Fortaleza are close to beating European competition for a defender


The 37-year-old defender has been without a club since the end of 2024, when his contract with Flamengo was not renewed.




Fortaleza is close to displacing the European market and closing negotiations for a strengthening of the defense sector. This is defender David Luiz, former Flamengo. The defender said goodbye to the Rio club at the end of 2024, after an experience of just over 2 years in the Rossoneri shirt.

According to GE, Olympiacos has made contact with the player’s advisors, but at the forefront of this dispute is the north-eastern club. According to what has been reported, the proposal put forward by the Fortaleza management is to count on the defender for just one season.

Revealed by Vitória when he was only 18, David distinguished himself and went to Europe. In the old continent he played for important clubs, such as Chelsea, Paris-Saint-Germain and Arsenal. He joined Flamengo in 2021, and since then the defender has played 132 games for the Rio club (115 as a starter), with a record of 75 wins, 28 draws and 29 defeats, for a total success rate of 64 %. In addition to these numbers he has 4 goals and two assists. In terms of results, David has won 4 trophies with Flamengo, one Libertadores da América (2022), two Copas do Brasil (2022 and 2024) and one Carioca (2024).

It is worth remembering that the athlete turns 38 in 2025, and presents himself as one of the most experienced within the squad, with a more than complete CV.
