The Flamengo got it right signing of Gonzalo Plata, an Ecuadorian player who played for Real Valladolid, in Spain. The Rio club disbursed 3.8 million euros to acquire 50% of the athlete's economic rights, in a negotiation that reinforces the red and black squad following the season. Plata, who stood out for his skill and speed in recent seasons, arrives at Flamengo with the expectation of adding quality to the team's offensive sector. The 23-year-old striker is known for his dribbling and finishing skills, characteristics that made him an important player in the Spanish team and the Ecuadorian national team.
With this signing, Flamengo seeks to fill gaps in the squad and offer more options to the coach, especially after the injury to Everton Cebolinha , who missed the team in the last few games. The deal was closed after weeks of negotiations between Flamengo, Valladolid and the player's representatives. The red and black board had been monitoring the market in search of alternatives to reinforce the attack and saw in Plata a viable market opportunity, both due to the player's age and the cost involved in the transaction. With the acquisition, Flamengo maintains its policy of investing in young players with potential for future appreciation.
A WEIGHT REINFORCEMENTIn addition to the amount paid for 50% of the economic rights, the Flamengo committed to including clauses of performance bonus, which can increase the final cost of hiring. These bonuses are linked to individual and collective goals that Gonzalo Plata must meet throughout his contract, such as the number of goals, assists and achievements with the club.
Plata's arrival at Flamengo is not just a bet in an emerging talent, but also a strategy to diversify the team's attack. With a playing style that favors one-on-one and speed, the Ecuadorian striker has the ideal profile to play on the wing, a role that has been occupied by players who are currently sidelined due to injury or poor performance. Plata will have the responsibility of quickly adapting to Brazilian football and the demands of a fan base accustomed to seeing their team fighting for titles in all competitions.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
