Grêmio hopeful eyes Flamengo star, faces reality check | OneFootball

Odorico Roman promised a major signing if he won the Grêmio elections

The Grêmio is in an election year, and one of the candidates used the proposal of attempting to sign Pedro from Flamengo as part of his campaign. However, Odorico Roman received a negative response when he approached the staff of the red-black number 9.

“We sought information about Pedro because at a certain point it seemed he might be available. What we objectively learned is that Flamengo does not release the player for the Brazilian market, and the asking price for abroad is around 15 million euros (about R$92 million),” Roman told ‘Soccer News Grêmio’, a club-focused profile.

What is the context between Pedro and Grêmio?

Chapa 2, formed by Odorico Roman and Celso Rigo, excited Grêmio fans with the promise of signing one of Brazil's top strikers. Thus, the idea was to have Pedro if they were victorious in the election.

What is Pedro's situation at Flamengo?

Pedro has a contract with Flamengo until December of next year. At this moment, the red-black team has already opened negotiations to renew with the forward. The player is currently in the medical department due to a fractured arm.

The Flamengo management decided to finalize the renewal of some players after the Libertadores decision on November 29 and the end of the Brasileirão. The idea of the directors is to keep full focus on winning the competitions and the final stretch of the season.

When will Pedro return?

The latest information is that Pedro will return to training with the group next week. Currently, the player is doing individual field activities, but without the ball. Therefore, initially, the player does not worry the Red-Black with an eye on the Libertadores final.

When is Flamengo's next game?

Without Pedro, Flamengo and Santos will play on Sunday (09), for the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled to start at 6:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.
