It seems that the soap opera involving Flamengo, Bragantino and Léo Ortiz finally had a good outcome. This is because, after meetings between the directors of the two clubs this Tuesday (6), the São Paulo team accepted the proposal sent by Rubro Negro and the defender is moving to Rio.


According to information by journalist André Hernan, negotiations between Flamengo and Bragantino advanced after the board returned to Brazil, as the squad completed the pre-season in the USA. Now, all that remains is for the details to be agreed and the signature of both parties for the agreement to be sealed.


BRAGANTINO'S REQUEST AND AMOUNT OFFERED BY FLAMENGO


The São Paulo team initially asked for 12 million of euros (R$64.1 million). However, it is already considering accepting an offer of 8.5 million euros (R$45.4 million). Mais Querido’s latest proposal comes close to these values. Therefore, Rubro Negro was awaiting a response from the São Paulo team, which accepted the values ​​offered.

THIRD REINFORCEMENT IN THE SEASON


With the agreement between Flamengo and Bragantino, Léo Ortiz will be the third reinforcement of Rubro Negro in the season. Before the defender, Uruguayans Nicolás De La Cruz and Matías Viña arrived. Remembering that the defender was a request from coach Tite, who did not give up on signing the player.

LÉO ORTIZ'S MINUTES ON THE FIELD IN THE 2024 SEASON

So far the São Paulo team has done five games in Paulistão. However, Léo Ortiz started only three. On his debut in the competition, the defender played the final 22 minutes, after coming off the bench. Last Sunday (4), he was an option during the 90 minutes. With this, the defender will arrive in shape to be integrated into the professional squad.
