Brazilian in Europe on Flamengo approach: "I want to experience this..." | OneFootball

Tetê is 25 years old and is currently at Panathinaikos, Greece

Flamengo sounded out the signing of forward Tetê, currently at Panathinaikos (GRE), during the last transfer window. The midfielder himself confirmed the information by revealing that he was approached by four clubs from the country. In addition, he emphasized his desire to return to Brazil.

— I do want to return to Brazil. Yes, I get approached a lot; so far, in this window, Flamengo, Botafogo, Fluminense, Cruzeiro… I want to experience this, I haven’t played professionally in Brazil yet — the player began.

“I definitely want to live that experience, but I’m also very happy here in Europe,” concluded the Brazilian Tetê, in an interview with ‘Cartoloucos’. As a result, his statement generated a buzz among Flamengo fans on social media.

WHO IS TETÊ?

Tetê was developed by Grêmio, but was quickly transferred to European football. The midfielder was bought by Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) in 2019. Soon after, he played for teams such as Lyon (FRA), Leicester (ENG), and Galatasaray (TUR), before arriving at Panathinaikos.

WHO DID FLAMENGO SIGN?

Despite their interest in Tetê, Flamengo opened their wallet in the last transfer window. The rubro-negro team went to the market and signed players like Samuel Lino and Jorge Carrascal, who play in the attacking sector, just like the Panathinaikos midfielder.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, while the transfer window is closed, Flamengo is focusing on the next fixtures of the season. The rubro-negro team faces Cruzeiro this Thursday (02), at Maracanã, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), for the Brasileirão.
