Léo Pereira to Flamengo after special milestone: “I have no words…”

What milestone did Léo Pereira reach wearing the Flamengo shirt?

Flamengo thrashed Atlético-MG 4-0 this Sunday (26) in a match valid for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. In addition to the Rubro-Negro victory, Léo Pereira had another reason to celebrate: the milestone of 300 matches for Fla. Thus, the center back looked back on his journey at the club and declared his love for Mengão.

I have no words to describe what this club has given me. I’m very grateful for everything I’ve experienced; even the bad moments served as steps for me to grow as a person. In my career, I had to show a lot of resilience during a time when I was struggling at the club. Certainly, with the help of many people, including people from the club itself, I was able to turn things around and represent Flamengo and this heavy shirt. The fans, my family, and the Léo who steps onto the pitch to help his teammates. I’m very grateful to reach these 300 matches. I want to win more titles, score more goals, and who knows, maybe reach 350 very soon,” said Léo Pereira in an interview with ‘Flamengo TV’.

What is Léo Pereira’s current situation?

An undisputed starter for Flamengo, Léo Pereira has played 18 matches in 2026, scoring one goal. In addition, the center back’s strong performances earned him the first call-up of his career to the Brazilian National Team during the March FIFA international window.

It is no surprise, then, that Flamengo plans to begin talks to renew the defender’s contract. Although the center back is under contract until December 2027, Rubro-Negro knows how important the player is and wants to protect itself from possible European interest.

Will Léo Pereira be called up for the World Cup?

Because of his strong performances for Flamengo, Léo Pereira is hopeful of playing in the Copa do Brasil wearing the Brazilian National Team shirt. The center back even made a good impression on Carlo Ancelotti during the last FIFA window, starting in the friendlies against France and Croatia.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Léo Pereira available, Flamengo now turns its focus back to the Libertadores. This Wednesday (29), Rubro-Negro will face Estudiantes (ARG) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in the third round of the continental tournament.

So, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of Flamengo’s match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), GE TV (YouTube) and Paramount+ (streaming) will broadcast the Libertadores match.
