Forward Petterson had his visa regularized and leaves this Thursday (25) for Portugal. Flamengo loaned the 20-year-old player to Estrela Amadora, a team in Portugal's first division. The loan contract between the Portuguese club and Mengão runs until June 2025.

If Estrela Amadora chooses to buy the player, they will have to pay the amount of €750,000 (R$4.4 million ) for 60% of Petterson's economic rights. The information is from Flazoeiro. With 9 goals in 30 games in the 2023 season, the player won three titles in Mengão's youth categories: the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa do Brasil under-17, both in 2021, and the Brasileirão Under-20 in 2023. After a During his loan period at Athletico Paranaense, Petterson packed his bags for Portugal.

At the Paraná club, he debuted with a goal, but an act of indiscipline caused him to be removed and no longer play. He even had a new loan to Avaí, which didn't happen. Now he will have another chance to prove himself.

The club finished the last season of the Portuguese League in 14th place, with seven wins, 15 defeats and 12 draws. In the League Cup, the team was eliminated in the first round; in the Portuguese Cup, Estrela Amadora fell through in the fourth round.

The result in the Portuguese Championship, however, was considered satisfactory. This is because the team returned to compete in the local elite after 15 years. The objective was maintenance.

In the new team, Petterson can expect to find many Brazilians among his teammates. The club has names like André Luiz and Daniel Cabral (both ex-Flamengo), Bruno Brígido (ex-Criciúma) and Léo Jabá (ex-Corinthians). Currently the club plays in the pre-season of European football.

Behind the scenes of football, a movement has attracted attention. The attacking midfielder Matheus Gonçalves, just 18 years old, is the target of a loan proposal until the end of the year by Fortaleza. However, Flamengo did not accept the offer and made it clear that it is only willing to negotiate the young talent definitively.

Matheus Gonçalves has attracted interest from clubs both in Brazil and abroad. Recently, Flamengo refused a significant proposal from RB Bragantino: 5 million euros, around R$30 million, for 50% of the player's economic rights. Flamengo's decision indicates the high valuation of the attacking midfielder, who is seen as a promise for the club's future.

FLAMENGO DOESN'T WANT TO SELL JEWELRY

Interest from Fortaleza demonstrates the search from the Ceará club for reinforcing the squad with promising young people, in the hope of achieving better results in competitions. However, the firm stance of Flamengo in relation to the sale of Matheus Gonçalves shows that the club has bigger plans for the young athlete or, at least, an expectation of obtaining an even more advantageous offer on the market.

Matheus Gonçalves has been standing out in the youth teams at Flamengo and has already caught the attention of other clubs previously. His ability on the field and growth potential make him a coveted piece on the transfer market. The refusal of recent proposals suggests that Flamengo believes in the player's continued development and future value.
