Wallace Yan’s heartfelt farewell to Matheus Gonçalves at Flamengo | OneFootball

Matheus Gonçalves leaves Flamengo to strengthen Saudi football

Flamengo has agreed to sell Matheus Gonçalves to Al Ahli (SAU) in this transfer window. As a result, the Red and Black will receive 8 million euros (R$ 50 million) for the midfielder. A friend of the player both on and off the field, Wallace Yan posted an emotional farewell to the young player.

“Brother, I don’t know how to describe everything, but may God bless you on this new journey. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, all the advice and support you gave me. May God bless you on this new journey,” said Wallace Yan in a post on social media.

What is Matheus Gonçalves’ situation at Flamengo?

Matheus Gonçalves had a contract with Flamengo until December 2027. However, the midfielder had not been getting many opportunities this season. Under coach Filipe Luís, the 19-year-old played in only 15 matches, in which he scored two goals. Therefore, the player agreed to leave Mengão.

Are more departures expected?

Besides Matheus Gonçalves, Flamengo is about to say goodbye to another promising youth player. That’s because Pisa (ITA) is close to finalizing the loan of Lorran and will pay 500 thousand euros (just over R$ 3 million) to Fla. In addition, the clubs have established a purchase clause of 4 million euros (R$ 25.2 million). Finally, Mengão will retain 50% of the young player’s economic rights.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

While Matheus Gonçalves prepares to leave Ninho do Urubu, Wallace Yan remains available to Filipe Luís. This Sunday (31), Flamengo faces Grêmio at 4pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring you the best coverage on the internet.
