What happened between the Flamengo fan and Carrascal?

Midfielder Jorge Carrascal arrived in Rio de Janeiro last Wednesday (30th), and was warmly welcomed by the rubro-negros. One fan, in particular, went wild over the player’s gesture, as he is very close to becoming the newest signing for Flamengo.

The Coluna do Fla team was present at Galeão Airport, following the details of Carrascal’s arrival. In his first contact with the rubro-negros, the Colombian midfielder greeted the fans and signed the shirt of ‘Joinha VAR’, a fan who is a regular figure at Flamengo games at Maracanã. Finally, another Flamengo supporter managed to take a photo with the player.

IS CARRASCAL ALREADY A FLAMENGO PLAYER?

Carrascal is getting closer and closer to becoming the newest signing for Flamengo. After arriving in the ‘Marvelous City’, the midfielder will undergo medical exams this Thursday (31st). If he gets the medical ‘ok’, the player will meet with José Boto to visit the Ninho do Urubu training center and sign a contract with Mengão.

It’s important to note that Flamengo and Carrascal had already reached an agreement a few months ago. However, the negotiation dragged on because of Dynamo Moscow (RUS). After a long period of talks, the Rubro-Negro managed to convince the Russian club to release the player. To secure the signing, Fla will pay 12 million euros (about R$ 76 million at the current exchange rate) for a four-and-a-half-year contract.

CAN CARRASCAL MAKE HIS DEBUT FOR FLAMENGO TODAY?

Carrascal will still undergo medical exams this Thursday (31st). Given this situation, Flamengo will not yet be able to count on the midfielder for the match against Atlético-MG, in the Copa do Brasil. However, after signing the contract during the day, the player is preparing to be presented to the fans alongside Samuel Lino at Maracanã.

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT GAME?

Still without Carrascal, Flamengo takes the field this Thursday (31st) to face Atlético-MG, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The match kicks off at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. In short, Coluna do Fla TV brings details and behind-the-scenes coverage of the match with on-site reporting by Leo José and Rodrigo Lima. Finally, SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the game.
