Flamengo was very active at the end of the signing window. In recent weeks, Mais Querido announced the signings of striker Michael, left-back Alex Sandro and midfielder Carlos Alcaraz. The club also already has a deal for the Ecuadorian winger Gonzalo Plata, who is in Qatar football and could be announced at any time.
With this, Mengão ended its participation as a buyer in the football market, but, according to the football director, Bruno Spindel, Flamengo can still act as a seller in the last days of the window. Spindel revealed that, on the trip that the red and black directors took in Europe, contacts were made by clubs abroad to negotiate players from the current Mais Querido squad.
“Initially, the trip was just to signings, but they opened some doors and it could be that a transfer or another (exit) will occur during this window. One or two players may leave. I'm just not going to reveal names”, Bruno Spindel told journalists present at the airport to accompany the arrival of Carlos Alcaraz.
Despite the window for the main European football markets closing this Saturday (31), the director highlighted that other countries still keep the window open for longer, beyond the 2nd, as is the case in Brazil. “If I'm not mistaken, there are Qatar, Turkey, Russia and some other markets that remain open after the 2nd”, he concluded.
So far, only Victor Hugo, who was included in the negotiation by Alcaraz, from the red-black main team left the club this summer. Mais Querido had advanced negotiations to sell right-back Wesley to Atalanta, but the talks stalled and the player remains at Mengão. Fabrício Bruno also aroused interest from European football clubs, however, the defender did not accept an offer from West Ham and Rennes, from France, did not send a proposal despite having contacted Flamengo to understand the defender's situation.< /p>
