Part 4/7:
The second key topic of discussion involves Claudinho, whose potential move to Flamengo remains uncertain. The club has reportedly submitted a proposal of €16.5 million, including bonuses, although Zenit St. Petersburg's initial asking price was around €20 million. Media reports suggested that €18 million might be a compromise figure, but negotiations have proven complex.
The deal's viability hinges on several factors, including the terms of payment and the ongoing contract Claudinho holds with Zenit. The Russian club is affluent and not in urgent need to sell him, complicating matters further. Claudinho appears interested in a move back to Brazil, but his actual transfer remains up in the air.
