HOW LONG WILL THE CONTRACT BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND EMERSON ROYAL BE?

After rumors of a possible loan offer, Flamengo decided to acquire Emerson Royal's rights definitively. In this way, the red and black management will pay 9 million euros (approximately R$ 58 million) for the right-back. In addition, the player will sign a contract with Mengão valid for three and a half years, until December 2028.

WAS THE NEGOTIATION CALM FOR FLAMENGO?

Flamengo had to 'cross a mountain' to secure Emerson Royal's signing. This is because Milan had advanced talks to loan the right-back to Besikstas (TUR), including a purchase option of 10 million euros (R$ 65 million). However, the red and black interest 'swayed' the Brazilian, who is preparing to wear the Sacred Mantle.

WHEN WILL EMERSON ROYAL BE PRESENTED?

Since Emerson Royal has not yet signed the contract, Flamengo has not defined a date for the presentation of the right-back. However, the expectation is that, if the contract is confirmed this Saturday (26), the player will attend the Maracanã and meet the Red and Black Nation on Sunday (27), before the classic against Atlético-MG, in the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship.
