Gonzalo Plata traveled to Russia to complete his move to Dinamo Moscow, posed in the club’s shirt and then saw the transfer collapse after failing the required medical examinations.
Flamengo said Tuesday that the operation had been canceled after the Moscow club reviewed the results of Plata’s physical evaluations. The 25-year-old Ecuadorian had received permission from Flamengo to travel, undergo the tests and sign his new contract.
Plata will return to Flamengo training during the week. He had been a regular participant for the Brazilian club and remained available to the coaching staff for most matches, despite suffering right-knee tendinitis during the second half of the season and missing two games.
Flamengo did not disclose the proposed contract’s details or value. Press reports put the transfer at 10 million euros. Dinamo Moscow, coached by Portuguese manager Leonardo Jardim, announced the signings of two forwards on Tuesday: 19-year-old Argentine Joaquín Freitas and 23-year-old Ecuadorian Anthony Valencia.
