Garoto do Ninho André Luiz, who belongs to Rubro Negro and plays on loan for Estrela Amadora (POR), is in Red Bull Bragantino's sights for the 2024 season. The team from Bragança Paulista has been interested in the striker since midway through of 2022, through Thiago Scuro, director of the club.
According to findings from the Coluna do Fla report, the São Paulo team intends to sign André Luiz for 2024. The 21-year-old striker's loan to Estrela Amadora is for just one season. Therefore, until June this year he will play for the Portuguese team.
The player is managed by OTB Sports and has 11 games and two goals for the Portuguese team in the current season. André did not have space in Mais Querido's professional squad in 2023, however, he became an important part of Estrela Amadora's squad, which is also evaluating a proposal to Mais Querido to have the striker permanently.
ANDRÉ'S PASSAGE LUIZ NO FLAMENGO
The young son of Ninho has a contract with Rubro Negro until May 2025. However, the two parties have not yet negotiated a renewal of the contract. Remembering that during 2023 for the Mais Querido professional team, the player played only five games (two for the Brasileiro and three for Carioca), scoring one goal.
FLAMENGO WANTS BRAGANTINO PLAYERS
If Red Bull Bragantino wants to sign players from Mais Querido, Flamengo is also interested in athletes from the Bragança Paulista team. This is because Rubro Negro is trying to sign defender Léo Ortiz and left-back Juninho Capixaba, however, the São Paulo team is asking for around R$100 million for the pair.
