Champions League defender hints at Flamengo move: “Who knows?” | OneFootball

Gabriel Pereira, from Copenhagen (DEN), spoke about transfer rumors to Flamengo

At the end of last year, the name of defender Gabriel Pereira appeared in the Flamengo news. This Tuesday (27), the Copenhagen (DEN) defender had the chance to talk about the situation and did not rule out, one day, wearing the Sacred Mantle.

— I saw a lot of reports, but I didn’t hear anything about it. That’s up to my agent. But I’m happy that a club the size of Flamengo, if they are interested, I’m very happy. We know how big Flamengo is in Brazil and in the world. It’s a sign that my work is being well done, I hope to keep working like this, I hope to keep being noticed by clubs — said Gabriel.

— Who knows, maybe one day I’ll be there? I leave the future open, I don’t have a plan right now. I’ve been working hard to reach the next level, I know that Flamengo is a next level, but I also have opportunities here in Europe and I’m keeping my options open — added the Brazilian, in an interview with TNT Sports.

WHO IS GABRIEL PEREIRA?

The 25-year-old from Rio de Janeiro came up through the youth ranks at Sampaio Corrêa-RJ and was signed, still as a youth player, by Volta Redonda. At the club, in 2021, he made his professional debut. Later, he was loaned out and then sold to Vilafranquense (POR).

At his first club in Europe, Gabriel stood out and was signed by Gil Vicente (POR). Then, in 2024, Copenhagen signed the Rio native for approximately R$ 30 million. In the country, he already has two titles: Danish League and Danish Cup.
