Arrascaeta’s replacement? Carrascal reveals his best role at Flamengo | OneFootball

Jorge Carrascal is Flamengo's fourth reinforcement in this transfer window

Flamengo officially presented the signing of Jorge Carrascal, the team's new midfielder, on Monday (04). The player joins the Mengão to reinforce the team led by coach Filipe Luís. Although he is considered a player who can compete with Arrascaeta, the Colombian revealed that they have different characteristics.

— I think Arrascaeta may have a different characteristic, but he is a great player. We know who Arrascaeta is, but we are different players, who play in different ways. The lineup will depend on how the coach wants to set up the team -, said Carrascal.

CAN CARRASCAL PLAY AGAINST ATLÉTICO-MG?

No! Due to the delay of Dínamo de Moscou (RUS) in sending the documents, Flamengo was unable to regularize Carrascal for the round of 16 of the Brazil Cup. After all, the Colombian needs to be registered in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID). Therefore, the expectation is that the midfielder will make his debut next Saturday (09), against Mirassol.

HOW MUCH DID FLAMENGO PAY FOR CARRASCAL?

To sign Carrascal, Flamengo paid 12 million euros (approximately R$ 77 million) to Dínamo. Additionally, the negotiation took time to be concluded, as the transaction involved three parties: Mengão, the Russians, and Atlético-MG. This is because the Europeans would only release the midfielder after closing the signing of Rubens, from the Minas Gerais team, which was finalized last Friday (01).

WHAT NUMBER WILL CARRASCAL WEAR AT FLAMENGO?

Thus, Carrascal signed a four-year contract with Flamengo, until July 2029. Furthermore, the midfielder, who became the fourth reinforcement of the Mengão in this transfer window, will wear the number 15 jersey on Filipe Luís' team.
