Gonzalo Plata will be Flamengo's last reinforcement this window

Flamengo reached an agreement this Thursday (29) for the Ecuadorian striker Gonzalo Plata. The player will be Mais Querido's fourth reinforcement in the mid-year window and, according to information from journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, he will also be Flamengo's last signing for the 2024 season.

Last week, the red -negro reported on the return of striker Michael, who felt his right thigh against Bahia and could become another absence for Flamengo. This week, Mais Querido announced the signings of left-back Alex Sandro, who had been without a club since his contract with Juventus ended, and Carlos Alcaraz, signed from Southampton.

Now, Gonzalo Plata closes the window for the red- black. The attacker is left-handed and plays on the right wing. In the last edition of the Catari Championship, the Ecuadorian played in 24 matches, scored eight goals and distributed six assists. The player is constantly called up to the Ecuador national team and even competed in the 2022 World Cup.

In the 2024 season, Flamengo made eight signings in both windows, in addition to the four most recent, De La Cruz, Léo Ortiz, Matías Viña and Carlinhos arrived to reinforce the red and black squad. According to Mauro Cezar, Mais Querido's signings in recent windows show Mengão's power in South America .

“Flamengo has already caught Boca's goalkeeper, Rossi, and River Plate's star, De La Cruz, paying the fine. Now he hired Alcaraz, who was Racing's standout and was operating in the English market. So it's a really heavy package and fans have to have good expectations and be very satisfied with what was done in the football market in the middle of the year”, said the journalist on his YouTube channel.
