Flamengo sign young Club América star | OneFootball

The transfer market doesn't stop at Club América, even though it has officially closed in Mexico.

A few weeks ago, it was revealed that Flamengo from Brazil was very interested in signing Diego Reyes, an 18-year-old player from the Eagles.

And today, the signing of Diego has been confirmed. He is already in Brazil and will initially be playing with the Under-20 category, with options to move up to the first team.

Reyes debuted in the first division at 16 on July 6, 2024, but since then he has had very little activity in the first team, limited to a few friendly matches.

He has been a top scorer in different categories, scoring 56 goals, and in the current tournament, he has three goals in three matches played.

Is it better to loan him out or keep him and give him a chance?

One of the main questions arising from this negotiation is whether it would have been a better option to give him the opportunity to play in the team before loaning him out.

Especially now that there isn't a reliable forward in the squad; it would be ideal to see him on the field to gain experience and perhaps even earn a spot in the first team.

But it is also clear that this coaching staff doesn't have much confidence in playing with young players, as we have seen very little of this with André Jardine.

Nevertheless, it is a great opportunity for Diego Reyes to showcase himself in the best league on the continent and perhaps, in the future, make the leap to European football.
