Lino leaves joins Flamengo in record-breaking deal
Samuel Lino has left Atletico Madrid to join Brazilian club Flamengo for a reported fee of €22m, making Lino the most expensive signing in Flamengo’s history.
Signing on the dotted line until December 2029, Lino follows former Atleti team-mate Saul Niguez in joining Flamengo.
Lino becomes the tenth player to leave Atleti this summer, with Diego Simeone embarking on a squad overhaul.
He joined Atleti from Gil Vicente in 2022 and, after spending a season on loan at Valencia, established himself as a versatile attacking option.
Over his two seasons in Atleti's team, Lino racked up 93 appearances across all competitions, registering 28 goal involvements in the process.
Lino joins a Flamengo team sitting top of the Brazilian Serie A after 16 games as it seeks to clinch its eighth championship.
