Flamengo announced the signing of Lucas Paquetá this Wednesday (28). The midfielder, in fact, will land in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday (29) to sign the contract. Furthermore, as he is about to wear the Sacred Mantle for the second time, the player is close to reaching a centenary milestone.
Having come up through the youth ranks of the red-black club, Lucas Paquetá was promoted to the professional team in 2016 and said goodbye to Flamengo in January 2019. Thus, the midfielder played 95 matches wearing the Sacred Mantle. In other words, he needs five more games to reach a significant milestone with Mengo.
With 95 matches played for Flamengo, Lucas Paquetá has scored 18 goals and provided eight assists, according to ‘Transfermarket’. In addition, the midfielder has a Carioca (2017) and a Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior (2016) on his resume.
Lucas Paquetá will land in Rio de Janeiro on the morning of this Thursday (29) and will sign a five-year contract with Flamengo. To sign the midfielder, the Rubro-Negro will pay 42 million euros (R$ 260 million), with part of the amount paid upfront and the rest in installments until 2028.
Meanwhile, Flamengo is preparing for its next fixture of the season, against São Paulo. The match will take place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at MorumBIS, for the first round of the Brasileirão.
Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and São Paulo through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel), GE TV (YouTube), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
