Sport Boys (PER) signed former Flamengo player through the end of 2026

Sport Boys (PER) announced on Monday (06) the signing of left back Miguel Trauco, who previously played for Flamengo. Therefore, the player joins a team after a sexual abuse accusation.

The contract between the player and Sport Boys runs until the end of the 2026 season. Trauco is 33 years old and, besides the Rubro-Negro, has also played for the Peru national team and Saint-Étienne of France.

Is Trauco accused of sexual abuse?

At Alianza Lima (PER), the left back became the target of an investigation for sexually abusing an Argentine woman. According to the alleged victim, she was assaulted at a hotel in Montevideo during the squad’s preseason.

Fans of the Peruvian team were outraged with Trauco. Alianza Lima supporters then stormed the club’s training center intending to drive the former Flamengo player out. Still in January, the club announced the termination of the wing back’s contract.

How did Trauco perform at Flamengo?

Flamengo signed Trauco in December 2016. In 79 matches wearing the Sacred Jersey, the left back scored four goals and provided three assists. In addition, he won the Campeonato Carioca titles in 2017 and 2019, and was also part of the 2019 title-winning squad.

First, the Peruvian lost space in the Rubro-Negro team to Renê. Then, the arrival of Filipe Luís made the defender the third-choice option at left back. As a result, the wing back transferred to Saint-Étienne, which earned Mengão around R$ 2.4 million.
