Flamengo advances through Wendel, and now tries to convince Zenit

O Flamengo managed to advance a little more in the expectation of hiring the steering wheel Wendelof Zenit, in this transfer window. After meeting with the player’s staff, and accepting the proposed terms, he now waits for the athlete’s agents to try to convince the Russian club for a release.

Despite not hiding the desire to return to play in Brazilian football, Wendel will not have an ultimatum conversation with his current club. The player did not show up for Zenit’s pre-season due to family problems, including the death of close relatives.

“He is a Zenit player and must be available. Our players play their roles with pleasure and we hope he does the same. It is necessary to pay attention to your family problems. He lost his aunt, he lost his grandfather. We have to value him as a human being“, stated the president of the club, Medvedev.

Flamengo’s leadership knows that the most difficult task will be to convince Zenit, which has already turned down proposals from clubs like Corinthians It is palm trees in this current window, and will play hardball for release. The international press estimates that the offer from Rio could reach around 20 million euros, although nothing has been confirmed so far.

In addition to the flywheel, claudinho is another Zenit player who has the club’s interest. Unlike Wendel, the attacking midfielder is related to the team’s next match, where he should be in the starting lineup. In talks for a longer time for the signing, Mengão has already offered 18 million euros for the athlete, but has not received a response released so far.
