Which player signed a million-dollar contract with Flamengo?

Flamengo has been active in its youth divisions and signed the first professional contract with Gabriel Werneck, a goalkeeper who is only 16 years old. In the new deal, the homegrown talent belongs to Mengão for three years, with a release clause set at 30 million euros (about R$ 189.78 million at the current exchange rate).

The early signing of the professional contract with Gabriel Werneck happened because the goalkeeper has attracted interest from European clubs. In addition, the athlete is considered one of the main prospects for the position at Flamengo. The release clause of R$ 189 million is for the international market. The information comes from influencer ‘Flazoeiro’ and was confirmed by the Coluna do Fla team.

WHO IS GABRIEL WERNECK, FLAMENGO'S GOALKEEPER?

Gabriel Werneck is the under-17 goalkeeper for Flamengo. This season, the young keeper was even one of the highlights in a match against Internacional, for the Copa do Brasil in his category. On that occasion, the number 1 for the Rubro-Negro saved three penalties, helping Mengão advance to the next round of the competition.

IS GABRIEL WERNECK ALREADY TRAINING WITH FLAMENGO'S PROFESSIONALS?

So far, Gabriel Werneck has not yet joined the professional squad of Flamengo. However, if he continues to perform well and with the contract now signed, the tendency is for the goalkeeper to start getting opportunities in training sessions led by Filipe Luís.
