Flamengo has signed midfielder Jorginho to strengthen its squad for the Club World Cup . Although the contract has not yet been signed, the agreement has already been agreed between the parties, with the final details defined. In the meantime, the player is enjoying his last weeks as an Arsenal (ENG) player, before reporting to Rubro-Negro.


The contract between Flamengo and Jorginho will last for three years , until mid-2028. According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, the Rio de Janeiro club will pay 10 million euros — around R$65 million — over the course of the contract. This represents an investment of approximately R$20 million per season to have the Italian-Brazilian.


PERSONAL MOTIVATION WEIGHED IN THE CHOICE


In March, Jorginho was in Rio de Janeiro for a brief break with his fiancée. During this time, he received affection from the red-and-black fans, especially for the welcome they gave to his partner . The warm reception influenced the midfielder's decision, who prioritized Flamengo's offer over other prospects.

CHEST INJURY AND FINAL STRAIGHT IN THE ARSENAL


Out of action since April 12, when he suffered a thoracic injury in a match against Brentford, Jorginho is still recovering in the Arsenal medical department. The expectation is that he can be included in the squad for the decisive clash against PSG (FRA), valid for the Champions League semi-final, this Wednesday (07).

FLAMENGO ON THE FIELD FOR THE LIBERTADORES

While waiting for Jorginho's arrival, Flamengo focuses on the Libertadores . This Wednesday (07), the team faces Central Córdoba (ARG), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Único Madre de Ciudades Stadium , for the fourth round of the group stage.

Last Thursday (31), Flamengo was defeated by Atlético-MG by 1-0 , at Maracanã, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.

After the match, coach Filipe Luís praised the striker's performance and highlighted his importance to the squad.


Filipe Luís on Samuel Lino at Flamengo: "He's exactly the kind of player we needed"


"For me, there's no such thing as a guaranteed starter. No one is guaranteed a starting spot without showing performance on the field and dedication on a daily basis. But we all know Samuel's quality , the hierarchy he brings, and how decisive he is when he gets the ball. He's exactly the kind of player we needed for this position," the coach stated.


Filipe Luís also emphasized the forward's potential impact in upcoming matches: "He's a disruptive player, capable of being decisive in the opposition's box. The pitch speaks, and whoever is better will play ," he added during the post-match press conference.

HOW WAS SAMUEL LINO'S DEBUT?


Samuel Lino entered the field 13 minutes into the second half, replacing Matheus Gonçalves. He quickly became the team's standout player: he took four shots, created two clear chances, and completed three dribbles , demonstrating speed, attacking presence, and personality in his first game for the red-and-black team.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME

With no time for regrets, Flamengo is already preparing for the next round of the Brazilian Championship .

Flamengo rejected a €15 million (around R$96 million) offer made by RB Leipzig, from Germany, for defender Léo Ortiz. The move took place this Thursday (31), the day that Rubro-Negro faced Atlético-MG in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.


Flamengo's Léo Ortiz on proposal: "But my mind is completely focused on the game"


After the match at Maracanã, Ortiz spoke to the press in the mixed zone and discussed the interest from other clubs. Although pleased with the interest, the defender assured that he was focused on his current situation with Flamengo : " Of course, I'm happy when clubs of this size show interest . It shows that the work is being done well. But my mind is completely focused on the game, on the present, on what's happening day to day. With the string of matches we have, there's barely time to think about anything else," said the number 3.


The defender also emphasized that transfer matters are the responsibility of his staff, led by his sister and his agent. Léo Ortiz also reinforced his confidence in his team, but left the entire situation out of his hands.

"I'm fortunate to have a very competent team. My sister practically acts as my manager and, together with my agent, takes care of everything . Of course, when there's time, we talk and exchange ideas, but I trust them completely. They know what's best for my career," he added.


PHYSICAL SITUATION AND SEQUENCE OF GAMES

With a busy streak of games, Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira have formed Flamengo's starting defensive duo. When asked about the possibility of rest, Ortiz downplayed the possibility of being rested . Without Danilo, the duo has played every match.

"Filipe always consults with us, in addition to the data coming from the physical department, physiology, and medical team. I can speak for myself and Léo: we're in very good physical shape . If there's any kind of rest, it will be the coach's decision, based on information from the committee. But personally, I'm not thinking about that at the moment," he assured.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME

After the 1-0 defeat to Atlético-MG in the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (03), against Ceará , at Arena Castelão. The match is valid for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship and is scheduled for 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
