Andrew to Sign a Four-Year Contract with Flamengo

The transfer window is in full swing, and Flamengo is about to announce another addition for the 2026 season. This is goalkeeper Andrew, who was playing for Gil Vicente, in Portugal.

Andrew arrives at Galeão on the night of this Tuesday (13th), around 10:35 PM (Brasília time). After arriving in Rio de Janeiro, the 24-year-old player will undergo medical exams on Wednesday morning (14th) and then sign a four-year contract with the Rubro-Negro.

DID FLAMENGO PAY TO HAVE ANDREW EARLIER?

Initially, Andrew had signed a pre-contract, as he was still under contract with the Portuguese team until mid-2026. However, Gil Vicente accepted Flamengo's proposal for immediate release, valued at 1.5 million euros (R$ 9.4 million at the current rate), plus a 10% stake in a future sale.

WHO IS ANDREW?

Born in Duque de Caxias, Rio de Janeiro, Andrew began his career in the youth ranks of Botafogo. He then played for a season in Maranhão before moving to European football, gaining experience on the national scene. Soon after, in the 2021/22 season, he signed with Gil Vicente, a club he has been defending since then.

Since joining the Portuguese team, Andrew has played in 124 matches. Most recently, on January 2nd, he was a starter in the 1-1 draw against Sporting (POR), one of the title favorites in Portugal. The match was attended by Flamengo's coach, Filipe Luís, and the director of football, José Boto, who watched the game from the stadium's stands.
