Match between Gil Vicente and Sporting in the Portuguese League features a defender of interest to Flamengo

Coach Filipe Luís and football director José Boto, from Flamengo, were seen this Friday (02) in Portugal. The red-black duo is monitoring the match between Gil Vicente and Sporting, in the Portuguese League, which features the Brazilian goalkeeper Andrew Ventura.

The 24-year-old defender is in his fifth season at Gil Vicente. Andrew was on the radar of Bahia and Red Bull Bragantino, but Flamengo intends to jump the queue to sign the goalkeeper. The presence of Filipe Luís and Boto has become a topic in the Portuguese press.

Why is Flamengo monitoring a goalkeeper?

Rossi finished the 2025 season with 68 matches. Moreover, Matheus Cunha transferred to Cruzeiro after not having his contract renewed with the Red-Black. Therefore, the Most Beloved is looking for a replacement.

Why Andrew?

Andrew is a revelation from Botafogo's youth academy. The goalkeeper is experiencing the best moment of his career at Gil Vicente. In early December, for example, he was named the Goalkeeper of the Month for November in the Portuguese League, an award he had already won in October.

Who else is Flamengo monitoring?

Until now, the most frequent name behind the scenes at Flamengo was Gabriel Brazão, from Santos. However, the São Paulo club and the player do not indicate any interest in negotiating with the Most Beloved.

When will Boto and Filipe Luís return from Portugal?

The presence of the red-black duo in Portugal is important beyond scouting a goalkeeper. This is because Flamengo has secured the signing of defender Vitão, but the announcement of the former Internacional player can only be officially made after Boto's return.
