The Atlético, near signing Rodrigo Muniz, the last jewel of Flamengo
El Atlético de Madrid está muy cerca de fichar, podría anunciarlo en los próximos días, al joven delantero brasileño Rodrigo Muniz Carvalho, que juega en el Flamengo y está considerado una de las nuevas perlas del fútbol carioca.
With 20 years recently, Muniz is playing the Brazilian with his team and adds three goals in four games, in which he has played 200 minutes.It is a right -hand attacker of 1.85 meters and 80 kilos of weight, good auctioneer at the first touch, of powerful stride and powerful shot, with a great air game and ability to play in short spaces despite his height.For his youth he has a lot of margin of improvement still, especially in decision making in the final meters.He plays with number 43 behind the back and this season he counts nine goals in 19 games (854 minutes).Before signing for Flamengo in 2018 Rodrigo was proclaimed maximum scorer of the Paulista championship in lower categories for two seasons with the Brazil downside.
In Brazil, its progression is valued in recent months due to the significant fact that it must compete for a position with the most prestigious couple of the entire championship, the one formed by Gabigol and Pedro.Last season he was given six months in Coritiba, but in March Flamengo coach Rogerio Ceni claimed his return to the progression of the young Rodrigo.
Future bets
In the event that the signing will end up specifying, as everything seems, the idea of the rojiblanco club goes through a assignment of the Brazilian attacker to a Spanish league team in order to closely control its progression.It would be a reinforcement in the same line of other future bets that Atlético has made in recent seasons with promising talents of Brazilian or Portuguese football.The most recent case is that of Marcos Paulo, a 20 -year -old media also Brazilian who in January closed an agreement with those of Simeone, although it has not yet been officially submitted.He ended with Fluminense and Atlético advanced to other teams.Now he remains at the expense of seeing what happens with Vitolo and there is the option that he stays in the template.
The case of another player who followed this same path is the Portuguese Diogo Jota.In 2016 he signed for eight million from the Paços de Ferreira, he was ceded to Porto and from there he was sold to the English Wolverhampton for 12 million.It was a good business for the rojiblancos, although it could be better since last summer Liverpool paid 50 million for him.But not all bets curdle, of course.Uruguayan Emiliano Velazquez signed for Atlético in 2014 from Danube in exchange for one million euros and after being assigned to Getafe, Braga and Rayo Vallecano did not debut with those of the Metropolitan.The same happened with the Portuguese Ruben Micael, signed in 2011 from Porto for five million.He played in Zaragoza, Braga and Maccabi Tel Aviv without dressing the rojiblanca.
Specific reinforcements
After the capital expansion of 181 million that the rojiblanco club approved on Friday by entryof the entity and give exit to soccer players with which it does not have too much syllecto and have high chips, such as the cases of Saul and Vitolo.
Miguel Ángel Gil Marín and Andrea Berta, the sports director of the League champion, have long combing the Brazilian market to the search for a good opportunity to reinforce the workforce with a young footballer who fits the sports parameters, but also economic, with possibilityof revaluation.They were following among others Kaio Jorge, 19 -year -old Santos striker, but in the end they seem to opt for Rodrigo Muniz.Flamengo's attacker had firm proposals of several Belgian teams, mainly the Genk and Anderlecht, and a Dubai team, but when he knew the interest of Atlético de Madrid he stopped the negotiations to give priority to the Madrid team.His partner in Flamengo, former rojiblanco Filipe Luis, has already informed Rodrigo Muniz about everything related to Atlético de Madrid.This week could be news.
