Boto's talks with Monaco and possible Flamengo exits to French club

What did José Boto, Flamengo’s executive football director, say about players moving to Monaco (FRA)?

Since Filipe Luís took over at Monaco (FRA), the French club has become one of the possible destinations for Flamengo players in this transfer window. Faced with this situation, José Boto confirmed that he has not received any offers from the French club for Flamengo players, but left the door open for possible deals.

– Officially, there has been no approach (offer) for any Flamengo player. Monaco’s own director said he had no interest in Flamengo’s players. But now, we’ll wait until the end of the window to understand what will happen –, said José Boto in an interview with ‘Flamengo TV’.

In recent weeks, the names of Léo Pereira and Evertton Araújo have emerged as Monaco ‘targets’ for the upcoming window. However, as José Boto, Flamengo’s executive football director, stated, it is nothing more than rumors.

ARE THERE MORE FLAMENGO PLAYERS ON MONACO’S RADAR?

If Léo Pereira and Evertton Araújo are still just speculation, Jorginho was contacted by Monaco through Filipe Luís. According to reporting by Coluna do Fla reporter Rock Hudson, the former left back called the Italian-Brazilian to present the French club’s project. However, the midfielder made it clear that he will remain at Rubro-Negro.

In addition to Jorginho, Filipe Luís also spoke with two other Flamengo players. The first was Jorge Carrascal, a midfielder who represented Colombia at the World Cup. The other name, so far, has not yet been revealed.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S SITUATION IN THE TRANSFER MARKET?

It is important to point out that before the start of the transfer window, Flamengo understood that it already has a strong squad and therefore only needs targeted signings. That way, Rubro-Negro is not considering negotiating any players regarded as starters, given the difficulty of finding replacements of the same level on the market.

In an interview with Coluna do Fla reporter Rock Hudson, Boto made it clear that Flamengo has three players lined up for this window. One of them is Thiago Almada, who is representing Argentina at the World Cup. At the moment, Rubro-Negro has the player’s ‘ok’ to continue negotiations. With that, Rubro-Negro is trying to clear other obstacles in order to bring the player in.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While the board looks at options in the market, Flamengo will be on the pitch to face Olimpia (PAR) at 8:00 PM (Brasília time) this Friday (17), at Mané Garrincha Stadium. As a result, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will provide match details on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
