Andrew is the new player for Flamengo. The goalkeeper arrived in Rio de Janeiro this Tuesday (13th) to sign a four-year contract. O Mais Querido has already decided on the goalkeeper's jersey number: 42.
According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Andrew requested to wear jersey number 42 at Flamengo. This is because the goalkeeper sees the number as a tribute to his father, who passed away at the age of 42.
Therefore, Flamengo granted jersey number 42 to Andrew, who underwent medical exams this Wednesday (14th) and signed a four-year contract. Thus, the goalkeeper will wear the Sacred Mantle until 2030.
Flamengo offered 1.5 million euros (approximately R$ 9.4 million) + 10% of a future sale for the immediate release of Andrew. The Portuguese club accepted the offer and released the goalkeeper to sign with Rubro-Negro.
Currently, Andrew cannot yet debut with the Flamengo jersey. This is because the goalkeeper needs to be registered in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID). After that, the goalkeeper will be available for O Mais Querido to take the field.
