The arrival of Emerson Royal in Flamengo marks another movement of the club to strengthen the cast in the mid -year transfer window. The right back, who had tickets for European clubs and the Brazilian team, was hired to fill the gap left by Wesley, negotiated with Rome.
However, the intake has not given unknown criticisms. The commentator André Rizek expressed doubts about effectiveness in terms of negotiation costs. For him, the investment of 9 million euros (about $ 58 million) is high considering the current moment of the athlete and the national market. “I can burn my tongue, but I don’t think it is superior to Varela. I think it’s a bet,” said the journalist during a program on Sportv.
Rizek also highlighted the player’s recent history, which, despite the prominence of Real Betis in 2020/21, has been called into question in Tottenham and Milan. “Emerson crossed Europe. He was a player contested in Tottenham, contested in Milan and did not sell in the Brazilian team,” said the commentator, assigning the signature of the teams in Brazilian football.
In fact, Flamengo himself has invested in the basic categories for the location. Recently, the club has negotiated Wesley through expressive characters, consolidating it as the largest sale in the history of Brazilian football to a right back. Rizek even praised the talents from the red-black base, suggesting that there are practicable alternatives within the club itself: “Flamengo has highly praised sides at the base. And I think we are missing. The bases of Brazil must start forming the side”.
Therefore, the arrival of Emerson Royal, although surrounded by the expectation, also raises questions about Flamengo’s hiring strategy. The Board of Directors, in turn, bet on the player’s technical return to justify the investment and strengthen the cast with the ongoing eye competitions.
According to the program released by Flamengo, Emerson will land in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday (26), scheduled to get to 5:45 (Brasilia Time) at the Tom Jobim International Airport. As for previous presentations, landing will be performed in a limited area, without contact with the press or fans. After landing, he will go to Nest Urubu, where he will perform medical exams, sign a contract and grant a Flatv interview.
The official presentation of Emerson Royal should take place on Sunday (27), before the match against Atletico-Mg, at 20:30 (Brasilia Time), in Maracanã, for the 17th round of the Brazilian championship. The event at the stadium will be joint, since the midfielder Saúl ñíguez, recently hired with Atletico Madrid, will also be presented to the red-black crowd on the same occasion.
