Flamengo is very close to signing midfielder Jorginho for the middle of the year. Despite being a top-level player, his adaptation to Filipe Luís 's scheme is one of the most debated points, as the red-black midfield has been a solid sector.

At 33 years old, Jorginho is no longer at his physical peak . As the Rubro-Negro's scheme demands intensity in the midfield, there are doubts about how he will be able to fit in without compromising the team's dynamics.

He's a player who I hope will have a big impact" - Mansur.

JORGINHO AND PULGAR TOGETHER

Initially, many thought that Jorginho would replace Pulgar in the starting line-up. However, commentator Carlos Eduardo Mansur believes that the Italian-Brazilian could play alongside the Chilean , rather than being an alternative to him.

"I think he could even, for example, play alongside Pulgar. Not necessarily as an alternative to Pulgar. Filipe often uses two defensive midfielders when Flamengo builds plays, who stay behind the play most of the time. And one of Jorginho's great characteristics is his very good passing ability, his very good construction skills", analyzed Mansur.

In addition to creating plays, Mansur highlights that Jorginho can also contribute defensively, closing spaces and ensuring balance for the team.

"I think he 'll be very useful in terms of building up the game . Of course, taking up space, defending, all that. But even at this stage of his career, I think he's a player who I expect to have a big impact," he added.

WHAT IS MISSING TO CLOSE?

Flamengo made significant progress in negotiations with Jorginho after a meeting on Sunday (30). The biggest obstacle was the financial agreement, but the parties reached a common denominator. Now, the club awaits final approval from president Bap. Football director José Boto will present the negotiation figures to the president, who needs to give the go-ahead for the officialization of the contract, which should last three years .

According to ge, a new meeting between the parties is scheduled to take place by the end of the week to finalize the details. The expectation is that the outcome will happen in the next few days . Mengão, however, should have competition for the signing of the midfielder and Arab clubs are already considering investing in the player.
