Flamengo agree Victor Hugo's move to Santos, find out contract length | OneFootball

Victor Hugo travels this Sunday (31) to sign loan deal with Santos for just over one season

Flamengo has another player leaving the squad. That’s because the Rubro-Negro agreed, this Friday (29), to loan midfielder Victor Hugo to Santos. With the deal in place, the youth academy product of Mais Querido will travel this Sunday (31) to sign with the São Paulo club until December 2026.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the negotiation for Victor Hugo’s loan was conducted by the president of Flamengo. This move contradicts the idea that Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as BAP, was reluctant about the transaction due to the ‘Thiago Maia case’.

How many matches has Victor Hugo played for Flamengo this year?

After returning from a loan to Goztepe (TUR), the initial plan was to loan the midfielder to Famalicão (POR). However, the deal caused discontent among the club’s directors, which prevented the departure of the player, who came up through the club’s youth ranks.

Since then, Victor Hugo was reintegrated into the squad, but only played once, featuring for just five minutes against Ceará. On that occasion, the match in the 18th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro ended in a 1-1 draw at Castelão.

Has the midfielder won anything with Flamengo?

Before the loan, the youngster played an important role in Dorival Júnior’s team in 2022, when he won the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores. In 2023, he even became a starter under Jorge Sampaoli, but with Tite’s arrival, Victor Hugo became the last option, playing only a few minutes.
