Lorran unveiled by Saudi club | OneFootball

Forward Lorran has been announced by Sharjah FC of the United Arab Emirates. The 20-year-old player was put on the market by Flamengo, as he was not expected to have a place in coach Leonardo Jardim’s squad. In the last transfer window, Lorran was approached by Granada of Spain and by other European clubs.

However, the figures presented by Sharjah FC of the United Arab Emirates were more attractive. The final numbers were not disclosed, but the deal was worth around 1.5 million euros (about R$ 8.8 million). Lorran traveled to the Middle East in recent days. He underwent medical examinations before signing with the club.

Lorran, who was under contract with Flamengo until December 2029, had been loaned to Pisa of Italy. The attacking midfielder made 10 appearances for the club. However, he started only once. During his spell there, he scored a goal on his debut. After that, even coming off the bench, he had few minutes.

Lorran was once called lazy

During his time at the Italian club, Lorran went through an unusual situation. The forward was praised by coach Gilardino for his footballing quality. However, he was also called lazy by the same coach.

“These players have something different in terms of technique, determination, and instinct. But we need to get rid of a bit of their laziness. The boy has been in Italy for only a short time. If he can shake off the laziness, he will do great things,” the coach said at the time when Lorran was playing for the Italian club.

Upon returning to Flamengo, the player delivered good performances and even had his place in the squad reconsidered. However, coach Leonardo Jardim said he would not count on him for the remainder of the season in Brazil.
