Flamengo confirmed, this Monday, the termination of the contract of striker Felipe Teresa , 19 years old, who had a contract with the club until July 2026. The player was known for having been the author of the goal that guaranteed Rubro-Negro the title of the U-20 World Cup in 2024 , when the team was commanded by Filipe Luís.


According to information initially released by the Flazoeiro profile, the decision to terminate the contract came from Flamengo itself, motivated by dissatisfaction with the athlete's behavior in training and matches. The incident occurs amid a restructuring of the club's youth squad, which has seen several players leave in recent months.


LOSS OF SPACE


In 2024, Felipe Teresa played 25 games and scored five goals for the U-20 team. He even came on in the second half of the red-and-black team's penalty shootout victory over Barcelona at the Maracanã , but in the final matches he was only on the bench. Despite being more experienced, the striker lost out to younger players.

PASSAGE THROUGH THE PROFESSIONAL


Last year, Teresa received an opportunity in the professional team during the Brazilian Championship , in the match against Grêmio , when she came on at the end of the game and scored a goal.

He subsequently played only for the alternate team in the Campeonato Carioca and was never called up to the main squad again. The striker joined Flamengo in 2022, at the age of 15 , after excelling in the Campeonato Paulista with Inter de Limeira.
