The Flamengo secured the signing of the American point guard Dee Bost for the continuation of the basketball season. The player, who was in Europe, commented on why he decided to join the Pride of the Nation for 2025-26.

— I think what attracted me the most was the history. Coming to compete for a historic club like Flamengo. I have also played for a historic club in Turkey (Galatasaray-TUR), so I know what it means to represent a great institution. I was already familiar with the Brazilian team and watched Flamengo in the Intercontinental Cup a few years ago —, began Dee Bost.

— My first month has been good. We've traveled a lot, so it's been difficult to maintain a consistent training routine, but I think we're in a good place now. The more time we spend together, the better we'll be. We still have a few weeks before the first official game, and I believe we will dedicate time and effort to reach our best potential —, concluded the Flamengo player, in an interview with ‘MundoBola Flamengo‘.
