Flamengo closes in on exits for 2 players | OneFootball

Which players are close to leaving Flamengo?

Flamengo is looking to take advantage of business opportunities in an attempt to negotiate the transfer of some players. In that regard, defensive midfielder Kaio Nóbrega and forward Alan Santos, from the U-20 team, are close to leaving the Rubro-Negro.

Kaio Nóbrega is the player whose situation is furthest along to leave Flamengo. At the moment, Mengo has reached an agreement with Estoril (POR), with the player set to be under contract with the Portuguese side until 2029.

Upon arriving at Estoril, Kaio Nóbrega will join the U-23 squad. As part of the deal, Flamengo will not receive any fee for the transfer, but will retain 30% of the midfielder’s economic rights. Finally, the player is already expected in Portugal next week.

WHAT IS ALAN SANTOS’ SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Alan Santos was one of the young players who got opportunities with Leonardo Jardim in training during the World Cup period. As such, the player took part in activities at CT Ninho do Urubu and was also part of the squad that traveled to Algarve, Portugal.

HOW DOES FLAMENGO VIEW THIS MOMENT FOR THE YOUNG PLAYERS IN THE SQUAD?

It is important to note that, since the start of the mid-season training period, Leonardo Jardim has made it clear that he likes working with academy youngsters. Because of this, the Portuguese coach promoted some players to the senior team.

During the time in Portugal, Flamengo also took the opportunity to ‘showcase’ players to European clubs. That is because, in the match against Lausanne Sports (SUI), the Rubro-Negro fielded a team packed with Ninho graduates. As a result, scouts from European clubs were able to watch players who could become a potential future sale for Mengão.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While the board tries to broker deals for the Ninho youngsters, Flamengo’s squad returns to the field this Sunday (09) for a Brasileirão fixture. In short, the opponent will be Vitória at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã.
