After the serious injury of Pedro, a sea of speculation regarding names, strategies for the course of the season and starting position emerged, and it is important to know what is true in all of this. The agenda within the Nation in recent days is “Martial at Flamengo“, a French striker that the board would be negotiating.
Amidst a sequence of decisions in knockout tournaments, and important games that will define the fight for the Brazilian title, Mengão found itself losing its main player of the season. Despair took over the fans, who demanded quick measures from the board, and according to people inside the club, such as Marcos Braz, this was in fact done.
However, the transfer market is going through a scarce moment , even more so with the end of the window, where only names without a contract can be hired. This is how Martial's name came about, free on the market after nine years at Manchester United.
With years at Manchester United, it was expected that Martial's salary would be high, however, the player would be asking for an exorbitant amount of more than 2 million reais per month to sign with Flamengo. This would have been the main factor that cooled down conversations between the parties and removed the Frenchman from the club.
With one of the only options on the market already practically discarded, it became even clearer that Mengão's focus will be on betting in Gabigol, Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique. Marcos Braz and Spindel, recently in a press conference, made clear the difficulty of hiring someone at the moment, giving very strong signals that the greatest chance is of not signing anyone.
To make the situation even more difficult , Flamengo is racing against time, because this Monday (9), is the last day for a Brasileirão club to sign up a player without a current contract. In other words, the board has less than 24 hours to find a replacement for Pedro.
What is speculation about Martial at FlamengoJust as Marcos Braz reinforced , in an interview with FlaTv last Saturday (7), there is a lot of speculation in moments like this. Despite the names mentioned, no negotiation would be “triggered”, not even Martial's.
Many names would have been offered to Flamengo in recent days. In addition to the Frenchman, Choupo-Mouting, a Cameroonian who played last season for Bayern Munich, would be an opportunity, however, so far there is nothing.
With all this in mind, the Nation is now awaiting the In the next few hours the outcome of this true soap opera, which should have its plot coming to an end, and the protagonist actually defined again as Gabigol.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
