Forward Petterson had his visa regularized and leaves this Thursday (25) for Portugal. Flamengo loaned the 20-year-old player to Estrela Amadora, a team in Portugal's first division. The loan contract between the Portuguese club and Mengão runs until June 2025.

If Estrela Amadora chooses to buy the player, they will have to pay the amount of €750,000 (R$4.4 million ) for 60% of Petterson's economic rights. The information is from Flazoeiro. With 9 goals in 30 games in the 2023 season, the player won three titles in Mengão's youth categories: the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa do Brasil under-17, both in 2021, and the Brasileirão Under-20 in 2023. After a During his loan period at Athletico Paranaense, Petterson packed his bags for Portugal.

At the Paraná club, he debuted with a goal, but an act of indiscipline caused him to be removed and no longer play. He even had a new loan to Avaí, which didn't happen. Now he will have another chance to prove himself.

The club finished the last season of the Portuguese League in 14th place, with seven wins, 15 defeats and 12 draws. In the League Cup, the team was eliminated in the first round; in the Portuguese Cup, Estrela Amadora fell through in the fourth round.

The result in the Portuguese Championship, however, was considered satisfactory. This is because the team returned to compete in the local elite after 15 years. The objective was maintenance.

In the new team, Petterson can expect to find many Brazilians among his teammates. The club has names like André Luiz and Daniel Cabral (both ex-Flamengo), Bruno Brígido (ex-Criciúma) and Léo Jabá (ex-Corinthians). Currently the club plays in the pre-season of European football.

The young striker Lorran, just 18 years old, is going through a moment of transition in his career at Flamengo. After losing space in the professional team under the command of Tite, Lorran returned to playing for the youth team. Last Wednesday, he was decisive in scoring the first goal in the 2-1 victory over Botafogo, in a game valid for the Brazilian Under-20 Championship, held in Gávea.

Lorran emerged as one of the great promises from Flamengoduring the period of the Copa América, when he replaced star Arrascaeta. During this period, he met the fans' expectations and was embraced by the red and black public. However, as is common in the trajectory of young athletes, Lorran began to fluctuate in his performance. In the final stretch of his participation in the main team, he became the target of criticism and boos at Maracanã, which led the technical committee to keep him. In Flamengo's last two games, he wasn't even mentioned.

FLAMENGO PREPARES JEWEL FOR THE CLUB'S BASE

Within the club, this oscillation is seen as a natural part of the development of a young player who is in the process of transitioning from basic to professional. To minimize the negative impacts of this phase, Flamengo developed a special project focused on shielding Lorran and enhancing its development. The club is aware of the environment around the player, especially after the episode of booing in the game against Cruzeiro, when Lorran expressed his frustration on social media with the phrase: "I want them to doubt".
