Flamengo is close to completing the signing of Samuel Lino from Atlético de Madrid (ESP)

Flamengo is close to finalizing the signing of the Brazilian forward Samuel Lino, currently with Atlético de Madrid, Spain. Amid the excitement on social media, the player liked a post on Instagram suggesting that the red-black team should sign the Frenchman Antoine Griezmann.

“Flamengo taking Saúl and Samuel Lino from Atlético de Madrid. Unfortunately, Griezmann won't be possible, as he is already a player for Grêmio”, posted the page ‘Se Ficar Puto é Pior’ on Instagram. Additionally, the image featured the Brazilian forward, the Frenchman, and Saúl Ñíguez. Thus, Samuel Lino liked the post, generating significant buzz among Flamengo fans.

WHAT'S THE CONTEXT?

In 2023, after the departure of Uruguayan Luis Suárez from Grêmio, journalist Vinicius Leal commented during a program that the team from Rio Grande do Sul was seeking to sign the Frenchman Antoine Griezmann. However, the news did not materialize, and the moment became a meme on the internet among rival fans.

AND WHAT ABOUT FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

Flamengo has secured the signing of Saúl Ñíguez, who was developed by Atlético de Madrid, and is very close to finalizing the deal for Samuel Lino. The red-black team is considering offering 25 million euros (R$ 162 million at the current exchange rate) to conclude the talks with the Spanish club for the Brazilian forward.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

While the management tries to finalize the signing of Samuel Lino, the Flamengo squad remains focused on the upcoming commitments of the season. The red-black team takes the field this Sunday (27) to face Atlético-MG at Maracanã, at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship.
