Hint dropped? Samuel Lino’s mum shares photo of him in a Flamengo shirt | OneFootball

Samuel Lino is Flamengo's third reinforcement in this transfer window

Flamengo has confirmed the signing of Samuel Lino this Friday (25), after convincing Atletico Madrid (ESP) to release the player. However, the Most Loved has not officially announced the signing of the Brazilian, as they await the signing of the contract. Amid the end of the negotiation, the striker's mother, Vânia Dias, 'took the lead' and posted a photo of the player with the Sacred Mantle.

It is worth mentioning that Flamengo will disburse 22 million euros (about R$ 143 million at the current rate) for the signing of Samuel Lino, in addition to up to 2 million euros (R$ 13 million) in bonus for goals. Thus, the expectation is that the new red-black striker will arrive in Rio de Janeiro in the next few days.

HAS SAMUEL LINO BECOME THE MOST EXPENSIVE SIGNING IN HISTORY?

By closing the signing of Samuel Lino, Flamengo surpassed its own record investment in reinforcements. Previously, the Most Loved's biggest signing had been Argentine midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, acquired from Southampton (ENG) in 2024 for 20 million dollars (R$ 110.6 million). However, it is worth mentioning that the player did not establish himself in Filipe Luís' team and, therefore, was bought by Everton (ENG).

WHAT ROLE SHOULD SAMUEL LINO PLAY AT FLAMENGO?

Like Saúl Ñíguez, Samuel Lino is another kind of 'joker' player. This is because, despite being a striker by origin, the Brazilian has been playing as a wing in recent years, mainly due to Diego Simeone's tactical scheme. At Flamengo, however, the expectation is that the player will be used on the left side of the attack, competing with Michael and Cebolinha.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO RETURN TO THE FIELD?

While the red-black board awaits the arrival of Samuel Lino, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitment. This Sunday (27), Filipe Luís' team faces Atlético-MG, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 17th round of the Brasileirão. Thus, as usual, the Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the game through the site and the social networks.
