It's official! Lorran, an attacking midfielder who came through Flamengo's youth system, was presented this Wednesday (3) as a new player for Pisa Sporting Club , in Italy. The "Garoto do Ninho" was loaned for 500 thousand euros (around R$ 3.1 million), in a contract that includes the obligation to purchase 50% of the athlete's rights for 4 million euros (approximately R$ 25 million).
However, the clause will only be activated if Lorran plays at least 50% of the season's games and Pisa remains in the Italian top flight. If these conditions are met, Flamengo will retain 50% of the player's economic rights , aiming to profit from a future transfer.
"Hello, I'm Lorran ! I'm very happy to be here. I hope to see you soon at the stadium . Let's go!" the athlete declared in a video released by the Italian club on its Instagram page. The midfielder emerged as one of the great prospects of Mengão's youth academy, having impressed during the beginning of his professional career, but his performance declined and he lost ground under Tite and has not been able to recover under Filipe Luís.
Last Saturday, Lorran was at the stadium to watch his future teammates in the match against Roma. Before the match began, the youngster took part in a pitchside warm-up wearing his new club's colors and also reunited with Wesley, his former teammate at Ninho do Urubu.
Without Lorran, Mengão returns to action on September 14th against Juventude at 4 pm (Brasília time) at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Flamengo is looking to end a long winless streak at the Jaconero stadium . The last time they won there was on October 1st, 1997, when the score ended 1-0 for "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved), thanks to an own goal by Rodrigo Costa.

Midfielder Jean Lucas is in great form for Bahia and, in recognition, was called up to the Brazilian National Team . In a press conference this Tuesday (2), the midfielder highlighted the importance of Rogério Ceni , his current coach, in his development on and off the field.
Jean Lucas on Rogério Ceni, former Flamengo player: "he gave me a lot of potential"
"Rogério Ceni gave me a lot of potential, and I'm just grateful to him. He transformed me as a person and as a player. He helped me a lot when I arrived; he called me and told me he'd be by my side and that we'd do great things at Bahia," said Jean Lucas.
Rogério Ceni took over Bahia in 2023, while Jean Lucas arrived the following year . Since then, the duo has built a solid working relationship. Today, the defensive midfielder is a key player on the team, forming a midfield partnership with Flamengo legend Everton Ribeiro.
Despite their connection to the Red-Blacks , Ceni and Jean Lucas' paths never crossed at Gávea . Ceni managed the team between 2020 and 2021, while the midfielder came through the youth ranks but left the club in 2019 before making his way up to the senior squad.
With Jean Lucas on board, Carlo Ancelotti leads Brazil's preparations for the final two games of the South American Qualifiers.
