Gonzalo Plata publicly spoke out for the first time after Dynamo Moscow withdrew from hiring him from Flamengo. In a statement published on social media, the Ecuadorian striker regretted the collapse of the deal, but dismissed rumors about the possibility of transferring to another club in this transfer window, promising total focus on his return to the red-and-black club.
According to GLOBO's reporting with the player's staff, Plata will return to Brazil this weekend, but not to Rio de Janeiro, and instead to Belém, where the Flamengo delegation arrived on Saturday to face Remo on Sunday, in the Brazilian Championship. Flamengo has not yet confirmed this information.
In the statement, Plata said there was a real possibility of continuing his career at another club, and that he conducted the process with total professionalism, always maintaining respect for all parties involved. He stated that circumstances prevented the transfer from being completed, but reaffirmed his commitment to Flamengo, stating: "We remain together."
