Vasco try to sign former 2019 Flamengo player, but it backfires | OneFootball

Which former Flamengo player did Vasco try to sign?

The transfer market remains open, allowing Brazilian clubs to strengthen their squads for the rest of the season. In this context, Vasco attempted to sign Léo Duarte, a former defender of Flamengo, but ended up unsuccessful.

According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, Vasco sought to bring Léo Duarte last week. However, Basaksheir, from Turkey, did not want to open negotiations with the Rio de Janeiro team. The main reason is that the Turkish team sees the player as one of the pillars of their defensive system. Finally, the former Flamengo player's contract with the club runs until June 2026.

HOW WAS LÉO DUARTE'S CAREER AT FLAMENGO?

Léo Duarte started in the youth categories of Flamengo, where he won the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior in 2016. In the same year, the player got his first opportunities in the professional team, but his progress was interrupted due to injuries.

The defender remained at Flamengo until mid-2019. During this time, Léo Duarte participated in several victorious campaigns of the Rubro-Negro. In total, he won six titles, with the most important being the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão of the mentioned year. Subsequently, the player was sold to Milan (ITA).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

While Léo Duarte continues in Turkish football, the Flamengo team takes the field this Sunday (17) to face Internacional, for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. In summary, the match kicks off at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Beira-Rio Stadium in Porto Alegre. Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will show everything that happens in the match on YouTube. Finally, SporTV (closed channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the match.
