Samuel Lino lands in Rio to sign contract with Flamengo | OneFootball

Samuel Lino is Flamengo’s third signing in this transfer window

Flamengo remains active in the transfer market, seeking to strengthen Filipe Luís’s squad. After securing the signings of Saúl Ñíguez and Emerson Royal, the Most Beloved is close to announcing the arrival of Samuel Lino. The forward even landed in Rio de Janeiro on the morning of this Tuesday (29th) to sign a contract with Mengão.

Thus, Samuel Lino landed at Galeão Airport shortly before 10 a.m. (Brasília time). The new Mengão striker will now head to CT Ninho do Urubu to undergo medical exams and, if approved, will sign a contract with Filipe Luís’s team.

HOW MUCH WILL FLAMENGO PAY FOR SAMUEL LINO?

It is worth noting that Flamengo will shell out 22 million euros (about R$ 143 million at the current exchange rate) for the signing of Samuel Lino, plus up to 2 million euros (R$ 13 million) in performance bonuses. In this way, the forward becomes the most expensive signing in Mengão’s history, surpassing ‘Charly’ Alcaraz, who cost R$ 110.6 million in 2024.

FOR HOW MANY YEARS WILL SAMUEL LINO SIGN WITH FLAMENGO?

Flamengo is preparing to make a major investment in Samuel Lino and, for this reason, will sign a long-term contract with the striker. Thus, the player will have a contract with Mengão for four seasons, that is, until mid-2029.

WHAT ROLE IS SAMUEL LINO EXPECTED TO PLAY AT FLAMENGO?

Just like Saúl Ñíguez, Samuel Lino is another kind of ‘joker’ player. That’s because, although he is originally a forward, the Brazilian has played as a wing-back in recent years, mainly due to Diego Simeone’s tactical system. At Flamengo, however, the expectation is that he will be used on the left side of the attack, competing for a spot with Michael and Cebolinha.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE MORE SIGNINGS LINED UP?

Amid Samuel Lino’s arrival in Rio de Janeiro, Flamengo still has more signings ‘in the pipeline’ for this transfer window. One of them, in fact, is Jorge Carrascal, who is expected to land in Rio de Janeiro this Wednesday (30th) to sign with Mengão. After months of negotiations with Dynamo Moscow (RUS), the Rubro-Negro managed to convince the Russian club.
