Flamengo is about to announce the signing of Ecuadorian Gonzalo Plata as its fourth reinforcement in the current transfer window. The agreement with Al-Sadd, from Qatar, has been finalized, and the Rio club is just waiting for the return of the signed contract to make the player's arrival official. Plata will sign with Rubro-Negro until December 2028.
NEGOTIATION DETAILS
Flamengo will initially pay US$ 4.25 million (around R$24 million) to acquire more than 30% of Gonzalo Plata's economic rights. The remainder will be acquired progressively, as the player reaches goals stipulated in the contract.
The total operation, so that Flamengo has 100% of the player's rights, will be closed at US$9.1 million (approximately R$51.9 million). Furthermore, Al-Sadd guaranteed a 30% profit on a possible future sale of the athlete.
LONG NEGOTIATION AND EXPECTATIONS
The negotiation for the young 23-year-old player, revealed by Independiente del Valle and with spells at Sporting-POR and Valladolid-ESP, was the longest of this transfer window. Although an agreement was almost reached on the 23rd, changes in the conditions proposed by Al-Sadd required new adjustments. The initial forecast was that Plata would disembark in Rio de Janeiro by August 25th, but the process was prolonged due to these impasses.
GONZALO PLATA'S PERFORMANCE LAST SEASON
Last season, Gonzalo Plata, playing for Al-Sadd, scored 12 goals and provided eight assists. With his arrival, Flamengo hopes to further reinforce its squad for the remainder of the season, seeking titles on both the national and international scene.

Flamengo ended the 2024 season by winning the Copa do Brasil, under the command of Filipe Luís . However, despite the title, some players faced criticism from the fans due to their performance below expectations. Among the targets of criticism was midfielder Allan , who received a vote of confidence from the red-black board to focus on the club's new phase.
According to information from journalist André Rizek, from SporTV, Mais Querido's directors met with Allan to emphasize the need to forget the past and keep full attention on the present and the future. During the conversation, the club emphasized that the midfielder should not feel pressured by the amount invested in the signing and that the confidence in him remains.
Let's start over, it's from here on out..."
— There is an internal effort with Allan to tell him: “Forget the past. What happened is happened. Let’s start over , it’s from here on out. Forget how much you cost. We trust you.” However, he has not yet been able to give the expected answer. Internally, they are trying to make him justify the reason why the club paid the termination fee to Atlético-MG — Rizek said on SporTV.
INVESTMENT IN ALLAN
The midfielder was announced by Flamengo on July 2, 2023, at the request of then coach Jorge Sampaoli. To complete the transfer with Atlético-MG, the board paid 8.2 million euros (around R$43.1 million at the exchange rate at the time). The expectation was that Allan would maintain the high level of performance he had shown at the Minas Gerais club.
FANS' EXPECTATIONS ABOUT THE DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER'S FUTURE AT THE CLUB
With an irregular start at Flamengo , Allan was the target of criticism from the Rubro-Negra Nation, even having his name questioned at the end of last season. Now, with a new coaching staff and support from the board, the player has the opportunity to regain prestige and justify the trust placed in him by the club.
