Part 4/8:
The contrast between Everton’s struggles and Flamengo's lack of transparency in their dealings also came to light. Flamengo's negotiation strategy of securing a player on loan with a commitment to buy was perceived as a missed opportunity to negotiate more favorable terms. There were unanswered questions regarding the player’s medical evaluations and what would happen if he didn’t meet performance targets. The lack of clarity from Flamengo sparked calls for greater transparency concerning negotiations, illustrating a broader issue within football clubs about communication with fans and the media.
