Manchester United eye move for former Flamengo goalkeeper | OneFootball

Kauã Santos is one of the top goalkeepers in German football

The transfer market in Europe has been closed since early August, but Flamengo almost had another former player in the Premier League. Manchester United (ENG) even made an offer for goalkeeper Kauã Santos, but was unsuccessful.

According to the German newspaper Bild Sport, Manchester United made an official offer for Kauã Santos. However, Eintracht Frankfurt rejected it and demanded around 25 million euros (R$ 156.3 million at the current exchange rate).

Thus, Manchester United decided to end negotiations for the goalkeeper developed by Flamengo. In the end, the Premier League club ended up signing Belgian Senne Lammens, who was at Royal Antwerp (BEL).

HOW MUCH WOULD FLAMENGO BE ENTITLED TO?

Kauã Santos was sold by Flamengo to Eintracht Frankfurt in August 2023 for 1.6 million euros (R$ 8.4 million at the time), corresponding to 70% of his economic rights. Thus, Mengo still retains 30% and could profit from a future sale.

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO?

Flamengo, Kauã Santos' former team, remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. O Mais Querido takes the field this Sunday (28th) to face Corinthians in São Paulo at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), for the Campeonato Brasileiro.
