|
Forward Luciano Rodríguez was targeted by Flamengoby journalist Matias Torres, but the Uruguayan is not expected to play in Brazilian football in 2024. It was his staff, Mauricio Machado, who broke the news in an interview with Rádio Continental.
< p>According to Mauricio, Luciano should move to Girona, in Spain or River Plate, in Argentina, which are the clubs that have the greatest possibility of signing the young man at the moment.“We are negotiating With Girona, there is a formal offer, but we have to listen to River Plate's proposal because it is a team that interests us a lot. They have to make the leap, change to a good team and River would be a good destination”, said Mauricio. In addition to Flamengo, Luciano Rodríguez had his name speculated in Brazil in clubs such as Vasco da Gama and Palmeiras recently.
LUCIANO RODRÍGUEZ FINEAccording to information from the TransferMarkt portal, Luciano's termination fine with Liverpool Uruguay is valued at 4.5 million euros (around R$24 million). Highlighting that Flamengo paid Nova Iguaçu for Carlinhos around R$ 3.5 million.
TITE REQUEST?Tite has already made it clear that he wants a striker to alternate with Luiz Araújo on the right side, a role played by Luciano Rodríguez. However, there is no confirmation whether the coach asked to sign the player. However, Flamengo will try to sign an athlete to perform in this role in the next transfer window.
The club has a new direction in negotiations for a striker
|
In recent days, some foreign players have been offered to Brazilian clubs, generating expectations and discussions among fans and managers. Although the international transfer market is always a source of interest for clubs in Brazil, decisions about signing these athletes depend on several factors, such as the squad's needs, values involved and the technical profile of each player.
O Flamengo a>, always present in conversations about big signings, was also the target of international offers. Two renowned players offered themselves to the club: Mariano Diaz, a center forward from the Dominican Republic, who previously played for Real Madrid, and Eric Maxim Chuopo-Moting, a Cameroonian striker, currently at Bayern Munich.
FLAMENGO THERE IS A RACE BEHIND THE SCENES FOR NAMES Mariano Diaz, who has already had his name mentioned in previous transfer windows, is looking to regain his leading role at a club that offers him more minutes on the field. Flamengo, known for its powerful attack , could be an interesting destination for the player, but there are questions about the space he would have in the squad. With names like Pedro and Gabigol already established in the offensive sector, Mariano's arrival could create even greater competition, which raises doubts about the real need for his hiring. In addition, Mariano's salary, who played in one of the most valuable leagues in the world, would be a determining factor. O Flamengo, despite being one of the richest clubs in Brazil, it also needs to maintain financial balance. The board has already shown caution in previous windows, prioritizing signings that make sense for the team's planning and that do not overload the salary bill. Eric Maxim Chuopo-Moting, in turn, offers himself as an alternative interesting for the red-black attack. The Cameroonian player, who has played for big clubs such as PSG and Bayern Munich, has the advantage of his versatility, being able to play as a center forward or deeper, depending on the team's needs.

5The club has taken precautions when hiring
|
The Flamengo a> adopts a cautious stance in negotiating the football market and, unlike previous years, does not intend to make exorbitant financial investments to make up for shortages. The current management, led by president Rodolfo Landim, has already allocated more than R$329 million to signings this season, making it the second year with the highest spending since 2019, when the club spent R$360.9 million on reinforcements. Even with the large number of signings, the club still faces difficulties in balancing its finances due to low revenue from player sales.
In contrast to the high amount spent on reinforcements, Flamengo isstay experiencing the worst year in terms of athlete sales since Rodolfo Landim assumed the presidency. Transfers made so far total just R$71.4 million, a value that frustrates the board's expectations. Furthermore, important negotiations that could represent a significant improvement in the club's accounts, such as the sales of Wesley and Fabrício Bruno, ended up not materializing. This disparity between spending on reinforcements and the return obtained from sales reflects a market policy that, at the moment, has not generated the expected financial results. Despite attempts to negotiate players and alleviate the wage bill, Flamengo continues without major progress in the field of athlete transfers. The lack of success in sales directly affects the club's financial planning, which is looking for alternatives to deal with the high costs of maintaining a competitive squad without compromising its financial health. The 2023 scenario contrasts sharply with the situation experienced in 2019, when Flamengo achieved a balance between expenses and revenue, driven by notable sales and strategic signings that led the team to important achievements. However, the current season presents an additional challenge: finding solutions to address shortages in the squad without further compromising the club's budget. The lack of success in sales has directly impacted Flamengo's finances, which already had faced difficulties in closing the financial statement at the beginning of the year. With the lack of resources from the transfer of athletes, the board is forced to rethink its market strategy, avoiding signings at any cost and looking for more viable alternatives to strengthen the squad.
