European scouts attend Flamengo match to watch player | OneFootball

Which Flamengo player is being targeted by European teams?

By: Rodrigo Lima

Joshua is one of the talents Flamengo has in its youth ranks. Despite his young age, the attacking midfielder has already attracted interest from European clubs. Last Thursday (21), scouts from teams on the ‘Old Continent’ were even on hand to watch the player’s performance in Mengo’s match against Santos in the U-20 Brasileirão.

According to reporting by Coluna do Fla, representatives from European teams went to Luso Brasileiro to closely follow Joshua’s performance. After the match, the scouts gathered information on the player to take back to the clubs interested in signing him.

It is important to note that, so far, the names of the clubs interested in signing Joshua are still being kept confidential. However, the trend is for the scouts to continue closely evaluating the performance of Flamengo’s U-20 midfielder. So far, it is worth noting, no team has made an official offer to the Rubro-Negro for the player.

WHAT IS JOSHUA’S SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Even amid the ‘interest’ from European teams in Joshua, Flamengo is protected, as it has a contract with the player valid until 2029, with a release clause around R$ 400 million. In this way, Mengo is waiting to receive possible approaches from overseas clubs for the player.

Midfielder Joshua returned to the pitch last week after a long period recovering from injury. Even so, the player made the most of the opportunity, came on during the second half, and took part in the red-and-black team’s attacking plays against Santos.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

With Joshua available, Flamengo returns to the field next Wednesday (27) to face América-MG in the U-20 Brasileirão. Kickoff is at 3 p.m. (Brasília time), away from home, in Belo Horizonte. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover the details of the clash on social media and on the website.
