Reports indicate that Flamengo has initiated talks with Tottenham, expressing their interest in bringing Royal back to Brazil. Despite Royal’s potential openness to a move to his home country, the financial aspect poses a significant challenge.
Tottenham’s initial investment in Royal was around £26m, and his current wages are substantial, figures that Brazilian clubs might find hard to match. This situation creates a complex dynamic for Flamengo as they navigate the possibility of acquiring a player of Royal’s caliber.
