What is Erick Pulgar’s situation at Flamengo?


Erick Pulgar is one of the players drawing attention at Flamengo in this transfer window. That is because clubs from around the world are ‘keeping an eye on’ the Chilean defensive midfielder. It is no surprise, then, that the red-and-black club’s board has offered the player a contract renewal.

According to ‘GE’, Flamengo offered Pulgar a salary increase, along with a one-year contract extension, moving the end date from late 2027 to late 2028. That is because the Rubro-Negro does not want to lose the midfielder on the market.

Since then, the defensive midfielder has made 159 appearances, with five goals and nine assists, in addition to two Copa do Brasil titles, two Libertadores titles, one Brasileirão, one Supercopa do Brasil, and three Carioca titles.
