Celebrate, Nation! After a brief ‘soap opera’, Flamengo announced the signing of Lucas Paquetá this Wednesday (28). Thus, the red-black fans are preparing yet another AeroFla to welcome the new player of Mengão.
Lucas Paquetá will board in England, heading to Rio de Janeiro, this Wednesday (28). Therefore, the expectation is that the new signing for Mengão will arrive in the ‘Marvelous City’ around 10:40 am (Brasília time) on Thursday (29). With that, the red-black fans promise to show up in force to welcome the midfielder.
Flamengo is ‘racing against time’ to register Lucas Paquetá in the CBF’s Daily Registration Bulletin (BID). At this moment, the desire of the Rubro-Negro is for the midfielder to debut next Sunday (01), in the match against Corinthians, for the Supercopa do Brasil.
After long weeks of negotiations, Flamengo reached an agreement with West Ham (ENG) to sign Lucas Paquetá. Thus, to bring back the Cria do Ninho, Rubro-Negro will pay 42 million euros (R$ 260 million) for a five-year contract.
Of the 42 million euros (R$ 260 million) agreed upon, Flamengo will pay 15.25 million euros (about R$ 94.545) up front to West Ham. In addition, the remainder (26.75 million euros, that is, R$ 165.84 million) will be paid in four installments until 2028.
Meanwhile, Flamengo is preparing for the next fixture of the season, against São Paulo. The match takes place at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at MorumBIS, for the first round of the Brasileirão.
Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and São Paulo, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (broadcast TV), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
