US club open talks to sign Iago from Flamengo | OneFootball

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

Captain of Flamengo's under-20 team, Iago seems to be living his last days wearing the Mengão jersey. This is because the Rubro-Negro is in advanced talks to sell the defender to Orlando City, in the United States.

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

What is Iago's situation?

After standing out in the Rubro-Negro's youth ranks, Iago is in an undefined situation at Flamengo. This is because, having completed his time in the under-20s, the defender continues to seek more space in Filipe Luís's team.

At the moment, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Vitão, and Danilo are the main names in Flamengo's defense. Additionally, João Victor, Iago's teammate in the youth categories, is also seeking space in Filipe Luís's team.

Did Iago gain prominence in Flamengo's youth team?

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

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Iago available, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (21) to face Vasco, in the third round of the Carioca. Thus, the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ takes 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.
