On Tuesday, the Brazilian press leaked the information. FC Nantes management is looking to recruit Flamengo's young center-forward, Lincoln Correa Dos Santos, known as “Lincoln”. Information confirmed by 20 Minutes . The 19-year-old player's profile has been validated by coach Christian Gourcuff.
After going through the Flamengo training center, Lincoln made his professional debut at the age of 17, but has been slow to confirm the high hopes placed in him since. Last season he compiled 3 goals and 2 assists with Flamengo in just six league starts. Lincoln finally stood out above all in the Brazilian youth team (4 goals in 11 U20 games and 9 in 18 U17 games).
No agreement on the amount of the purchase option
Negotiations began ten days ago between the various parties. They relate to a loan with an option to purchase. For the time being, FC Nantes cannot agree with Flamengo on the amount of the purchase option. Waldemar Kita would offer 5 million euros, Flamengo, who is not opposed to a departure from his element, would like more (10 million euros?). According to Globo Esporte , Mouscron and the City Football Group have also made an offer for a loan. In the meantime, Lincoln, who is under contract until 2023, has already made it known that he was eager to join the banks of the Erdre. Will this be enough?
In addition, Anton Mitryushkin, 24-year-old Russian goalkeeper on trial at Jonelière (in reserve last week and with the pros at the start of the week), will not be retained. He has to leave this Wednesday.
