Dario Conca set to return to Shanghai SIPG after loan spell with Flamengo

Argentine midfielder Dario Conca has been set to return to Shanghai SIPG after a loan spell with Brazilian giants Flamengo.

After spending two seasons with Shanghai SIPG, the 33-year-old signed a one-year loan with Flamengo earlier this year.

According to Globo.com, Conca’s representatives confirmed Conca would return to China later this month amid speculations that the attacking midfielder would join his former club Fluminense in 2018.

“On Wednesday he trained with Flamengo for the last time,” Conca’s agent Marcos Motta stated on Globo.

“He already has his bags packed and will return to Shanghai SIPG on December 27,” he added.

Conca has been contracted to the Chinese Super League club until December 2018.
