Ninho graduate mentions Vini Jr, says he's eager to return to Flamengo | OneFootball

Yuri César says that all Flamengo has to do is call, and the striker will be ready to return

As the anthem says: once Flamengo, always Flamengo. Thus, the striker Yuri César, who has been in the United Arab Emirates for six seasons, can’t wait to return to the club that developed him. The Shabab Al Ahly player says he talks to Vini about coming back to Fla.

— I want to go to Europe. I’ll fulfill my contract here, but if something good comes up for renewal, it’s always good to keep an eye out. If I have to return (to Flamengo) one day, I wouldn’t think twice. If an offer comes, I wouldn’t think either, are you crazy — emphasized Yuri, who adds:

— Vini is a huge Flamengo fan, so much so that the winger says it openly all the time. When we came up through the youth ranks, it was me, the Real Madrid star, and Lincoln. We were always very close friends and after our teammate moved up to the professional squad, he stayed just as humble — he said to ‘365 Scores’.

Who is Yuri César?

Developed in the youth categories of Flamengo, the player has nine titles with Shabab Al Ahly. The 25-year-old left winger was part of the professional squad of the Rubro-Negro in 2019. Thus, the youngster is a champion of the Libertadores and the Brasileirão.

When did Flamengo sell Yuri?

Yuri César didn’t have many opportunities in 2020, when Jorge Jesus was still in charge of Flamengo. So, with little use by the Portuguese coach, the striker was loaned to Fortaleza in March of that season.

Flamengo sold the player for US$ 6 million (about R$ 32.7 million at the time). In the main squad of Mengo, the striker wore the Sacred Mantle only four times, all in the Campeonato Carioca.
