Former Flamengo target joins Spanish side | OneFootball

Lucas Beltrán signed with Valencia (ESP) on a one-season loan

The transfer window in Europe closed this Monday (01), and clubs were busy behind the scenes to finalize pending deals. Thus, Valencia (ESP) secured the signing of striker Lucas Beltrán, formerly of Fiorentina (ITA), who was also targeted by Flamengo.

According to journalist César Luis Merlo, Lucas Beltrán signed with Valencia on loan until June of next year. The Spanish team will not have a purchase option for the striker. In the end, the player chose Spain and ignored interest from Lyon (FRA) during this period.

WAS BELTRÁN A TARGET FOR FLAMENGO?

Flamengo tried to sign Lucas Beltrán during the transfer window. The red-and-black team was willing to pay 15 million euros (R$ 95 million at the time's exchange rate) to sign the striker. However, the player chose to remain in Europe and ignored the possibility of returning to South America.

According to an investigation by Coluna do Fla, Flamengo's idea was to sign a center-forward with similar characteristics to Pedro. The red-and-black team was looking for players who could play in several positions due to the long Brazilian football calendar.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

Thus, Flamengo did not sign Lucas Beltrán and is not expected to sign a new player for the position before the transfer window closes this Tuesday (02). O Mais Querido remains focused on its upcoming commitments and will only play again on September 14, against Juventude, away from home.
