Flamengo announce new deal for Pedro | OneFootball

Pedro Henrique, former Paysandu player, is Flamengo’s new signing

Flamengo continues strengthening its youth ranks. This Friday (17), the Rubro-Negro introduced 18-year-old Pedro Henrique, who had been with Paysandu. The transfer is the biggest in the history of the Pará club, earning R$ 3.04 million for the team from Belém.

“Flamengo has completed the signing of defensive midfielder Pedro Henrique, previously under contract with Paysandu (PA), as another reinforcement for the under-20 squad. In an agreement with the player and Paysandu regarding the payment of the compensation clause (release clause), the player arrived at CT George Helal this Friday (17), where he got to know the Ninho do Urubu facilities, underwent medical examinations, and signed a three-year contract,” Flamengo announced in a statement.

WHAT TWISTS TOOK PLACE IN THE SIGNING?

Last month, Flamengo made an offer for Pedro Henrique, but the youngster was unhappy to learn that he would be part of Rubro-Negro’s under-20 team. Currently, the player is an undisputed starter for Paysandu’s first team, which won the Campeonato Paraense and is competing in Brazil’s Série C.

In addition, Pedro Henrique was on the radar of clubs in Portugal and wanted to move to European football. However, Flamengo managed to convince the player, opened the possibility of loaning him to Paysandu until the end of the year, and succeeded in signing him.

HOW IS PEDRO HENRIQUE DOING AT PAYSANDU?

With Paysandu’s senior team since the end of last year, Pedro Henrique has made 17 appearances for the first team, scoring two goals. As he will remain on loan with the Pará club, Flamengo fans will be able to root for the youngster next Tuesday (21), when the club faces Vasco in the Copa do Brasil.
