Flamengo Could Lose a Copa Libertadores Champion — Where Is He Headed?
Right as Flamengo prepare to play the Intercontinental Cup Final, the Mengão could part ways with a key player — one who may follow in the footsteps of Sergio Ramos and James Rodríguez
Just as Flamengo compete in the Intercontinental Cup Final, the Mengão could be set to part ways with one of their Copa Libertadores–winning players — Juninho.
Flamengo defeated Pyramids FC in the Intercontinental Cup semifinals, but reports now suggest the Brazilian giants may lose a key piece from the squad.
Is Juninho Following the Path of Sergio Ramos and James Rodríguez?
According to journalist César Merlo, Brazilian forward Juninho is set to leave the Copa Libertadores champions to join Pumas UNAM in Liga MX, a club that recently made headlines with the brief signing of Aaron Ramsey.
In recent years, Liga MX has attracted high-profile names such as Sergio Ramos, Sergio Canales, and James Rodríguez, who is once again a free agent.
How Much Will Pumas Pay Flamengo for Juninho?
The 28-year-old striker made just over 30 appearances for Flamengo after arriving from Qarabag of Azerbaijan.
According to Merlo, Pumas will pay $5 million for the Brazilian forward, who scored 40 goals during his time with Qarabag.
