The 28-year-old will team up in midfield with Arturo Vidal at Mengão.
The uncertainty for Erick Pulgar over his sporting future is over. After his stay at Fiorentina, where he would not be considered for this season, the midfielder landed in Rio de Janeiro tonight to seal his signing with Flamengo a team that has just recruited Arturo Vidal.
These were turbulent weeks for the former UC player, after the accusation of a woman who claims to have been sexually abused during a party organized at her house . The Brazilian club asked for the background of the case, but he dismissed them and the footballer will be presented in the next few hours.
No declaration on arrival
The Chilean, 28 years old, arrival around 9:00 p.m. from Brazil to Rio de Janeiro airport before the expectation of the media who were waiting for the new reinforcement of European football. Upon his arrival, he was received by club officials, who accompanied him at all times. Unlike Arturo Vidal, Pulgar made no statement and quickly left the scene.
The Antofagasta man arrives in Fla in exchange for 2.5 million dollars for 80% of the pass, a figure that was accepted by Fiorentina to let him go. Marcos Braz, Flamengo’s sporting vice-president, defined him with these words: “What I can tell you is that Erick Pulgar is a player offered to us by Vidal’s agent (Fernando Felicevich ). We know he is a great player, an important footballer for the Chilean national team”.
In sports, the Mengao will play at home next Saturday at 8:30 p.m. in Chile, without the presence of Erick Pulgar, but, surely, with the aforementioned Arturo Vidal on the court.
