Flamengo remains attentive in the transfer market in search of new reinforcements. Thus, one of the names that interests the board is Jhon Arias, former striker for Fluminense. Not by chance, the Rubro-Negro held talks with the current Wolverhampton (ENG) player.
In addition, Flamengo made an offer to Wolverhampton to sign Jhon Arias. However, the Colombian said he does not want to play for Mais Querido. As a result, the Rubro-Negro board gave up negotiations for the former Fluminense player.
Despite rejecting the proposal from Flamengo, Jhon Arias is very close to returning to Brazilian football. That’s because Palmeiras has moved forward with the signing of the player, after offering 25 million euros (R$ 155 million) to Wolverhampton.
So far, Flamengo has completed the signing of three players. The Rubro-Negro brought in Vitão, formerly of Internacional, to strengthen Filipe Luís’ defense. In addition, Mengão secured the arrival of goalkeeper Andrew. Finally, Fla made the biggest investment in the history of Brazilian football to bring Lucas Paquetá from West Ham (ENG).
Yes! Flamengo still wants to sign a striker for Filipe Luís’ team. However, after the major investment to bring in Lucas Paquetá, the Rubro-Negro does not intend to make any ‘crazy’ moves in the market. Thus, Mengão remains alert in search of new opportunities.
After drawing with Internacional, Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (07) to face Sampaio Corrêa, for the sixth round of the Carioca. Thus, the ball will roll at 9pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. It’s worth noting that the Rubro-Negro is in a delicate situation in the State Championship.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Sampaio Corrêa, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
