Flamengo announced, this Friday (30), the signing of midfielder Lucas Paquetá. As a result, Ninho do Urubu became the scene of a crowd going wild with the presence of the player, who returned the affection with shirts, autographs, and photos.
Watch the video:
The images show Paquetá wearing a fan version jersey surrounded by children. The midfielder tries to hand out a different shirt to each, with a thank you message printed on it. “Obrigado Nação” (“Thank you, Nation”), says the print.
The homegrown talent from Flamengo’s youth academy landed in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday (29) to sign a contract with his formative club after seven years in Europe. Thus, the Rubro-Negro will pay 42 million euros (R$ 260 million) to West Ham (ENG) for the midfielder.
Medical exams passed and contract signed. However, for the midfielder to play, Flamengo needs to send the signed contract to the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). So, as soon as the document is published in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID), the player will be able to take the field wearing the Sacred Mantle.
With hopes of having Paquetá, Flamengo’s match against Corinthians is scheduled for Sunday (01), at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília, for the Supercopa Rei. The match will take place starting at 4pm (Brasília time), with on-site coverage by Coluna do Fla.
