Flamengo seal signing of Fortaleza player | OneFootball

New Reinforcement of Flamengo Will Be Part of the Under-17 Team

The ‘Bap management’ closed the first signing for the under-17 category. Last Thursday (14), Flamengo agreed to the acquisition of Isaac Gomes, 16 years old. The striker was at Fortaleza, and the Rubro-Negro invested R$ 800,000 for 70% of the rights.

Although he is in the base of Fortaleza, Isaac Gomes is from Rio de Janeiro, but moved to Junco do Seridó, Paraíba, at a young age. Later, he faced family difficulties and managed to draw attention in football with the shirt of Grêmio Recreativo Pague Menos (GRPM/Tirol). The information is from Guilherme ‘FlaZoeiro’s page, in partnership with ‘FlaBase’.

HOW DID ISAAC DRAW FLAMENGO'S ATTENTION?

Still according to FlaZoeiro and FlaBase, Isaac shone in the Brazil Soccer Cup for Fortaleza, drawing the attention of Flamengo, which decided to invest in the young striker for the base. In the athlete's family, it's all celebration, since everyone is a fan of the Rubro-Negro. Therefore, the boy will fulfill his childhood dream.

Flamengo sees Isaac with potential to evolve technically and has a good physical condition for his age, something considered a prerequisite in modern football. So, the idea is to polish the athlete to be used in the future in the professional Rubro-Negro team. Time, he will have plenty, since the striker still has at least three more years in the base.

HOW IS FLAMENGO'S UNDER-17 TEAM DOING?

Isaac arrives at a team that is on the rise. After all, last Thursday (14), Flamengo smashed Vasco, at São Januário. In the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship Under-17, the Most Wanted won 3-0, with cries of "olé" in the stands. With the result, Mengão jumped to the qualifying zone of the competition.
