LÉO JARDIM, VASCO GOALKEEPER, PROJECTS A CONFRONTATION AGAINST FLAMENGO: "WE ARE VERY CONFIDENT"

Flamengo and Lazio advanced in negotiations to sign midfielder Marcos Antônio. The player, who has already accepted the Rio club's offer, should be signed on loan with an obligation to buy if certain goals are achieved. However, there are still disagreements regarding the triggers and final values ​​of the operation, according to information from the GE website.

It is agreed that Flamengo will pay an amount for the one-year loan, which will be deducted if the club opts to definitively purchase the player. . The figures for the definitive purchase are being discussed, with expectations of values ​​between 5 and 6 million euros, in addition to bonuses.

The main divergence between the clubs is in the clause that obliges Flamengo to buy the player if he participates in 50% of the games during the loan period. Flamengo and Lazio are still debating what the definition of participation in games will be: whether it will only count appearance, ownership, or the number of minutes played (45 or 90 minutes on the field).

Flamengo prefers that the purchase trigger be related to ownership or the condition of the player playing for 90 minutes. If the goal is not met, the purchase option will be the choice of the Rio club. Despite the impasse, Flamengo is confident that it will find a satisfactory agreement with Lazio and will have Marcos Antônio as a reinforcement in the next transfer window.

Marcos Antônio, 24 years old, is a creation of Athletico-PR's youth teams and a contemporary of Vini Jr in the youth teams. The midfielder has spent time at Estoril, in Portugal, and Shakhtar Donetsk, in Ukraine. He was bought by Lazio in 2023 and loaned to PAOK, from Greece, last season, where he was national champion.
