Leonardo Jardim's Flamengo bank 12m from ex-Sporting sale | OneFootball

Flamengo, coached by Portuguese manager Leonardo Jardim, will receive €12 million from the departure of Gonzalo Plata, the former Sporting player. The winger is set to leave the Brazilian club and is expected to continue his career at Dynamo Moscow in Russia.

According to journalist César Luis Merlo, the agreement between the clubs has been finalized, and the player is expected to travel in the coming days to undergo the usual medical examinations and sign a contract with his new club. The transfer represents a significant financial boost for Flamengo.

The Ecuador international had been highly praised by the coach, who acknowledged the player’s qualities and talent. Even so, Plata will not remain in the red-and-black squad and is now preparing to take on a new challenge in European football.

In 2026, the winger made 29 appearances for Flamengo, including playing in the Club World Cup, contributing two goals and four assists. These numbers come before his move to Russian football, in a transfer that will allow the Brazilian club to recoup a considerable amount from the player.
