Midfielders Lorran and Rayan Lucas returned to Flamengo after the end of their loan spells with Pisa (ITA) and Sporting (POR), respectively. At first, the club’s Football Department sees the youngsters, even though they are still age-eligible for the U-20 squad, as first-team assets. However, a possible use of the duo in the youth setup has not been ruled out.

Given this situation, Leonardo Jardim will have time to assess Lorran and Rayan Lucas during this preseason. According to information obtained by Coluna do Fla, the Flamengo coach will take a closer look at the players to understand their qualities before making a final decision.

WILL LORRAN AND RAYAN LUCAS STAY AT FLAMENGO?

Even with this evaluation by Leonardo Jardim, the future of Lorran and Rayan Lucas is still uncertain at Flamengo. That is because, according to information obtained by Coluna do Fla, the club has not ruled out a new deal involving the duo in the next transfer window.

WHAT IS LORRAN’S SITUATION?

Lorran is one of the most important recent ‘gems’ from Flamengo’s youth academy. Showing a lot of talent, the midfielder was promoted to the first team at 16 and became the youngest player to score a goal for the club.

After that, Lorran kept getting opportunities with the senior squad but was unable to establish himself. As a result, the midfielder even moved back down to the U-20s before being loaned to Pisa. Unable to put together a consistent run in European football, the Italian club chose not to exercise the purchase option for the Ninho graduate.

WHAT IS RAYAN LUCAS’S SITUATION?

The situation of Rayan Lucas is similar to that of Lorran. Sporting had the option to sign the Flamengo academy product on a permanent deal. However, at the end of the loan contract, the Portuguese club chose not to exercise the purchase option for the defensive midfielder. As a result, both players are ‘back home.’

HOW LONG ARE LORRAN AND RAYAN LUCAS UNDER CONTRACT WITH FLAMENGO?

While they wait for their futures to be decided, Lorran and Rayan Lucas remain club assets. The midfielder is under contract with Flamengo until December 2029, while the defensive midfielder is tied to the club until the end of 2028.
