Last Wednesday (23), Flamengo announced midfielder Saúl Ñíguez as the first reinforcement of the current transfer window. After signing a three-and-a-half-year contract, the Red-Black team will present the Spanish player at a press conference this Friday (25) at the Ninho do Urubu.
As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will be present at the press conference to introduce the new reinforcement of Flamengo. Additionally, on YouTube, the event will be broadcast live, which is scheduled to start right after the team's training at the CT.
In summary, as mentioned earlier, the presentation of Saúl Ñíguez will take place after this Friday's (25) training at the Ninho do Urubu. Remember that the activity is scheduled to start at 10 am (Brasília time). After the training, the journalists present at the CT will be able to talk to the player.
It's worth remembering that Flamengo and midfielder Saúl Ñíguez signed a contract valid for three years and a half, i.e., until the end of 2028. Now, the player and the club are waiting for the athlete's name to be regularized in the Brazilian Football Confederation's (CBF) Daily Information Bulletin (BID).
Besides all this, it's essential to emphasize that Saúl Ñíguez was hired by Flamengo without any costs. This is because the player terminated his contract with Atlético de Madrid (ESP) before signing with the Most Beloved team. Therefore, the athlete was free in the market to close a deal with the Red-Black team.
Saúl Ñíguez's debut for Flamengo will depend on when the player will be regularized in the BID. After that, the technical commission of Filipe Luís will evaluate the athlete's physical condition. In this way, the midfielder should only watch the next game of the season.
This is because Flamengo will already be on the field on Sunday (27), when they face Atlético-MG, in a game valid for the 17th round of the Brazilian Championship. The teams will face off starting at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. With this, Saúl Ñíguez should attend the stadium to have his first contact with the Red-Black Nation.
