Saúl Ñíguez and Emerson Royal unveiled before Flamengo v Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Right-back Emerson Royal arrives in Rio this Saturday (26); Saúl already training with Flamengo squad

New signings for Flamengo, Saúl Ñíguez and Emerson Royal will be presented to the rubro-negra fans at Maracanã this Sunday (27), before the match against Atlético-MG. The right-back, in fact, arrives in Rio de Janeiro this Saturday (26).

Flamengo expects a full house at Maracanã to welcome the new signings, who promise to further raise the technical level of Filipe Luís’s team in the final stretch of the season. Saúl Ñíguez has already signed a contract with Mengão and is training with his teammates at Ninho do Urubu.

WHAT ARE THE EXPECTATIONS FOR SAÚL’S DEBUT AT FLAMENGO?

Saúl Ñíguez will give a press conference this Friday (25) at Ninho do Urubu, in his official presentation as a Flamengo player. The conversation with journalists will take place right after the squad’s training session. Days earlier, the club had already secured the midfielder’s signing at no cost, after he terminated his contract with Atlético de Madrid (ESP) and became a free agent to sign with the Rubro-Negro. Coluna do Fla TV is closely following everything and will broadcast the event live on YouTube, allowing fans to watch the Spanish reinforcement’s first moments at the club.

AND WHAT ABOUT EMERSON ROYAL?

Emerson Royal signed with Flamengo for 9 million euros (about R$ 58 million), after the club reached an agreement with Milan (ITA). At 26 years old, the player arrives to replace Wesley, who was sold to Roma (ITA). Although Besiktas (TUR) had shown interest in signing him, the Rubro-Negro came in at the last minute, won the player’s preference, and closed the deal.

WILL FLAMENGO SIGN MORE PLAYERS?

The transfer window remains open until September 2, and Flamengo is still active in the market. After signing Saúl Ñíguez and Emerson Royal, the club is negotiating with forward Samuel Lino, from Atlético de Madrid (ESP), to further strengthen the squad in the final stretch of the season.
