‘New signing’ named in Flamengo squad for the first time, sends a message | OneFootball

Back to Flamengo after loan, Victor Hugo is on the related list

Flamengo will have the 'reinforcement' of an old acquaintance this Sunday (03), against Ceará, in the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. For the first time after the loan to Turkish football, Victor Hugo is related by coach Filipe Luís and may make his re-debut with the Sacred Mantle at Castelão Stadium.

On social media, Flamengo's youth celebrated the opportunity and posted a picture of the bible with the text "faith". Victor Hugo has been at the disposal of Rubro-Negro since July 1, when the loan to Goztepe (TUR) ended. More than a month later, the young man got an opportunity with Filipe Luís.

VICTOR HUGO ALMOST LEFT FLAMENGO FOR FREE?

Victor Hugo has a contract with Flamengo until 2028, but the player was close to leaving the club for free. After all, the technical committee and director José Boto did not count on the athlete. Thus, the club decided to loan the midfielder to Famalicão (POR) without costs, maintaining 50% of the economic rights.

However, due to the strong pressure from the fans and part of the Flamengo board, the deal was undone. As Victor Hugo is 21 years old and has already received a proposal of over R$ 100 million from English football in 2023, there was a consensus to give another chance to the youth from Ninho.

WHO ARE VICTOR HUGO'S COMPETITORS?

If he returns to being related, the return to the fields for Flamengo will be more difficult. After all, Victor Hugo competes for a position with Allan, Arrascaeta, Evertton Araújo, Jorginho, Matheus Gonçalves and Saúl, who are on the list for the game with Ceará. The match takes place at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) at Arena Castelão, in Fortaleza.
