Brazil is one of the most important markets in world football and one that Atlético has set its sights on in recent months. The Madrid club signed last season to frames Paulo, who will do the preseason from July 7 and now he's about to shut down another young Brazilian footballer: Rodrigo Muniz, 20-year-old Flamengo forward, who is considered one of the most promising footballers in Brazil.
In the Brazilian country, they point out that there is an offer from Atlético to take over the services of Rodrigo Muniz and that there are many options for him to become a new rojiblanco player. In Brazil they understand that the forward's cycle has ended there and that he is ready to make the leap to European football. But he would not play for Atlético. If the Wanda Metropolitano club closes its signing, it would transfer it to a First-class club so that it can begin its training in our League. It is, therefore, a bet for the future.
Rodrigo Muniz plays for Flamengo and is quite a tall attacker (1.85) and with a good shot in the air game. Last season he was on loan for a few months in Coritiba. Have contract with Flamengo until 2024 and its market value is three million euros. He is not a player who has yet exploded and that is why Atlético wants to sign him before his value is much greater.
Muniz has played five games and scored three goals in the Brasileirao, with a total of 253 minutes. It has had a great progression in recent months and Atlético wants to get ahead of other teams that want the forward. An operation that has been repeated in recent seasons with Argentine, Brazilian and Uruguayan players.
