Plata has seen his playing time reduced at Flamengo in recent matches due to his off-field behavior. Leonardo Jardim, however, stood by the player after the controversies and decided that he will use him again in the next matches for the Most Beloved.
According to ESPN, Flamengo was bothered by Plata’s off-field behavior and made him available on the transfer market. The plan remains in place, but Leonardo Jardim will not make any effort to push for the player’s departure.
Leonardo Jardim, therefore, left the decision on Plata’s departure to José Boto and Bap. Until the mid-year transfer window, the player will remain available to Flamengo for the season.
Plata, in fact, was included in Flamengo’s squad list for this Wednesday’s (08) clash with Cusco (PER). The match will take place at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time in Peru, in Flamengo’s Copa Libertadores opener.
Thus, Flamengo’s match against Cusco will be broadcast by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV, by GETV on YouTube, and by Paramount+ via streaming. However, Coluna do Fla will be in Peru to bring all the information on the Rubro-Negro through its social media channels.
