Bahia and European clubs eye Flamengo defender signing | OneFootball

Iago played in two matches in the current Flamengo season

Flamengo continues its planning for the start of the 2026 season, which began last Sunday (11). Amidst this, the red-black team received offers for the young defender Iago, a standout from the club's under-20 team.

According to information from the portal ‘UOL’, Bahia is interested in signing Iago from Flamengo. Additionally, clubs from Italy and England have made offers to close a deal for the young 20-year-old defender.

The player's agents are awaiting the arrival of President Luiz Eduardo Baptista in Brazil so that the situation can be resolved by the parties. The tendency is that the sale of the defender Iago will be finalized by Mengão.

WHAT IS IAGO'S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Despite being a standout in Flamengo's youth categories, Iago has received few opportunities at the red-black club. This is because, in the past season, he played in only one match under the command of Filipe Luís.

In the current season, Iago participated in two games for Flamengo. The red-black team has been using the under-20 squad at the start of the Campeonato Carioca. The defender even scored a goal against Portuguesa-RJ, in a 1-1 draw in the debut.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, with Iago available, Flamengo is preparing to face Volta Redonda this Saturday (17), at the Raulino de Oliveira Stadium. The red-black team will face the rival at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), in a match valid for the Campeonato Carioca.
