The possible signing of Andrew Pereira is part of Flamengoto seek young promises on the international market to reinforce its youth categories. The club has increasingly invested in training new talents, with the expectation that these players could, in the future, join the professional squad or yield good results in possible negotiations.


Flamengo's interest in Andrew Pereira also aligns with the club's policy of diversifying the nationalities of its base players, expanding the range of South American talents who can bring different characteristics and playing styles to the team. The choice of a Venezuelan player, playing in Argentina, highlights DSFLA's wide observation network and ability to identify young people with potential in markets that are often little explored by other major Brazilian clubs.


 FLAMENGO THERE IS A NEW INVESTMENT


Although there is no formal proposal yet, Flamengo has already started to analyze the necessary conditions for the deal to come to fruition. This includes a financial assessment, in addition to understanding Newell's Old Boys' expectations regarding a possible negotiation. The Argentine club, which traditionally trains and sells young talents to the international market, may see Andrew Pereira as an opportunity to make a good deal.

The arrival of Andrew Pereira at Flamengo would, without a doubt, be an addition interesting for the red and black base, which already has other promising young people in its squad. The club's objective is that, with time and adequate development, Andrew can become an option for the main team, following the path of other athletes who started in the youth categories and are now highlights in Brazilian and international football.
