Flamengo announce signing of new forward | OneFootball

At the eleventh hour of the transfer window, Flamengo secured a loan deal

On Wednesday (04), Flamengo announced the signing of forward Diego Reyes, on loan from Club América (Mexico). The 18-year-old joins the U-20 rubro-negro squad coached by Bruno Pivetti.

Reyes’s loan runs until the end of 2026 with a purchase option, should the rubro-negro board choose to exercise it. Although the transfer window closed the day before, Fla guarantees the entire deal was completed within FIFA’s defined period.

Who is Diego Reyes, Flamengo’s new signing?

Considered a gem of Mexican football, Diego Reyes is regarded as a “phenom” in América-MEX’s youth ranks. For the club’s U-21 team, the young forward has tallied 56 goals in the lower divisions.

Did Flamengo sign another prospect for the U-20s?

Reyes is the fifth reinforcement announced for the Rubro-Negro U-20 category in 2026. That’s because midfielder Juan Sayago, center forward Josmar, center-back Muñoz, and left-back Ramirez also arrived this year.

And Flamengo’s first team?

While the academy strengthens, Flamengo is making a change on the coaching staff. Leonardo Jardim is coming in to replace Filipe Luís. The new head coach will therefore make his debut against Fluminense this Sunday (08) at the Maracanã.

Thus, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the Flamengo vs. Fluminense match via YouTube, the website, and social media. However, SporTV (pay TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca match.
