The striker, who is from Nova Iguaçu, signed a loan contract until the middle of 2025, similar to Mengão. Filipe Luís led the group of young champions of the Copa Rio U17 this year. Your current club lost in the group stage.

– I'm feeling really good. I was extremely hugged and welcomed when I arrived here, as if I were already at home. So, my expectation is the best possible. I want to find my place and win titles with this great club, declared the 17-year-old player, Fluminense's new signing.


The player caught the attention of Flamengo after Jorge scored a goal against his new club, Nova Iguaçu, for tournament player Guilherme Embry in 2023. The player was also the second top scorer in the championship, scoring nine goals in eight games. Mengão and other Brazilian football clubs were interested in the positive numbers.


Jorge did not achieve the expected success during his brief spell at Flamengo. The striker only played three times during the competition, in which he was champion with coach Filipe Luís. When he beat Resende 6-0, he entered the second stage, but lost to Botafogo 3-2 and Nova Iguaçu 1-0, respectively. Both players started as starters.

After the title, the Mengão player and coach of the club's youth team left the under-17s and took over the under-20s. In the last match of the category, he won heroically 3-2. The team led by Filipe Luís is in first place in the Guanabara Cup with great success. 18 points, with eight wins in six games.
