Peruvian soccer defender Miguel Trauco on Sunday night traveled to Rio de Janeiro to join Flamengo's preseason training sessions.
As is known, Trauco inked a preliminary contract with the Brazilian club and will wear the Mengao's jersey from 2017 thru 2019.
"I go with great enthusiasm knowing this is a very big challenge, and I think I will comply with the expectations [...]," the 24-year-old told Peruvian media.
Known as the "Genius," the Inca athlete will be officially presented to Brazilian media on Wednesday.
Trauco has defended Peru's national team 12 times.
The sportsman will accompany striker Paolo Guerrero, one of Flamengo's stars at the Brasileirao tournament.
