Russian club readying big-money bid for Flamengo’s Matheus Gonçalves | OneFootball

Does Flamengo Intend to Sell Matheus Gonçalves?

Flamengo may have another player leaving. This is because CSKA (RUS) is preparing a millionaire proposal to hire Matheus Gonçalves. Recall that the 19-year-old midfielder was already close to being transferred to Cruzeiro, but the Rubro-Negro rejected the offer from the Minas Gerais team.

Despite the rejection to Cruzeiro, Flamengo has not ruled out selling the midfielder abroad. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the athlete's representatives have already informed the club about the intention of the European team, although specific values have not been disclosed.

What is Matheus Gonçalves' Situation?

The contract of the number 42 player with Mengão runs until the end of 2027. In the current season, under the command of Filipe Luís, the promising athlete had limited participation: only 14 games, two goals scored, and 313 minutes on the field, with an average of 22 minutes per game.

What was Cruzeiro's Proposal?

In early July, Cruzeiro presented a proposal of 3.5 million euros (R$ 22 million at the exchange rate) for 50% of Matheus Gonçalves' rights. However, the talks did not advance, and the creation of the Flamengo categories remained in the club.

Will Matheus Gonçalves Play in Flamengo's Next Match?

With Matheus Gonçalves available, Flamengo's squad is preparing for the next games of the season. This is because the Rubro-Negro team takes to the field this Thursday (31), against Atlético-MG, at 21:30 (Brasília time), in a match valid for the Copa do Brasil.
