Anthony Valencia, the 23-year-old Ecuadorian forward, has been a Flamengo player since September. However, he has only played in one match for the club. This is reportedly due to a natural adaptation process, allowing him to settle in. The transfer fee for Valencia was around 5 million euros, with the Royal Antwerp retaining 15% of any potential future profit from his sale. The club's management believes Valencia has the potential to become a regular starter for Flamengo in the medium term. He made his debut against Remo, coming on as a substitute for Samuel Lino in the final minutes, and had limited time on the pitch. In the subsequent match against Independiente del Valle, Valencia was not included in the squad.
