Pulgar targeted by clubs in the US and Middle East, could leave Flamengo | OneFootball

Pulgar is under contract with Flamengo until December 2027

Defensive midfielder Erick Pulgar has been a nailed-on starter for Flamengo since the season under Tite in 2023. As a result, the Chilean midfielder has become a target for clubs from the United States and the Middle East due to his contract situation at the Rubro-Negro side.

According to Chilean newspaper ‘AS Chile’, Erick Pulgar has received inquiries from clubs in the Middle East. In addition, two teams from the United States have shown interest in the Flamengo player. However, there is still no official offer for the midfielder.

Starting in July this year, Erick Pulgar will have a release clause of 4 million dollars (R$ 20 million at the current exchange rate). As such, clubs are working behind the scenes to trigger the clause and take the player away from Flamengo.

WHAT IS PULGAR’S SITUATION?

Erick Pulgar suffered an injury to the acromioclavicular joint in his right shoulder. As a result, the Chilean midfielder underwent treatment with the club’s Medical Department. At the moment, he is doing rehabilitation work to return to Flamengo matches.

Therefore, Erick Pulgar’s last match for Flamengo was the 3-0 loss to Red Bull Bragantino on April 2. In fact, the Chilean midfielder was sent off. The player is under contract with Mengo until December 2027.

WHEN DO FLAMENGO PLAY?

Without Erick Pulgar, the Flamengo squad remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. The Rubro-Negro team face Estudiantes (ARG) this Wednesday (29) at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time, away from home, in a match valid for the third round of the Copa Libertadores.

As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the information live from La Plata, with reports from Rock Hudon and Simon Ledo. Finally, TV Globo, on free-to-air television, and Paramount+, via streaming, will broadcast the match.
