UAE side announce signing of Flamengo's Lorran | OneFootball

Negotiations between Flamengo and Sharjah FC, from the United Arab Emirates, were confirmed on Friday afternoon (18)

Flamengo confirmed on Friday afternoon (18) the departure of Lorran to Sharjah FC, from the United Arab Emirates. To sign the forward from the Rubro-Negro, the Arab club paid 1.5 million euros, around R$ 8.8 million at the current exchange rate. As a result, the youngster begins another stage of his career away from Brazilian football.

WHO IS LORRAN?

Lorran was one of the main gems produced by Mengão’s youth academy in recent years. In his very first match with the senior team, the player scored at just 16 years old, becoming the youngest player to achieve that feat wearing the Sacred Shirt.

Even at a young age, Lorran began alternating between youth and senior matches. However, after some time gaining experience with the first team, the attacking midfielder was unable to establish himself, and as a result, opportunities became scarce throughout his spell at the club.

HAS LORRAN ALREADY PLAYED OUTSIDE BRAZIL?

Last season, the player spent time on loan at Pisa (ITA). In this way, the experience in Italian football was an attempt to gain playing rhythm away from Flamengo. However, the youngster was also unable to establish himself as a starter for the Italian side.

Given this situation, after the end of the loan spell, Lorran returned to Flamengo and tried to earn a place in Leonardo Jardim’s team. During the mid-season training camp in Portugal, the player got some minutes and stood out in a few matches. However, upon returning to Brazil, he lost space once again.

What is Flamengo’s situation in the 2026 season?

Without Lorran in the squad, Flamengo reached the decisive matches of the 2026 season. This Thursday (17), Mengão hosted Del Valle (ECU) in the Libertadores quarterfinal clash and secured qualification for the semifinals.

In the first leg, Flamengo won 2-0 in Quito, Ecuador. That way, even with a tight 1-1 scoreline at the Maracanã, the Rubro-Negro came out on top on aggregate. As a result, Fla will face Estudiantes (ARG) in the next stage of the continental tournament.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Before thinking about the Libertadores, however, Flamengo return to the field to face Red Bull Bragantino in the Brasileirão. In short, the ball starts rolling at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (20), at the Maracanã. That way, Coluna do Fla TV will show the details of the match with on-site coverage from Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
