Flamengo agrees to buy Shola, under-20 star


The Rio club will pay around 2.4 million reals for 70% of the economic rights of the Nigerian striker




After talks in recent weeks, Flamengo has agreed to buy striker Shola, who has been on loan at Rubro-Negro since April 2023. To keep the Nigerian, the Rio club will pay around 450 thousand dollars (2.4 million reals). Mais Querido will retain 70% of the athlete’s economic rights. The information about the purchase comes from the journalist “Deco SRN”.

Shola is one of the stars of the Flamengo U-20 team. Champion of the Libertadores in his category, scoring a goal in the decisive goal against Boca Juniors, the striker has played 16 games with the Rossoneri this year, scoring four goals and four assists.

Initially, Flamengo did not make any move to permanently retain the player. However, with the arrival of coach Filipe Luís, the scenario changed and the board began to talk about the permanence of the Nigerian, who previously played for Remo Stars, in Nigeria.
