US club open talks to sign Flamengo’s Iago | OneFootball

Iago played in Flamengo’s first three matches in the Carioca

Captain of Flamengo’s U-20 team, Iago seems to be living his final days wearing the Mengão shirt. That’s because the Rubro-Negro is in advanced talks to sell the defender to Orlando City, from the United States.

With a contract valid with Flamengo until the end of 2026, Iago has not been given opportunities in the first team. Thus, the Rubro-Negro has advanced negotiations to sell the defender and now awaits only the ‘ok’ from president Bap to finalize the deal. The information comes from ‘GE’.

What is Iago’s current situation?

After standing out in Flamengo’s youth system, Iago faces an uncertain situation at Flamengo. That’s because, having finished his time with the U-20s, the defender continues to seek more space in Filipe Luís’ team.

At the moment, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Vitão, and Danilo are the main names in Flamengo’s defense. In addition, João Victor, Iago’s teammate in the youth categories, is also seeking a spot in Filipe Luís’ team.

Did Iago stand out in Flamengo’s youth system?

It’s worth noting that Iago has achieved historic feats wearing the Flamengo shirt. After all, the number 3 ‘swept’ the youth categories, winning two Libertadores, two Club World Cups, one Brasileirão, one Copa do Brasil (U-17), and one Supercopa do Brasil (U-17).

When is Flamengo’s next match?

With Iago available, Flamengo returns to the pitch this Wednesday (21st) to face Vasco in the third round of the Carioca. Thus, the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ will take place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Vasco through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca classic.
