Flamengo step up chase for Fiorentina striker, next move in the works | OneFootball

Flamengo Improved Conditions Offered to Fiorentina (ITA) and Made Italian Team ‘Waver’ on Sale

After presenting Emerson Royal and announcing Samuel Lino last Tuesday (29), Flamengo remains active in the transfer market. Now, the main focus is on signing Lucas Beltrán, a forward from Fiorentina (ITA).

According to journalist Stefano Del Corona, Flamengo has advanced to meet Fiorentina's expectations. The Italian club's idea is to receive around 15 million euros (approximately R$ 98 million) for the player.

Initially, the amount was far from what Flamengo had planned. However, according to the publication, the values are now closer, and the financial aspect should not be a problem in the negotiation for Beltrán.

Has Lucas Beltrán Agreed with Flamengo?

So far, the Argentine forward has not given the go-ahead for the transfer. This is because Beltrán's initial priority is to continue in European football. However, there is an openness to conversation.

Knowing this, Flamengo is already intensifying efforts to try to convince the player. Additionally, according to Stefano Del Corona, the club will have a direct meeting with Beltrán later this week.

It is worth noting that Beltrán is only 24 years old and has played just two seasons in European football, both at Fiorentina. Before that, most of his career took place at River Plate (ARG), with a brief stint at Colón (ARG).

What Position Does Beltrán Play?

Versatile, the Argentine stands out for his movement ability in the offensive sector. Thus, Beltrán's main position is as a second striker, but he can also play as a center forward and main reference in the attack.

With these characteristics, the Argentine fits the management's idea of having a duo to play alongside Pedro. The number 9 continues to be treated as the main name for the Flamengo attack. However, the football department understands that they need an equally capable substitute to handle occasional absences of the player.
