Carrascal surprises as he reveals why he accepted Flamengo’s offer | OneFootball

Jorge Carrascal has not yet debuted with the Flamengo jersey

After months of negotiations with Dynamo Moscow (RUS), Flamengo finalized the signing of Jorge Carrascal. Thus, this Monday (04), the player was officially presented at CT Ninho do Urubu. Although he has not yet debuted with the Sacred Mantle, the Colombian ‘surprised’ and chose Mengão as the best decision of his career.

— The truth is that I came to Flamengo with a purpose, to work, compete, and achieve the best for the club. The short-term goal is to play, to add matches. I will work, focus on the clear objective, and it will depend on the coach regarding the lineup — he said, before concluding:

— As everyone knows, Flamengo is a very big team. A South American team that means a lot. For me, it is a dream to play in Brazil, so I believe I made the best decision for my career — Carrascal concluded.

HOW LONG WILL CARRASCAL BE A FLAMENGO PLAYER?

It is important to note that Jorge Carrascal signed with Flamengo for four years, that is, until mid-2029. At Mais Querido, the midfielder is the new number 15 of the squad and arrives to strengthen Filipe Luís’ team. Finally, Rubro-Negro shelled out 12 million euros (about R$ 77.1 million) to sign the player from Dynamo Moscow.

CAN JORGE CARRASCAL PLAY IN FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

Even with the contract signed, Carrascal still cannot play for Flamengo, since his name has not yet been registered in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). Thus, the player will be cheering on Mengão as they face Atlético-MG, which takes place at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) this Wednesday (06), for the Copa do Brasil.
