Flamengo is interested in signing Claudinho and made a millionaire offer to Zenit; Marcos Braz revealed details of the deal
O Flamengo will not save to count on claudinho. Even though Marcos Braz has been cautious about negotiating with the Zenit, the club already knows that it will have difficulties to convince the Russians to accept the proposal made by the red-black carioca. According to information on the website “Globo Esporte”, Fla made an offer of R$ 80 million and with the possibility of increasing this amount in case some objectives are achieved.
Also according to the vehicle, Zenit does not seem to be very satisfied with what Flamengo offered to complete the negotiation for Claudinho. That’s because, the amount proposed by the cariocas, if converted into euros, is the same as the Russians disbursed to hire the Red Bull Bragantino midfielder. However, at the time, the quotation was higher, and the deal went for 92 million reais.
Therefore, Zenit expects to receive more than the 80 million reais disbursed to hire Claudinho. Flamengo adopts caution in negotiations and is not concerned with the athlete’s physical condition. It is worth mentioning that he suffered an injury in the friendly game against Fenerbahçe and worried most of the fans who are waiting for this deal. Marcos Braz, last Monday, the 10th, spoke about the midfielder’s situation.
“Keeping the due proportions, it was the same problem that happened to Ayrton Lucas. I don’t know if you remember, but the day before closing, to conclude all the hiring, he had a huge crash. We were asked a lot “Are you going to hire a player who is injured, who doesn’t know the degree of injury”explained the Flamengo manager who also revealed that talks for Claudinho are not advanced.
“It’s not like that, because when situations like this happen, Flamengo’s medical department redoubles attention and care in relation to what is asked for in the exam. Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing that brought the Flamengo player even closer in financial matters, in business matters. It has absolutely nothing. But, regarding the injury, so far, we are not concerned“, he completed.
