Will Juninho play for Flamengo?
Flamengo is looking for reinforcements in the market, and one of the sectors that needs more attention is the attack, especially after Gabigol’s departure. The Rio team reached an agreement with Juninho, from Qarabag.
Rubro-Negro sent a proposal worth R$31 million. Flamengo’s proposal is more financially advantageous than Sevilla’s, according to Spanish journalist Ramírez Máximo.
According to an update from Spanish journalist Gonzalo Tortosa, Flamengo offered a salary three times higher for the 28-year-old striker and negotiated the striker with Sevilla. The transfer should close in the next few days.
This Sunday (12/01), Rubro-Negro received confirmation from the Azerbaijani club. The attacker should arrive on Monday (13/01) to undergo medical examinations and sign the contract. An agreement must be concluded by 2028. However, regarding the pre-season in the United States, there are few chances of already being present due to the travel documentation.
Flamengo made a proposal of 5 million euros for Juninho from Qarabaq, from Azerbaijan.
The player is 28 years old and had a good 23/24 season with 31 goals in 55 matches. In the current season he has 11 goals in 25 matches.
