Leonardo Jardim on Flamengo’s hopes for the next transfer window | OneFootball

Leonardo Jardim said Flamengo has needs in the squad, but needs to assess the financial side

Amid the break in the schedule for the World Cup, Flamengo is thinking about upcoming market opportunities. As a result, the Most Beloved has set its transfer priorities after the Club World Cup. It is no surprise, then, that Leonardo Jardim spoke on the subject.

At the moment, Flamengo still has a center forward as its top priority signing in the next transfer window. In addition, the Rubro-Negro also plans to sign a left back. In the meantime, Leonardo Jardim spoke about Fla’s expectations for the next transfer window.

What did Leonardo Jardim say?

— An important step is knowing how much we will have to invest. We have needs, but we’ll see whether the money will be enough to go after them. With that guideline, we will strengthen the squad with more quality. We won’t make changes just for the sake of it. We will bring in players who can truly add something. At the moment, the attacking midfield role is a bit dependent on Arrascaeta and, at times, Carrascal. We could have a different player in that area. José Boto is working on that situation. As for the rest, we have to look at each position and add more quality -, he said.

What are Flamengo’s real priorities?

In short, Flamengo’s priority remains a ‘number 9’ to compete for a spot with Pedro, and the profile is still the same as the one sought in the previous window. In other words, a more mobile center forward who attacks space. On that occasion, Fla tried for Kaio Jorge and Taty Castellanos, but made no progress.

Now, in addition to a ‘number 9’, the club is also expected to sign a left back. In this way, one of the targets is Kaiki Bruno of Cruzeiro. Finally, an attacking midfielder could also appear on Fla’s list of signings in the next transfer window.

When does the next window open?

It is important to note that the second transfer window will be open from July 20 to September 11. Therefore, Flamengo’s focus is on solving the shortage at center forward and left back, despite moves to renew Alex Sandro’s contract. In short, Fla’s idea is to negotiate Ayrton Lucas and sign a player to replace the departure of the number 6.
