Flamengo receive offer from Real Valladolid for João Pedro

Flamengo could lose one of their academy’s crown jewels as European clubs continue to heavily scout their youth categories.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, second-division Spanish side Real Valladolid are keen to bring in 18-year-old João Pedro.

João Pedro recently signed a professional contract, however, his initial pro deal is set to expire in July, so Flamengo will either have to re-sign the player or risk losing him for free this summer.

The player will be free to sign a pre-contract agreement beginning in February so Valladolid are attempting to form a partnership with Flamengo, offering to take him on but allow the Rubro-Negro to retain 50% of his economic rights.

The tendency would be for Ronaldo Fenômeno’s side to initially add João Pedro to the Valladolid ‘B’ side.
