Petrolul Ploiestil's Midfielder from Romania, Fabrício Baiano Wishes to Wear Flamengo's Jersey

In recent months, Flamengo has signed players who dreamed of wearing the Sacred Mantle, such as Danilo, Jorginho, and Alex Sandro, renowned names in world football. However, 'lesser-known' athletes also wish to wear the jersey of the biggest club in Latin America. This is the case of Fabrício Baiano, a midfielder for Petrolul Ploiestil in Romania, who has played for Vasco, Coritiba, Fortaleza, and Marítimo (POR).

“Who doesn't dream of playing for Flamengo? Flamengo is Flamengo, every player has that dream. But I think the time has passed for me,” acknowledged Fabrício Baiano in an interview with the portal ‘MundoBola Flamengo’. The midfielder is 33 years old and is currently a substitute in the Romanian team.

Fabrício Baiano has one more year on his contract with Petrolul Ploiestil. In other words, if he doesn't renew, he will be out of contract in June 2026. Despite being born in Camacã, Bahia, the midfielder made his professional debut for Vasco in 2013. Additionally, the athlete has played 22 matches for Brazil's youth national team.

WHICH TEAMS HAS FABRÍCIO BAIANO PLAYED FOR?

Fabrício left Vasco in 2014 when he signed with Novo Hamburgo-RS. Subsequently, the midfielder played for Coritiba and Macaé-RJ before continuing his career in Europe. In the 2017/18 season, he played for Marítimo (POR) and then for Gençlerbirligi (TUR) and Caykur (TUR). He returned to Brazil in 2022, the year he signed with Fortaleza. In his recent clubs, the Bahian wore the jerseys of Londrina, Sagamihara (JAP), and is now with the Romanian team.
