Part 3/5:
Introduction of Juninho
Looking ahead, Venê introduced the next chapter for Flamengo: the arrival of Juninho, a new attacking player. Scheduled to undergo medical examinations upon arriving in Rio de Janeiro, Juninho's contract terms indicate a four-year engagement with the club. His salary is notably lower—by 42%—than that of his predecessor, Fabrício Bruno.
Juninho had a conversation with current Flamengo players prior to deciding on his transfer and received encouraging feedback about the club’s environment, camaraderie, and training facilities. Such insights were influential as he ultimately chose Flamengo over Sevilla, showcasing the team’s allure despite the international competition.
