It’s important to note that besides cousins and friends, family members of Andrew’s wife were also present at the arrival. In contact with the Coluna do Fla reporting team, some family members described the goalkeeper’s move to Flamengo as the fulfillment of a dream.
Andrew is in the final stages of the bureaucratic process to be announced as the newest signing for Flamengo for the 2026 season. This Wednesday (14), the goalkeeper has been undergoing medical exams since early morning.
Once he gets the ‘ok’ in this regard, the player will sign a four-year contract with Mengão. Thus, the expectation is that the official announcement of Flamengo’s new number 42 will happen in the next few hours.
Goalkeeper Andrew is 24 years old and arrives after playing for Gil Vicente (POR). Before building his career in European football, the athlete began his journey in the youth divisions of Botafogo, but did not get opportunities in the professional squad. Finally, the player also had a stint at Maranhão Atlético.
