Flamengo is taking great strides to announce the signing of Nicolas De La Cruz, a 26-year-old Uruguayan midfielder who is still a River Plate player today. According to what we found out, the player has already signed a contract with Flamengo, which will only become valid when payment of the fine is deposited with River Plate, the current holder of the athlete’s federative rights.

While Marcos Braz dedicated himself 100% to this negotiation, Bruno Spindel led the talks with RedBull Bragantino to sign defender Léo Ortiz. The Bragança team from São Paulo still had expectations that a European club would try to sign the defender and thus not reinforce a direct rival in the Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil and Libertadores de América in 2024. Monaco and Galatasaray appeared among those interested in the athlete, but Léo Ortiz himself intervened with Bragantino, requesting that he negotiate with Flamengo, who, upon confirming the payment with River Plate, will immediately take care of ending the negotiation with the São Paulo team.

In recent days, Flamengo began conversations with Gustavo Scarpa, formerly of Fluminense and Palmeiras, sold to Nottinham Forest and now on loan to Olympiacos in Greece. The 29-year-old player was initially reluctant to return to Brazil and his wife wanted to stay in Europe for a while longer. However, the professional proposal presented by Flamengo in preliminary conversations with the player’s staff convinced him and his family that the best thing for them would be to return to Brazil to play for Fla. Atlético-MG and Internacional tried to sign the player, but the athlete refused the career project models that the clubs presented. Gustavo Scarpa, midfielder for Nottingham Forest-INGDisclosure
The directors of Nottinham Forest, who also own Olympiacos, want the player to leave, to free up space on the payroll due to the Financial Far Play that exists in Europe.
Scarpa was not pleased and has already realized that he will not have space in the teams for next season. Complete information about Gustavo Scarpa throughout his careerYoutube channel Resenha Rubro-Negra

With this, the player gave Flamengo the green light to begin negotiations with the English club.

Therefore, Flamengo can, by the end of the year, present 3 major reinforcements to the red-and-black nation: Nicolas De La Cruz, Léo Ortiz and Gustavo Scarpa.

It remains to be seen whether there will be developments that will lead these negotiations to have more chapters and become red-and-black soap operas.
