“We have to see if he has any off the field problem and only then we can think about negotiations.”
Marcelo Moreno’s father Mauro Martins would support a move to Flamengo, he told MAIS: “It would be good for Marcelo Moreno to join Flamengo, it’s a giant club known in the whole world.”
“If he leaves Grêmio, he will choose Flamengo, I’ll ask him myself to do so, this his preference.”
Mauro Martins also talked about Marcelo Moreno’s squad number if he joins Flamengo, he said: “I don’t see him wearing Zico’s number 10, I want him to wear number 9, like Doval. If he has the same success Doval had at Flamengo, I’ll be very happy.”
