Flamengo is still active in the transfer market, not only in football but also in the basketball team for the next season. Thus, the red-black team forwarded the hiring of young shooting guard Alex Negrete, 23, currently at Instituto de Córdoba (ARG).
According to the Argentine newspaper 'La Voz', Alex Negrete's agent communicated to Instituto de Córdoba the athlete's desire to leave the team to head to Flamengo. Finally, coach Sergio Hernández contacted the Argentine team's management to discuss the negotiation.
Alex Negrete is 23 years old and started his career at Ciclista Olímpico (ARG), where he stayed for two seasons before closing with Instituto de Córdoba in 2024. Finally, the athlete had averages of 13.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, with 53.2% shooting from two points and 33.8% from three-pointers.
Thus, with the hiring of Alex Negrete, Flamengo should close the squad for the next basketball season. The red-black team will compete in the Champions League of the Americas, the New Basketball Brazil (NBB), and the Super 8 Cup, depending on the classification in the national league.
Flamengo is commanded by Sergio Hernandez and already has almost the entire team defined. Alexey and Franco Baralle are the point guards. Daniel Owenu is the shooting guard. For the position of wings, Shaq Johnson, Gui Deodato, and Jhonatan Luz are the options. Kayo Gonçalves and Markeith Cummings act as wing forwards. Finally, Ruan Miranda and Wesley Castro are the centers of the Most Beloved.
