Part 4/8:
The transfer had previously been reported as an agreed-upon deal worth €8 million for 80% of Loran's economic rights, with the other 30% owned by Madureira and Flamengo retaining 20%. This deal seemed favorable, but it quickly unraveled when CSKA Moscow reportedly wanted Loran to travel before formalizing the signatures, potentially to renegotiate terms once he was in Russia.
Perspectives on the Deal
As the drama unfolded, opinions on whether Flamengo had made the right call were mixed. There are those who felt letting go of a young player after just a few standout performances at a relatively low fee was a misstep. Others posited that Flamengo's decision underscored their strategic approach in player development and associated valuations.
