AFTER CARLINHOS, FLAMENGO AIM TO HIRING ANOTHER CARIOCÃO STANDARD

In search of a backup for Luiz Araújo, Flamengo could sign another player from Nova Iguaçu: Xandinho. The information was given by journalist Wilson Pimentel, from RTI Esporte. As published by the portal, vice-president of football Marcos Braz met twice with Olaria's CEO, Ricardo Gonzaga, to talk about the topic. Xandinho belongs to the club on Rua Bariri.

The meeting would have been very productive, and as Xandinho is on loan to Nova Iguaçu and has a contract with Olaria until 2025, he would renew his link with the second division team in Rio and could be loaned to Flamengo, with option to purchase. However, Mengão has not yet formalized the proposal, as it is monitoring other possibilities in the market.

O Flamengo would have already been informed by the athlete's staff that Xandinho received surveys from Vasco and two others São Paulo clubs. However, like Flamengo, no other team made an official offer. The player's future has a great chance of being defined from the 8th, one day after the final of the Campeonato Carioca. In the first game between Flamengo and Nova Iguaçu, Rubro-Negro won 3-0.
