Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market and is still looking for names to strengthen the squad before the window closes. Thus, striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, top scorer of the Serbian national team, should leave Al Hilal (SAU) and become a free agent.
This is because Al Hilal plans to dispense with Mitrovic due to the number of foreigners in the squad for the next season. Jorge Jesus' former club opened its wallet to sign Uruguayan Darwin Núñez, ex-Liverpool (ING). However, to finalize the termination, the Saudis will have to pay the fine.
Aleksandar Mitrovic emerged very young at Anderlecht (BEL), where he caught the attention of the main clubs in England. In 2015, the center-forward was hired by Newcastle (ING) and later transferred to Fulham (ING). Finally, he arrived at Al Hilal in 2023.
In the current squad, Flamengo has two center-forwards, like Mitrovic: Pedro and Juninho. The first lost space in the team commanded by Filipe Luís. The second did not fall into the graces of the fans and may leave the Most Beloved in case of an official proposal.
In addition, Flamengo spent around R$ 280 million on new players in the current transfer window. This is because the red-black team hired Saúl Ñíguez and Samuel Lino, both ex-Atlético de Madrid (ESP), Emerson Royal, ex-Milan (ITA), and Jorge Carrascal, ex-Dynamo Moscow (RUS).
