Flamengo races against time to close its combo of reinforcements for the current transfer window in Brazilian football. Until the 2nd of August, the Clubs will be able to enroll their new players and Mengão has defined its priorities to negotiate.

However, the direction of Gávea made a quick and important move to close with one of his main targets in the football market. This Monday (24), the ‘soap opera Wendel’ gained news and Zenit finally received an official offer to release the midfielder.

According to the Globo Esporte portal, Mais Querido offered around 13 million euros (R$ 67 million at current exchange rates) for 100% of the midfielder’s economic rights and expects a position from the Russian club.

The expectation is that the deal will move forward, since optimism hovers behind the scenes at Red-Blacks. Wendel’s manager unlocked the impasses. The first move was for a loan, but Zenit only accepts a definitive negotiation. With the difficulties in hiring Claudinho, also from Zenit, Mengão increased the bar and made the proposal to close permanently with Wendel.

Gávea’s mission is to close as quickly as possible and register Wendel for the Libertadores round of 16, so he has until next weekend to complete the transfer. Flamengo knows that Zenit asked Palmeiras for 20 million euros, with that, it is even studying an increase in its own offer if the 13 million are not accepted by the Russians.
