Boto asks Flamengo for Brazil star to let Plata join Cruzeiro | OneFootball

What proposal did José Boto, Flamengo’s football executive, make to release Plata to Cruzeiro?

Plata is not going through a good spell at Flamengo, and because of that, Cruzeiro has already shown interest in signing the forward. Given this situation, José Boto, the Rubro-Negro football director, asked for Kaiki Bruno in order to release the Ecuadorian to the Minas Gerais club.

Seeking compensation for Plata’s departure, Flamengo, represented by José Boto, included Kaiki Bruno in the negotiations. However, the Minas Gerais club’s board refused to involve the full-back, who is with the Brazilian national team, in the deal.

Flamengo’s initial idea was to make a kind of loan “swap” involving Plata and Cruzeiro’s Kaiki Bruno. However, representatives of the Belo Horizonte club have already made it clear that there is zero chance of this deal happening. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.

WHAT IS PLATA’S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Forward Plata seems to be living his final moments in a Flamengo shirt. That is because, besides not getting opportunities from coach Leonardo Jardim, the Ecuadorian has also been criticized behind the scenes over acts of indiscipline.

After the matter was leaked to the media, Plata removed most of the photos of himself wearing the Flamengo shirt from social media, leaving only the one from the Libertadores triumph. In addition, the forward unfollowed the club.

HAS PLATA ALREADY LEFT FLAMENGO?

No! Amid all this turmoil, Plata is still a Flamengo player. At the moment, the athlete is on international duty with Ecuador during the FIFA international window. This Friday (27), in fact, the forward will be in the starting lineup for the match against Morocco. As usual, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match on its website and social media.
