The agreement between Flamengo and Al-Sadd was concluded after intense conversations, with both parties showing interest in finalizing the deal as quickly as possible.

With characteristics of speed, dribbling and good finishing, the Ecuadorian is seen as an important piece to complement the red and black squad, which is looking for new achievements in the coming years.
