Flamengo scouted the signing of Douglas Costa in the 2022 season. However, the Most Beloved did not advance in the negotiations. Now, the forward will be a player for Chievo Verona (ITA), in the Serie D of the Italian Championship.
According to information from journalist DiMarzio, Douglas Costa signed a contract with Chievo Verona to later play for Al-Itiffaq, from Dubai. This is because the clubs have the same owner.
The trend, therefore, is that Douglas Costa will play as a Chievo Verona player until the end of the European season in June. Afterwards, the Brazilian will go to Dubai with the aim of playing for Al-Itiffaq.
Did Douglas Costa negotiate with Flamengo?
In December 2022, the then vice-president of football at Flamengo, Marcos Braz, was seen in a restaurant with Douglas Costa. However, some fans were upset with the possible signing and the talks did not progress.
Did Flamengo announce any signings in this window?
Yes! Flamengo announced two players in this transfer market. They are Vitão and Andrew. Now, the Most Beloved is focusing its attention on Lucas Paquetá, who has become the top priority for the Red-Black in the window.
