João Alves participated in the U-20 Club World Cup and was a starter in Flamengo's category

Flamengo will have one less midfielder for the rest of the season. That's because the young João Alves, 20, had his contract terminated and transferred to Al Wasl (SAU). However, the Rubro-Negro kept 30% of the player's rights.

Therefore, the midfielder leaves the club after participating in the U-20 Club World Cup victory and establishing himself as a starter in the team's category. The information is from YouTuber ‘Flazoeiro’, who did not disclose values.

Has anyone else left Flamengo?

Since the U-20 World Cup victory in April, Flamengo has been doing a ‘clean-up’ in the club's youth categories. Among the departures is Felipe Teresa, a promising young player whose contract was terminated due to the player's attitude.

After the termination, Palmeiras signed Teresa with 80% of the player's rights for two years. At Flamengo, the striker scored the title-winning goal in the U-20 Club World Cup against Olympiacos (GRE) and received opportunities in the professional team.

What is Flamengo's next game?

Therefore, without Teresa and João Alves, Flamengo faces Volta Redonda this Saturday (11), for the last round of the Carioca Championship U-20. The match takes place from 3pm (Brasília time) at Gávea.
