Flamengo defender reveals what he wants next: “Brazil call-up and…” | OneFootball

Flamengo will have a center-back at the World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico

The sky is the limit for Léo Pereira. That’s because the center-back not only wants to perform well for Flamengo. The defender also wants to be a standout with the Brazil national team for many years.

— I’m clear in my mind that I want to keep improving, maintaining consistency because that’s what takes me to the places I’ve dreamed of: the national team and titles. You have to have that ambition to make history at Flamengo, I want to achieve more. I want to keep up the consistency I’ve had for some time now — highlighted Léo Pereira

When did Léo Pereira arrive at Flamengo?

Flamengo announced the signing of Léo Pereira in January 2020 from Athletico-PR. As a result, the Most Beloved paid 6 million euros (R$ 27.7 million at the exchange rate at the time) to sign the center-back, who was 23 years old.

Thus, the defender’s first call-up came during the last FIFA international window before the 2026 World Cup. The player received praise from the Brazil national team coach. Therefore, there is a chance that Danilo and Léo Pereira will go to the World Cup.

When is the center-back’s next match?

With Léo Pereira available, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. That’s because the red-and-black team faces Vasco this Sunday (03), at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Maracanã, in the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship.
