Jorginho confirms call from Filipe Luís, but rules out Flamengo exit | OneFootball

Did Monaco (FRA) make an offer to sign Flamengo’s Jorginho?

Monaco’s new head coach, Filipe Luís, is looking for reinforcements in the transfer market for the French side. With that in mind, the coach called Jorginho, Flamengo’s midfielder, in an attempt to take the player to the club. This Thursday (16), during an event at Maracanãzinho, the player reiterated that he will remain with the Rubro-Negro.

— He’ll be happy at Monaco just as he was at Flamengo, because of everything he studies, because of who he is. I believe he has everything it takes to shine. (Are you going to Monaco?) Are you crazy, do you want to send me away? We talked, even as friends. No, I’m at Flamengo — said Jorginho in an interview with ‘GE TV’.

Did Filipe Luís try to sign other Flamengo players?

According to reporting by journalist Rock Hudson, from Coluna do Fla, coach Filipe Luís also recommended Jorge Carrascal to the French team, but the head of scouting rejected the Colombian. In addition, a third Flamengo player was analyzed by Monaco, but his name remains confidential.

What did Flamengo director José Boto say about Filipe Luís’ interest in Flamengo players?

“I’m not worried, especially not about Filipe Luís. I’m worried that, because we have good players, the market as a whole will come knocking on our door. But they’ll have to pay the price we think is fair; or maybe we won’t even let [players leave] for a fair price. It depends a lot on what it is, case by case. It’s not something that has been planned,” Boto said in an interview with ‘ESPN’.

What are the details of Filipe Luís’ contract with Monaco?

Coach Filipe Luís signed a contract with Monaco until June 2028. This gave the former Flamengo man the long-dreamed-of opportunity to coach a European club. In addition to the French league, the team will play in the Europa League in the 2026/27 season.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Jorginho available, Flamengo return to the pitch this Friday (17) to face Olimpia in their final friendly before the end of the World Cup. The match kicks off at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília.
