Flamengo Reaches Pre-Contract with Gil Vicente Goalkeeper Andrew, Pursues January Arrival

Overview

• The agreement is for four years and surpasses Botafogo’s three-year offer with higher wages.
• Flamengo is negotiating a fee and allowing Gil Vicente to retain a share of the player’s economic rights to speed up the transfer.
• Botafogo opened talks in early December but has fallen behind, with its negotiations reported closed as Flamengo moved ahead.
• Andrew can commit now because he is in the final six months of a contract that runs to June 2026, and Flamengo wants him immediately to reinforce competition with Rossi after other targets stalled.
• The 24-year-old has Brazil youth call-ups and this season logged 17 matches for Gil Vicente with nine clean sheets.
