The transfer of Ecuadorian winger Gonzalo Plata to Dynamo Moscow, in Russia, ultimately failed after the player failed the medical exams of the Russian club. Plata, who is a former Sporting player, was close to completing the move to Russian football.
After the failed negotiation with Dynamo Moscow, Gonzalo Plata is now returning to Brazil. The player was representing Flamengo, the Brazilian club he was playing for, and will return to his country after failing the medical exams.
Flamengo publicly expressed its displeasure with the situation, criticizing what it considered to be «amateurism» on the part of Dynamo Moscow in the negotiation process. The Brazilian club showed dissatisfaction with how the transfer negotiation unfolded.
Gonzalo Plata, 23 years old, came to Flamengo from Sporting CP, where he stood out before heading to Brazilian football. The transfer to Russia would have represented a significant change in the Ecuadorian player's career, which ultimately did not materialize.
