Oscar De La Cruz, the talented Uruguayan player, was excited about the prospect of joining the Rio club in 2023. However, River Plate, his current club, refused the idea of releasing him, afraid of strengthening a direct rival in the Copa Libertadores. This left negotiations on hold, but there are good prospects for them to resume in January.
Flamengo demonstrated its commitment to the signing by agreeing to pay the 16 million dollars (equivalent to R$82.5 million) that River Plate was asking. However, Rubro-Negro have one condition - they do not wish to make the full payment in one go, which was a requirement from the Argentines this year.
River Plate's decision not to release De La Cruz for Flamengo is understandable, given the history of rivalry between the two clubs in continental competition. Rubro-Negro, on the other hand, is eager to count on the talents of the Uruguayan player in its squad, believing that he can further strengthen the team.
According to Jorge Nicola, negotiations between the two clubs are expected to resume in early 2023, and the chances of an agreement appear promising. Flamengo's willingness to meet River Plate's financial demands demonstrates their commitment to bringing De La Cruz to Rio de Janeiro. Flamengo's insistence on spreading the payment over time is an understandable strategy, allowing the club to manage its finances more effectively. Furthermore, this approach could be more attractive to River Plate, who may prefer a sustainable revenue inflow.
Uruguayan player De La Cruz could also play an important role in the final decision. His willingness to transfer to Flamengo could be a crucial factor in the negotiations. He may express his desire to join the Rio club, which could influence River Plate's stance.
Ultimately, the negotiations between Flamengo and River Plate are an example of how football involves a complex dance of interests. Historical rivalry and financial issues are just some of the factors at play. However, both clubs have clear motivations to reach an agreement.
Waiting until January to resume negotiations could be beneficial for both parties. This will allow both teams to assess their options and consider the implications of a potential transfer. Patience could be the key to reaching a satisfactory agreement.
Ultimately, the fate of Oscar De La Cruz and his possible transfer to Flamengo remains uncertain. However, negotiations continue, and fans of both clubs eagerly await the outcome of this story.
