Flamengo in Brazil showed interest in M'Bala Nzola, exploring the possibility of a transfer. However, despite Flamengo's interest, M'Bala Nzola ultimately decided to join Pisa. The Brazilian club had only probed the situation, while Pisa made a decisive move, securing Nzola on a loan deal valued between 500,000 and 600,000 euros, with an option to buy set at 6 million euros. Fiorentina, Nzola's parent club, retains a buy-back clause priced at 1.5 million euros, ensuring they can monitor his progress closely.
