Peñarol‑Flamengo loan negotiations for de la Cruz

Entities: Flamengo · Nicolás de la Cruz · Ignacio Ruglio · Leonardo Jardim · Peñarol

Overview

In late July 2026, Uruguayan club Peñarol began formal discussions to bring midfielder Nicolás de la Cruz back from Brazil’s Flamengo on a one‑year loan without a purchase option. Peñarol sent a letter of intent and had been negotiating for about 25 days, while Flamengo had not yet issued an official response.

A few days later, Flamengo rejected Peñarol’s initial proposal, deeming the suggested salary‑share arrangement unacceptable given the more than R$ 102 million investment in the player. The club’s refusal stalled the talks, leaving the midfielder’s future uncertain as the transfer window progressed. Peñarol indicated it would submit a revised offer.
