Red-and-Blacks turned down the offer in recent days.

At the moment, Flamengo have four center backs in the senior squad: Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Danilo and Vitão. In the last match, against Cruzeiro, João Victor had to be included in the squad, since the number 4 was rested, and the former Internacional player is in the medical department.
