Flamengo has its first meeting due to the renewal of Diego, but faces competition from the MLS | Flemish

The name of the MSL club is kept confidential. Diego and his representatives have already expressed more than once that renewal with Flamengo was a priority. However, in the United States, a long-term financial plan can anticipate the end of marriage.

Flamengo's initial idea is to offer a new 18-month contract until December 2020. Diego has one of the highest salaries in distribution and will be 34 in February. Friday night, after winning the title of the U-17 World Cup, the director of football, Carlos Noval, was brief on the subject, but confirmed the negotiation.

"We are talking to Diego," Noval says without going into details.

Diego's father and businessman, Djair Ribas, landed Thursday night in Rio de Janeiro after being sought after to take care of his son's renewal . After meeting Flamengo's board on Friday at the Urubu nest, he said things were "going on" and reiterated that renewal with Rubro-Negro was a priority.

Diego experienced a period of instability in the second half, when he lost his position within Dorival Júnior. The professional behavior of the jersey 10 during the period pleased Flamengo, the player found his starting position on the field and ended the season in style. However, after the defeat of Athletico, revealed some proposals and did not ensure continuity in 2019 while still giving priority to the Rubro-Negro.

– My goal, if it is to renew, is not to have peace of mind. Being in Flamengo is a challenge. I am very happy here. The right moment will come. I have no reason to look for a club. The proposals have arrived, are official and are on the table, but Flamengo is the priority – said Diego, before going on vacation early December.
