Flamengo eye striker from English football, report says | OneFootball

Léo Scienza is under contract with Southampton (ENG) until June 2028

Flamengo continues to scout both the international and domestic transfer markets in search of options for the rest of the season. As a result, the Rubro-Negro side is monitoring the potential signing of attacking midfielder Léo Scienza, who is currently with Southampton (ENG).

Léo Scienza has emerged as one of the options to replace Everton Cebolinha, who could leave the Most Beloved. José Boto is keeping an eye on the Brazilian and sees the deal as viable because of his technical profile and versatility on the pitch. The information comes from RTI Esportes.

WHAT IS SCIENZA’S SITUATION?

Currently, Léo Scienza has posted positive numbers at Southampton. The 27-year-old Brazilian has made 42 appearances for the English second-division club, scoring seven goals and providing ten assists for his teammates.

Léo Scienza has been crucial for Southampton this season. Thanks to the Brazilian’s goals and assists, the team will compete in the English second-division playoffs. That gives them a chance to return to the Premier League and secure a multimillion-dollar prize.

WHO IS SCIENZA?

The player left Brazil early and was transferred to Schalke 04 (GER) before he had even reached adulthood. Soon after, he moved to FC Magdeburg (GER) and SSV Ulm 1846 (GER), before joining Heidenheim (GER). Finally, he was bought by Southampton in August of last year.

The transfer window in Brazilian football opens on June 20, during the World Cup. At the moment, Léo Scienza is under contract with Southampton until the end of the 2028 European season. Therefore, the Brazilian will only leave the English club if an offer is made.

WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY?

While the window has not yet opened, Flamengo are preparing to face Grêmio this Sunday (10) at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in Porto Alegre, in a match valid for the 15th round of the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, Coluna do Fla will bring all the information about the match.
