Goalkeeper Bruno arrived at Flamengo last year and from his first match he won over the board and the Rubro-Negra Nation.

For all these reasons, Flamengo has made every effort to keep him.

Although Fla understands the commercial interests that are part of the world of football today, it made clear to the investors who hold the rights to the athlete that the uncertainty regarding his fate impedes the planned management of a football team.

The aforementioned investors understood the Club's reasons and committed to deciding whether or not Bruno would stay at Flamengo by Friday.

In consideration of the athlete and in the name of the Institution's greater interests, we have established July 6th as the deadline for registering the player's contract.
