The European transfer window has been closed since early August, but Flamengo almost saw another former player play in the Premier League . Manchester United made an official offer for goalkeeper Kauã Santos , but it was unsuccessful.
According to the German newspaper Bild Sport, the English club was turned down by Eintracht Frankfurt , who set a price of 25 million euros (approximately R$156.3 million) to release the player . As the request was considered high, the English club abandoned the deal and opted to sign Belgian Senne Lammens, formerly of Royal Antwerp.
The goalkeeper position has been one of Manchester United's biggest challenges. After David de Gea's decline in performance, the Red Devils invested heavily in the position, with the most notable signing being André Onana , but they never managed to secure the expected return from the Cameroonian.
Kauã Santos left Flamengo in August 2023, when he was sold to Frankfurt for €1.6 million (approximately R$8.4 million at the time) in a deal that involved 70% of his economic rights. Flamengo still holds 30% and could profit from a future transfer.
While following the movements in the European market from afar, Flamengo remains focused on its commitments for the season. The team returns to the field this Sunday (28), against Corinthians, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Neo Química Arena, for the Brazilian Championship.
