FINALLY? LÉO ORTIZ ALREADY HAS A DATE TO ARRIVE IN RIO DE JANEIRO AND REPORT TO FLAMENGO - CHECK IT OUT

It seems that the soap opera finally involving Léo Ortiz, Flamengoand Bragantino has come to an end, however, the red and black fans will only celebrate the signing of the defender when the club makes the official announcement. Thus, the defender is close to having his arrival confirmed in Rio de Janeiro.

According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, from SBT Rio, the tendency is for Léo Ortiz to travel to Rio on Tuesday (5) de Janeiro and go to Ninho do Urubu to meet the CT, take exams and meet your new companions.

REQUEST FROM TITE

The defender and commander of Flamengo worked together on the Brazilian team. Now, after Tite's request and insistence, they will once again defend the same colors together. On Friday night (1), the last obstacle for Mais Querido to sign the defender was overturned. Bragantino wanted the defender to play against Botafogo in the next two weeks in the pre-Libertadores, but the request was denied by Rubro Negro and Léo.

It is possible that Léo Ortiz will assume number 3, which was Rodrigo Caio. The defender will also take the place of the Mais Querido, who left the club at the end of 2023 and so far has not found any team to play for.

AMOUNTS THAT WILL BE PAID TO BRAGANTINO

The soap opera involving Flamengo and Bragantino by Léo Ortiz has lasted since December 2023. Remembering that Mais Querido wanted to pay around 6 million euros for the defender, but the São Paulo team demanded 10 million euros. Little by little, the deal was changed and the clubs reached a common denominator: Rubro Negro will pay 7 million euros in a fixed manner, in two installments. The Bragança Paulista team could still receive another 1 million euros in the future, if the defender reaches goals.
