Flamengo remain interested in signing midfielder Nelson Deossa, currently at Real Betis (ESP), but the player’s destination should be another country. That is because River Plate (ARG) are in advanced negotiations to sign the player, who is on the rubro-negro club’s radar.
According to journalist Germán García Grova, River Plate have already opened talks with Real Betis to complete the signing of Nelson Deossa. The Argentine club’s board intends to finalize the deal after the World Cup.
At the beginning of the month, Nelson Deossa’s name was linked with Flamengo. The rubro-negro side are reportedly looking at signing the midfielder because of his ability to play as a number 8. O Mais Querido has been surveying the market in search of options for the role.
Nelson Deossa is 26 years old and has been at Real Betis since August 2025. The Colombian midfielder started at Atlético Huila (COL), then went on to play for Estudiantes (ARG), Junior Barranquilla (COL), Atlético Nacional (COL), Pachuca (MEX), and Monterrey (MEX).
While the transfer window has not opened yet, Flamengo remain focused on their last match before the break for the World Cup. O Mais Querido face Coritiba this Saturday (30) at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in a match valid for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
