Even before the transfer window opens, the market is already active. In recent days, reports have even emerged that Monaco (FRA), managed by Filipe Luís, tried to sign some Flamengo players. With that, the Rubro-Negro has already made it clear that it does not ‘fear’ the former left-back and has defined plans for this period.
José Boto, Flamengo’s executive football director, stated that the quality of the club’s players increases outside interest. However, the Portuguese executive said he would only agree to sell any squad member for a fair price.
– I’m not afraid, I’m not especially afraid of Filipe Luís. I’m concerned that, because we have good players, the market as a whole will come knocking on our door. But they will have to pay the price we consider fair; or maybe, not even for a fair price will we let [players leave]. It depends a lot on what it is, case by case. It’s not really something that has a set plan –, Boto said in an interview with ‘ESPN’.
WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND FILIPE LUÍS IN THE TRANSFER WINDOW?
According to journalist Rock Hudson from Coluna do Fla, as soon as Filipe Luís took over at Monaco, the coach began planning the team for next season. In this way, the former Rubro-Negro boss targeted the signing of three Flamengo players.
The first of them was Jorginho, who received a call from Filipe Luís to move to Monaco. Next, the coach recommended the signing of Jorge Carrascal for the French club. Finally, the name of the third player suggested by the manager is being kept secret.
WERE THERE MORE FLAMENGO PLAYERS LINKED WITH MONACO?
In addition to the trio mentioned, Léo Pereira and Evertton Araújo were also linked with Monaco. However, according to Coluna do Fla’s reporting with people close to Flamengo’s football department, the club did not receive any official proposal from the French team for any player.
HOW IS FLAMENGO MOVING IN THE TRANSFER MARKET?
While some Flamengo names are on the radar of the European market, the Rubro-Negro is focusing on signing specific players in this transfer window. In total, Mengo is looking for three players, with Thiago Almada being one of them.
At the moment, Flamengo already has the approval of Thiago Almada’s camp to move forward with the negotiations. However, in a deal that involves several obstacles, the Rubro-Negro is handling the situation very cautiously.
WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?
Flamengo returns to the field this Friday (17) for the final friendly of the mid-season break. At 8:00 PM (Brasília time), Mengo faces Olimpia (PAR) at Mané Garrincha Stadium, in the Federal District. As a result, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
