New signing from Brazil
Djurgården has just announced that 18-year-old left back Lucca Gentil from Sfera FC has signed for the club. The contract runs until 2030 and he will initially play for the PA19 squad before moving to the first team.
Football director’s comment
- We are delighted to welcome Gentil to Djurgården and add him to our squad. A versatile player who brings great tactical flexibility to our left side, and we are very enthusiastic about his potential, says football director Maximilian Hahn.
Gentil’s reaction
The young Brazilian is happy about his move to Stockholm and Djurgården. He has already started learning about his new club and the stadium.
- I have read that Djurgården has won many titles and I have watched some clips of the supporters, there is also a chant that comes from Brazil I have heard, says he.
Future prospects
There may also be more signings from Brazil in the future. This transfer also represents a first step in building what we hope will become a strong, long-term relationship with his former club Sfera FC, whose record in youth development is outstanding.
