Andrew arrives: goalkeeper lands in Rio de Janeiro to sign for Flamengo | OneFootball

Ex-Gil Vicente (POR), Andrew arrived in Rio de Janeiro on the night of this Tuesday (13)

The second reinforcement for Flamengo this season, Andrew is already in Rio de Janeiro for medical examinations and contract signing. The goalkeeper, who came from Gil Vicente (POR), Portugal, spoke briefly with the press present at Galeão International Airport on the night of this Tuesday (13).

“I was happy with this moment (with Filipe Luís and José Boto watching the Gil Vicente game in person). This shows the effort of Flamengo's scouting team in seeking a player in Portugal,” the player said briefly upon leaving the airport. Fans and the press were present to witness the arrival.

WHAT IS NEEDED FOR ANDREW TO BE ANNOUNCED BY FLAMENGO?

Andrew will report to the Ninho do Urubu Training Center on Wednesday morning (14) for medical examinations. Immediately afterward, if everything goes as planned, without any changes, the goalkeeper will sign a four-year contract with the Rubro-Negro.

HOW MUCH WILL FLAMENGO PAY GIL VICENTE FOR ANDREW?

Flamengo offered 1.5 million euros (approximately R$ 9.4 million) plus 10% of a future sale for the immediate release of Andrew. The Portuguese club accepted the offer and released the goalkeeper to sign with the Rubro-Negro.

WHY DID FLAMENGO SIGN A GOALKEEPER?

The position was a need for Flamengo after Matheus Cunha left for Cruzeiro. This is because, besides Agustín Rossi, Mengão only has young players for the position, like Dyogo Alves and Léo Nannetti. Therefore, Fla decided to bet on Andrew, who had been standing out in Portuguese football.
