Zenit seal Brazilian signing, Flamengo target could now leave | OneFootball

Zenit (RUS) is close to completing the signing of Felipe Augusto

Flamengo is keeping an eye on the signing of Brazilian forward Luiz Henrique, who currently plays for Zenit (RUS). Meanwhile, the Russian side is finalizing a deal for another Brazilian player who plays in the same position. As a result, rumors about the Brazil National Team winger leaving are starting to gain momentum.

According to information from ‘Maisfutebol’, Zenit is wrapping up the signing of Felipe Augusto for 16 million euros (R$ 94 million at the current exchange rate). Therefore, the Russians should finalize the deal with Trabzonspor (TUR) soon.

Felipe Augusto had been monitored by other European clubs, such as Fenerbahçe (TUR). However, the Brazilian winger ultimately chose to join Zenit for the next European season.

On the other hand, Zenit is strengthening the area where Luiz Henrique, a Flamengo target, plays. The Brazil National Team winger could be sold, depending on the offer the Russian team receives in the transfer window, which opens in June.

HOW MUCH DOES ZENIT WANT?

Zenit does not intend to make negotiations easy for other teams. That is because the Russians are demanding around 40 million euros (R$ 235 million at the current exchange rate) to negotiate Luiz Henrique in the next transfer window.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION?

At the moment, Flamengo has a few players who operate on the right wing. However, Luiz Araújo, Gonzalo Plata and Jorge Carrascal could be sold in the next transfer window, which begins in June.
