Tite expressed his desire to have the midfielder
In search of market opportunities and aiming to strengthen international ties, Marcos Braz is paying attention to the contractual situation of Thiago Alcântara, a 33-year-old player in the final stages of his contract with Liverpool.
The interest gains strength when considering that coach Tite himself expressed his desire to have the midfielder in his ranks, as revealed by journalist Julio Miguel Neto.
However, despite the opening for negotiations, Flamengo adopts a cautious stance regarding the possible agreement with Thiago Alcântara.
The player faced a series of injuries in the 2023 season, raising concerns about his clinical and physical state, factors that must be carefully considered before Rubro-Negro advances in negotiations.
Details of Marcos Braz’s trip to Europe
Marcos Braz traveled accompanied by Flamengo’s executive director of football, Bruno Spindel. The first stop will be in Portugal, where the pair will make a sort of base before heading to Spain.
On Portuguese soil, the duo plans a meeting with Mazinho, former player and father/manager of Thiago Alcântara.
The player, whose contract with Liverpool ends on June 30, can now sign a pre-contract with another club free of charge.
