Flamengo executive director Rodrigo Caetano has confirmed the club are interested in signing Ezequiel Lavezzi, but an agreement is "a long way" off.
The Argentine's contract at Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of the season, with the Brazilian club, Barcelona and Juventus all linked to his signature.
According to Caetano, Flamengo has made contact with the player's representatives but there has been no movement toward a deal.
"It is true there was a meeting, but one more because his return to South American football has been suggested," he told SporTV.
"According to his representatives, among the teams he would like to play for, one is Flamengo. But to become viable we have a long way.
