Flamengo still waiting on Juventus

29 Juni 2012 05:46

Flamengo director Zinho says the club have not yet received any offers from Juventus for midfielder Thomas.

Brazilian sources claim that FIFA agent Mario Miele was in Rio de Janeiro earlier in the week with a representative from the Italian club to initiate talks for the 19-year-old.

Zinho claims that Flamengo are ready to listen to offers for Thomas, but insisted that he has not yet heard from the Serie A champions.

"No official offer has so far arrived from Juventus for Thomas," he told Lancenet.

"If it arrives, we will discuss between all involved parties what will be done."

Thomas, a Brazil Under-20 international, has an Italian passport after a short stint at Roma before moving to Flamengo in 2008.
