Flamengo is keeping an eye on the ball market and looking for new possibilities for its midfield; Porto holder is the big target of the red-negro
O Flamengo should stir up the ball market for the 2023 sequence. The Flemish board wants to give Victor Pereira a new steering wheel, and Matheus Uribe is the club’s main target. In the final stretch of the contract with the Portuguese team, the Reds hope to reinforce the sector with a name of experience, and that works in favor of the Colombian. In this way, the Rio team must advance in an attack by the midfielder.
According to the website “Globo Esporte”, there is still no negotiation between Flamengo, Uribe and Porto. Even so, the conditions to sign a contract with Uribe are seen as pleasant, since he has a bond with the Portuguese team until the next 30th of June. Therefore, the midfielder can already sign a pre-contract with any other club and that makes the Gávea team increasingly interested in negotiating.
Matheus Uribe has great experience in South American football and has played for teams in Argentina and Colombia. In addition, he had an important spell at América in Mexico before moving to Porto for R$52 million. Since 2019 in the Portuguese team, he has always stood out and won seven national titles for the Dragons.
Apart from all this resume for South American and European football, the 31-year-old midfielder accumulates passages for the Colombian national team. With the yellow shirt, Matheus Uribe participated in 43 games and also scored five goals. He was in the campaign that did not take the Colombians to the World Cup in Qatar.
For the steering wheel position, Vítor Pereira has some good options. Before the possible arrival of Uribe, the team has names like Thiago Maia, Erick Pulgar, Gerson and Vidal. The duo cited last can play more than one role in midfield, while the first two act more as a defensive midfielder. The Colombian would arrive to compete for a vacancy in the sector that protects Flamengo’s defense.
