REINFORCEMENT! FIND OUT HOW MUCH CARLINHOS COSTED FLAMENGO AND THE TYPE OF DEAL THAT RUBRO-NEGRO DID

Flamengo is attentive to market opportunities and continues to seek reinforcements. In the meantime, the red and black board agreed to sign center forward Carlinhos, from Nova Iguaçu. For the 27-year-old player, the red-black club paid 600 thousand euros (around R$3.2 million at current prices).

The striker had a contract until October 2025 with Nova Iguaçu. However, the Baixada Fluminense club agreed to negotiate the player. Thus, Carlinhos signs with Flamengo for three seasons, that is, until 2027.

INVESTMENTS IN THE SEASON

In the current season, in addition to the recent one < a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/de-olho-no-rival-president-do-nova-iguacu-indica-venda-de-jante-para-o-internacional" target="_blank"> signing Carlinhos, Flamengo has already invested R$160 million in the first transfer window. Thus, Mengão brought Nicolas De La Cruz, full-back Matías Viña and defender Léo Ortíz to join the red-and-black squad.

BRAZ TALKS ABOUT HIRING

Vice-president of football at Flamengo, Marcos Braz spoke about the new signing. In an interview before the first game of the Carioca Championship final, the director revealed that Mengão had already been keeping an eye on the striker.

— We had been monitoring him for over a month. We could use the political correctness of waiting for the championship to pass. But this put the signing at risk because there were other clubs after the player -, he began.

— So between taking a politically correct position and defending Flamengo's interests, we prefer to defend Flamengo's interests anyway with all this controversy of signing the player the day before the championship final. But the player ran like crazy, super professional. He is a player who can help us in the Brazilian Championship, in a second phase with Flamengo passing in the Libertadores he can also help. He arrives with a three-year contract - said Marcos Braz.

CARIOCA HIGHLIGHTS

Carlinhos is one of the main highlights of the Carioca Championship. Second top scorer in the competition, the striker has scored eight goals in 13 games played in the state championship, behind Pedro, a future clubmate. This is because Mengão's number 9 has scored 11 goals and is the state tournament's top scorer.
