Part 6/8:
Critics pondered whether Flamengo needed to sell Loran, especially for €8 million, a sum viewed as relatively paltry for the potential talent that the young player exhibited. There were discussions comparing his situation to other players who have faced similar challenges. The decision to keep Loran in the squad rather than risking his sale for what might be perceived as significantly undervaluing his potential opened up conversations about player management in larger clubs.
Furthermore, discussions emerged about the pressure young players face in top-tier clubs and how it affects their performance. The argument suggested that Loran’s future success may not be strictly relegated to his output now, but rather how he continues to evolve within a rigorous environment.
