Internationally, Lorran has already made his mark. He was a part of the Brazil U17 team that won the 2023 South American Championship.
Renowned for his sharp dribbling and vision, Lorran excels as both a traditional and inverted winger thanks to his magic left-foot. He can adapt across the front line making him a versatile player.
Major European clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, are reportedly interested in securing his services, reflecting his high potential and Flamengo’s €50 million valuation.
Lorran remains under contract with Flamengo until December 2025, but his continued development and early success suggest a promising future on the global stage.
