It took a while, but it's here! Jorge Carrascal, finally, was announced by Flamengo. On the night of this Saturday (02), the Most Beloved confirmed the arrival of the Colombian midfielder, who will wear jersey 15. The player is being prepared to debut next Saturday (09), against Mirassol, for the Brasileirão.
Jorge Carrascal is the fourth reinforcement of the current transfer window. The other three, in fact, debuted last Thursday (31), against Atlético-MG: Emerson Royal, Saúl and Samuel Lino. In fact, the Colombian midfielder watched the match from the Maracanã boxes. As he was participating in the preseason with Dynamo Moscow (RUS), the athlete should not take long to play and has a good chance of participating in the last game of the first round of the Brasileirão.
The deadline for Flamengo to register players for the matches against Atlético-MG ended last Wednesday (30). Therefore, Carrascal will not be able to participate in the return match, next Wednesday (06), at Arena MRV. Therefore, if the Rubro-Negro manages to qualify, winning by two goals difference, the Colombian will play in the quarterfinals.
To close with Carrascal, Flamengo paid 12 million euros to Dynamo. Therefore, approximately R$ 77 million, by the current exchange rate. The negotiation took a while to be concluded, as the transaction involved three parties: Mengão, the Russians and Atlético-MG. This is because, the Europeans would only agree to release the midfielder after closing the signing of Rubens, from the miners, finalized last Friday (01).
In addition, there was a delay in sending the documentation from Dynamo to Flamengo. With everything ok, finally, Mengão announced the signing of the midfielder on the night of this Saturday (02), on social networks. Still without the reinforcement, Filipe Luís' team takes the field this Sunday (03), against Ceará, away from home, for the Brasileirão.
