Flamengo rule out selling keeper Andrew to English club

Gil Vicente (POR) sold Andrew to Flamengo for 1.5 million euros (R$ 9.4 million)

Flamengo fended off yet another European approach for one of its red-and-black players. That’s because Wolves (ENG) showed interest in goalkeeper Andrew, but the Rubro-Negro did not even wait to hear the offer before ruling out negotiations.

The English second-division side’s interest in the keeper comes from a recommendation by coach Cézar Peixoto. Andrew and the manager worked together at Gil Vicente, the Portuguese club that sold the goalkeeper to Mengão. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.

How is Andrew doing at Flamengo?

The 25-year-old Brazilian has still not managed to take the starting spot from Argentina’s Rossi in Flamengo’s goal. As a result, the goalkeeper has made only seven appearances this year, in addition to friendlies played in Portugal during the 2026 World Cup.

How much did Flamengo pay for Andrew?

Flamengo signed the goalkeeper for 1.5 million euros (around R$ 9.4 million). Portuguese club Gil Vicente also kept 10% of the rights for a future sale. His contract with Rubro-Negro runs until 2029.

Why did Flamengo rule out negotiating Andrew?

The club made a major effort to sign the player, who declared his love for Fla at his presentation. In addition, this season, first-choice keeper Rossi has come under criticism from some fans, who even argue that the backup deserves more minutes.

What is Wolves’ situation?

The team from the city of Wolverhampton was relegated from the Premier League in the 2025/26 season. Therefore, Wolves will play in the Championship, the second division, next season. That relegation may have influenced Flamengo’s quick decision.

What other offers from Europe has Flamengo turned down?

Not negotiating Andrew is Flamengo’s third rejection of European clubs in recent weeks. The club also turned down the 10 million euros (R$ 58 million) that Aston Villa (ENG) offered for Emerson Royal, as well as the same amount that Beşiktaş (TUR) proposed for Léo Pereira.

What is the author’s opinion on the matter?

It’s very good to know that Flamengo is financially strong enough to turn down so much money, or not even listen to a European offer. As for Andrew, I would also like to see the goalkeeper on the pitch more often, because it would also be a way to shield Rossi from so much criticism,” said João Vítor Reis of Coluna do Fla.
