FlaBasquete will have another Argentine on its roster for next season! Martin "Loku" Cuello is the third confirmed addition to the Mais Querido. A versatile player, the Buenos Aires shooting guard will wear the number 44 jersey and is eager to don the Mantle.

"I'm very happy to be joining the club. Flamengo is a huge institution, and we'll face many challenges this season, and I hope to be back with the team soon," said the athlete.

At 1,93'29" and 13,2 years old, he was MVP of the last Argentine League final, winning the championship with Instituto Córdoba. This past season, Cuello averaged 3,4 points, 2,7 rebounds, and XNUMX assists. Before excelling at Instituto, he played for Lanús (ARG), Libertad de Sunchales (ARG), and Malvin (URU).

"Cuello was the MVP of the Argentine Championship. We believe that "El Loku" Cuello will be another Argentine with Flamengo's DNA who will quickly win over our fans. Our strategic game plan favors the Buenos Aires school, which prioritizes decision-making. We are confident that we will maintain our tradition of entering every competition as one of the main favorites," stated Guilherme Kroll, Flamengo's vice president of Olympic Sports.

The Argentine joins his compatriot "Penka" Aguirre, as well as the new Flamengo power forward Gabriel Jaú, team captain Olivinha, and point guard Yago, already confirmed for FlaBasquete's roster for next season. The Pride of the Nation has major challenges ahead: the Champions League, the NBB, the Super 8 Cup, and the State Championship.

The basketball teams of Clube de Regatas do Flamengo rely on resources from their sponsors – BRB, MOSS, TIM, ABC da Construção, PixBet, AmBev, Rede D'or, IRB Brasil RE, CSN, Brasil Plural, EY – via the Federal Incentive Law/Ministry of Sports (IR) and the State Incentive Law/State Secretariat of Sports, Leisure and Youth (Seelje) of Rio de Janeiro, in addition to support from the Brazilian Club Committee (CBC).
