Matheus Gonçalves traveled to undergo medical exams last week. With the 'ok', Al Ahli made the announcement of the athlete, who will be the new number 20 of the club. Finally, to take the midfielder from Flamengo, the Arab team had to invest a millionaire amount.
Al Ahli paid about 8 million euros (R$ 51 million at the current exchange rate) to Flamengo to have the player. Given the investment made, the Arab team has the right to the total value on the midfielder, that is, 100% of the pass.
Matheus Gonçalves is one of the recent talents revealed in the base of Flamengo. Thus, even being multi-champion in the base of Mengão, the athlete could not establish himself among the professionals of the club. Thus, during this period, the player was loaned to Red Bull Bragantino, in 2023.
In the current season, Matheus Gonçalves lost space with Filipe Luís and, therefore, asked to be integrated into Flamengo's under-20 team. Thus, before leaving Mengão, the midfielder won the world champion title of the category with Rubro-Negro's victory over Barcelona (ESP), on penalties, at Maracanã.
