Considered as a great promise on the left side, Jorge, revealed by Flamengo, is having difficulty establishing himself in national football. This past Tuesday (24), the 28-year-old player was released by CRB, from Alagoas, runner-up in the Brasileirão Série B. The athlete was being underutilized, with just ten games and two assists in the season.

Jorge had his contract terminated after coach Hélio dos Anjos took charge of the club, which was announced on Friday (20). The coach assessed the squad and decided that he would not count on the left back. Thus, the player's time at CRB lasted just five months. REVEALED BY FLAMENGO AND CONSIDERED A JEWEL OF THE LEFT LATERAL

After making his entire base at Most beloved, Jorge made his professional debut in 2015. The young man surprised by placing the then Colombian national team full-back Pablo Armeno on the bench. After standing out in 2016, the player went to Monaco (FRA), where he was a starter and French champion alongside Mbappé.


In 2019, Jorge played on loan at Porto (POR), Santos and Basel (SUI), until the permanent signing of Palmeiras, in 2021. Subsequently, the full-back's career went downhill, with unsuccessful spells at Fluminense, Santos and CRB.
