Flamengo agree Victor Hugo’s move to Santos, find out contract length | OneFootball

Victor Hugo travels this Sunday (31) to sign loan deal with Santos for just over one season

Flamengo has another player leaving the squad. That’s because the Rubro-Negro finalized, this Friday (29), the loan of midfielder Victor Hugo to Santos. As a result, the homegrown talent from Mais Querido’s youth academy will travel this Sunday (31) to sign with the São Paulo club until December 2026.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the negotiation for Victor Hugo’s loan was handled by the president of Flamengo. This move contradicts the idea that Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as BAP, was reluctant about the deal due to the ‘Thiago Maia case’.

How many games has Victor Hugo played for Flamengo this year?

After returning from a loan to Goztepe (TUR), the initial idea was to loan the midfielder to Famalicão (POR). However, the deal caused dissatisfaction among the club’s directors, which prevented the departure of the player, who came up through the club’s youth ranks.

Since then, Victor Hugo was reintegrated into the squad, but only played once, spending just five minutes on the field against Ceará. On that occasion, the 18th round match of the Campeonato Brasileiro ended in a 1-1 draw at Castelão.

Has the midfielder won anything with Flamengo?

Before the loan, the youngster played an important role in Dorival Júnior’s team in 2022, when he won the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores. In 2023, he even became a starter under Jorge Sampaoli, but with Tite’s arrival, Victor Hugo became the last option, playing only a few minutes.
