Okafor and Nzola targeted by Flamengo after Emerson Royal agreement | OneFootball

Emerson Royal should have his Flamengo medical on Saturday, but the Brazilians also reportedly want his Milan teammate Noah Okafor and Fiorentina striker M’Bala Nzola.

The full-back had been on the verge of a move to Besiktas when Flamengo suddenly dived in and agreed terms instead.

Now it is reported Emerson Royal will fly out tomorrow, to have his medical on Saturday, at which point they can give the all clear for Wesley to complete his €25m plus €5m add-ons move to Roma.

However, Sky Sport Italia report that Flamengo are not done with their Serie A shopping spree, because they are also looking at more signings.

Okafor and Nzola also on Flamengo wish list

Specifically, they are interested in Milan winger Okafor, who has just returned from a six-month loan at Napoli and has also been linked with Bologna and Besiktas.

It is suggested that the Switzerland international is by no means convinced he wants to take the next step of his career in Brazil.

Another potential target within Serie A for Flamengo is Nzola, who is owned by Fiorentina, but was on loan at RC Lens last season.
