How Does Varela Think About the Future at Flamengo?


Guillermo Varela is going through a good phase and is one of the trusted men of coach Filipe Luís at Flamengo. Despite this situation, the Uruguayan has not ruled out leaving the Rubro-Negro and, moreover, has not hidden his dream of ending his career at Peñarol (URU).

— I have a contract for two more years at Flamengo. Of course, I would like to end my career at Peñarol, but I don't know what tomorrow will bring. I am clear that I will spend two years here and that's it. As a Peñarol fan, I played there when I was young, I don't have that internal obligation — he said, before concluding:

— It might be that in two years I renew, it's an open thing. When we meet, we project, but careers are completely different. The moments, today we are here and tomorrow we don't know. It would be very easy to reassure the fans by saying that we will go, but I prefer to leave it open — concluded Varela to 'El Espectador Deportes, from Uruguay'.

WHAT IS VARELA'S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

It is important to emphasize that even with this statement, Varela made it very clear his desire to fulfill the contract for two more years with Flamengo. In other words, the right-back will continue his bond for two more seasons with the Rubro-Negro.

This season, Varela has managed to improve his performance and, as a result, became the starting right-back for Flamengo. Due to his good performances with the Sacred Mantle, the athlete has been present in the latest calls for the Uruguayan National Team.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

With Varela available, Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (13) to face Pyramids (EGY) in the Intercontinental semifinal. The match kicks off at 2 PM (Brasília time) in Doha, Qatar.

Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, brings the match details with on-site coverage by Simon Lédo on YouTube, in addition to the website and social media. Finally, Rede Globo (open channel), SporTV (closed), CazéTV, and GETV (YouTube) will broadcast the game.
