Pedro plays coy on Flamengo future: ‘It’s inevitable’ | OneFootball

Pedro is under contract with Flamengo until December 2027

The top scorer for Flamengo in the 21st century, Pedro is enjoying a great run of form with Leonardo Jardim in charge of the club. Close to turning 29, the number 9 was asked about a possible retirement at the club, but stayed calm.

— I’m not thinking about retirement yet, I’m 28 years old (laughs). I’ll keep staying, I’ll keep staying (laughs). But of course I think a lot about the present moment. As for extending my contract, it’s not really just up to me -, he said, before concluding:

— I’m very happy here at Flamengo, that’s inevitable. Of course I want to keep making more history in this shirt, keep scoring goals and winning titles. Every day I spend here is a dream come true, and I hope it continues like this -, Pedro concluded in an interview with ‘GE’.

What are Pedro’s numbers at Flamengo?

Flamengo completed the signing of Pedro in January 2020, initially on loan from Fiorentina (Italy). After strong performances from the striker, Mengão exercised the purchase option and paid 14 million euros (around R$ 87 million at the time) to sign the player permanently.

Since then, Pedro has established himself as one of the idols of Flamengo’s recent generation. Wearing the red-and-black shirt, the striker has played 324 matches, with 164 goals and 43 assists. In addition, the player has won 13 titles: four Carioca Championships, two Brasileirão titles, two Copa do Brasil titles, two Libertadores, two Supercopas do Brasil, and one Recopa Sudamericana.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

With Pedro available, Flamengo is preparing to make its debut in the Copa do Brasil. This Wednesday (22), Leonardo Jardim’s team faces Vitória at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the first leg of the competition’s fifth round.
