The Flamengo has its eye on Cedric Soares, a 32-year-old right-back who recently left Arsenal and is available on the market. The Portuguese player, who has already played for important European clubs, appears as a possible signing to reinforce the red and black squad.

According to Matheus Leal, Flamengo's search for a right-back is driven by uncertainty about the permanence of Danilo, who can still continue in European football. Cedric Soares appears as a viable and experienced alternative to occupy the position, bringing with him a wealth of games for the Premier League and the Portuguese National Team.

A NEW "PROJECT" FOR THE FLAMENGO SIDELINE 

Cedric Soares began his professional career at Sporting Lisbon, where he stood out and attracted the attention of clubs outside Portugal. His transfer to England's Southampton marked the beginning of his Premier League journey. At the English club, he established himself as one of the main players in the position, showing consistency and defensive quality.

After a standout period at Southampton, Cedric was loaned to Inter Milan and later signed by Arsenal. At the London club, he had a regular performance, but was unable to establish himself as an absolute starter, which culminated in his departure and availability on the market.
