Flamengo interested in signing William Carvalho

Flamengo are interested in securing the services of midfielder William Carvalho, offering around three million euros to the Spanish club, apart from the savings on the Portuguese's wage bill, which is one of the highest in Manuel Pellegrini's squad.

The transfer market in Brazil is still open until Thursday 7 March, so it is entering its final stretch and there could be quite a few changes in the coming hours. The Andalusian club have not received any offers from Flamengo for the moment, although they remind us that the borders in Brazil are open until Thursday.

William Carvalho has been on the exit ramp at Real Betis for several windows, where he has lost his starting place, although on Sunday he was the team's most outstanding player in the defeat against Atletico at the Metropolitano, where he came on in the second half in place of Rodri to play ahead of the returning Guido Rodriguez and Johnny.
