One of Flamengo's standout performers in this impressive Brazilian Championship campaign, left-back Juan stated that reports of his departure from Gávea are merely speculation. The number 6 said that wearing the red-and-black jersey is a great pleasure.

"I'm happy here at Flamengo. It's a club that comes in to compete for titles. The group, the environment—everything is good for me. I'm incredibly happy to wear the Flamengo jersey. I'm in a good place, and I'm only thinking about helping Flamengo."

With his great performances, Juan is already a name constantly mentioned to earn a chance on the Brazilian National Team.

"I'm calm. I try to do my best on the field. Helping Flamengo is my main focus. If I get a call-up, I'll be very happy. I've been maintaining good consistency since last year. I'm feeling very confident."
