DID JUNINHO LEAVE FLAMENGO?

Yes! The first signing of the 'Bap Era', Juninho played for Flamengo for only one season. During this period, the forward couldn't maintain a consistent streak, but scored crucial goals in Rubro-Negro's victorious campaigns.

In the final of the Carioca, Juninho scored one of Flamengo's goals in the first leg against Fluminense. In the Libertadores, the athlete found the net against Deportivo Táchira (VEN), away from home.

WHAT WAS THE TRANSFER FEE FOR JUNINHO TO PUMAS, MEXICO?

Flamengo sold Juninho to Pumas for 5 million euros (around R$ 32 million at the time of the exchange rate). In other words, Rubro-Negro managed to get the same amount they had paid for the forward from Qarabag, Azerbaijan.
