The Uruguayan is in the sights of the Argentine team for the June transfer window
|
Flamengo players are becoming more valued in the market with each passing day, no wonder they always receive inquiries from European and South American clubs. This time, it was Boca Juniors who showed interest in the Uruguayan wizard: De Arrascaeta.
The Argentine team has not been experiencing one of its best moments in history, after all, they have not won a Libertadores since 2007 and are not classified for the edition of competition in 2024. Therefore, according to information from the Argentine newspaper "TYC Sports", the Buenos Aires team intends to invest heavily in the mid-year transfer window to have Arrascaeta, the team's big dream.
Also according to the website, Boca Juniors is also targeting the signing of Lucas Torreira, a Uruguayan, with spells at Arsenal (ING), Atlético de Madrid (ESP), Fiorentina (ITA) and now at Galatasaray (TUR). However, the contractual issue is the major obstacle in the attempt to sign Arrascaeta and his fellow countryman, as both have contracts with their respective clubs until 2026.
“The Football Council tends to have the habit of plan for the long term. He doesn't bring players for the sake of bringing them, even if he needs to cover some sectors, but rather thinks about important names that could give an extra level of hierarchy to the group in the future. And De Arrascaeta's, along with Torreira's, who has already said that playing for Boca 'would be the biggest dream', is one of the most pleasing before the mid-year transfer window”, says TYC Sports. p>COULD PROPOSAL PLEASE ARRASCAETA?
TYC Sports recalled a recent joke by Arrascaeta on social media that had a huge impact in Argentina. Associating the Uruguayan with Boca Juniors. At the time, a follower commented on the publication: “Peñarol e Boca, yeah, my friend?” Then, the Flamengo star replied: “Of course.”
TERMINATION FINEThe Uruguayan wizard from Mais Querido has a contract with the club until December 2026 and a termination fine of 50 million ( R$270 million). In this way, Rubro Negro is calm in relation to a possible offer, as the amounts should be lower than the fine for shirt 14.

One of Flamengo's idols of this generation, Arrascaeta continues to make history at the club. His first team in Brazil was Cruzeiro. Current captain of the Minas Gerais team, Argentine Lucas Romero met with the Uruguayan and invited the star to return to the Belo Horizonte team.
"I managed to go to Rio and we went out for dinner. I stayed I spent some time with him remembering his time here at Cruzeiro, which was really cool. I told him if he wanted to come back here to BH, that we have open arms, he's fine there, he's happy. said Lucas Romero, after meeting with Arrascaeta this week.
Lucas Romero and Arrascaeta have already played together at Cruzeiro from 2016 to 2018. winning some titles, such as the Copa do Brasil in 2017 and 2018, as well as two Minas Gerais Championship. Soon after, the athletes went their separate ways. The Uruguayan signed with Mais Querido in 2019, while the Argentine went to Independiente (ARG), Léon (MEX) and returned to the Minas Gerais team in 2024.
To take Arrascaeta away from Mais Querido, the negotiation would not be simple. This is because the Uruguayan midfielder has a contract with Rubro-Negro until December 2026 and a termination fine valued at 50 million euros (R$309 million). Recently, some teams, such as Boca Juniors, even probed the situation of the number 14.
"As long as I'm there, Arrascaeta won't even come out of nowhere. And I think he's happy at Flamengo, we always try to talk , creating a good environment. We really like him, as well as everyone there. It's a family, a very good environment and Tite is very good at it", said Flamengo's president, Rodolfo Landim, in a recent interview with ' Charla Podcast'.

Gabigol, Arrascaeta and De la Cruz are not yet training with the ball, but they have a chance of returning in time.
Gabigol is the one who has been out the longest: he injured his right thigh on August 15, in 2-0 victory over Bolívar at Maracanã, and has been undergoing treatment ever since. Three days later, it was Arrascaeta's turn to feel a problem in his left thigh in the 4-1 defeat suffered against Botafogo at Nilton Santos. And De la Cruz injured his right thigh on the 28th, in the 1-0 win over Bahia at Fonte Nova.
De la Cruz's injury was light and has a recovery period of two to three weeks. Against Bahia next Thursday, there will be exactly two weeks of treatment.
