“Flamengo has completed the signing of defensive midfielder Pedro Henrique, previously under contract with Paysandu (PA), as another reinforcement for the under-20 squad. In an agreement with the player and Paysandu regarding the payment of the compensation clause (release clause), the player arrived at CT George Helal this Friday (17), where he got to know the Ninho do Urubu facilities, underwent medical examinations, and signed a three-year contract,” Flamengo announced in a statement.

“Before being integrated into the squad in his category, as a first step — the result of an institutional partnership focused on player development — it was agreed between the parties that, after being registered by Flamengo, the player will be loaned to Paysandu until the end of the Brazilian Série C. The measure is part of the strategic plan for Pedro Henrique’s development and maturation, since by playing in the competition he will have the opportunity to gain experience and more minutes at a competitive level,” added Rubro-Negro.

WHAT TWISTS TOOK PLACE IN THE SIGNING?

Last month, Flamengo made an offer for Pedro Henrique, but the youngster was unhappy to learn that he would be part of Rubro-Negro’s under-20 team. Currently, the player is an undisputed starter for Paysandu’s first team, which won the Campeonato Paraense and is competing in Brazil’s Série C.

In addition, Pedro Henrique was on the radar of clubs in Portugal and wanted to move to European football. However, Flamengo managed to convince the player, opened the possibility of loaning him to Paysandu until the end of the year, and succeeded in signing him.

HOW IS PEDRO HENRIQUE DOING AT PAYSANDU?

With Paysandu’s senior team since the end of last year, Pedro Henrique has made 17 appearances for the first team, scoring two goals. As he will remain on loan with the Pará club, Flamengo fans will be able to root for the youngster next Tuesday (21), when the club faces Vasco in the Copa do Brasil.
