De La Cruz remains in Flamengo's squad for the final stretch of the season

The name of midfielder Nicolás de la Cruz, from Flamengo, has recently been speculated for a possible return to River Plate (ARG) for the next season. However, the Buenos Aires team denied the information and highlighted that there is no interest.

According to information from ‘MundoBola Flamengo‘, sources from River Plate state that, at the moment, there is no discussion about the possible return of Nicolás de la Cruz. Internally, these conversations are not happening, and the possibility of signing the midfielder is considered null.

WHAT IS DE LA CRUZ'S SITUATION?

Nicolás de la Cruz remains a substitute at Flamengo due to the good performances of Jorginho, Saúl Ñíguez, and Erick Pulgar. Additionally, the Uruguayan midfielder is also trying to maintain his physical rhythm to endure the final stretch of the season.

In the current season, De la Cruz has played only 26 games for Flamengo and scored one goal. The last time the Uruguayan midfielder took the field was in the 1-0 defeat to Bahia, at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador.

BACK TO RIVER PLATE?

Nicolás de la Cruz joined Flamengo for the 2024 season, when he was signed precisely from River Plate. The red-black team spent 16 million dollars (R$ 77.7 million at the exchange rate at the time).

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, with Nicolás de la Cruz available, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season, amid the final stretch. In this way, the Most Beloved faces Fortaleza this Saturday (25), at Arena Castelão, in a match valid for the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship.
