Flamengo's director of football Luiz Augusto Veloso has confirmed that the club have had a meeting with Vagner Love and his representatives, but that it was to resolve outstanding debts that they owe the player, and not to negotiate the permanent transfer of the striker back to Brazil.

Love spent seven months on loan in his homeland between January and July 2010 from parent club CSKA Moscow, but has returned to Russia since.

Goal.com Brazil reports that the Brazilian club owe the player as much as $700,000, and Veloso confirmed the meeting with Love was to resolve this debt.

"Love was in Brazil and we had scheduled this meeting with his manager. He took it and asked to join in the conversations as well. The meeting agenda was a debt that Flamengo still has with the athlete," he stated.

GloboEsporte comments that the two parties have reached an agreement to pay the money in several installments over the course of the year. The striker travelled home during the international break solely to solve the financial dispute but refuses to rule out a move back to Flamengo in the future.

"I came to discuss the financial situation with the president. As for the future, who knows, maybe I will play for Flamengo again but I have a contract with CSKA until 2014," said Vagner Love.
