For shirt 9, Fortaleza hits Ángelo Henriquez, ex-Manchester United; center forward was free on the market

Fortaleza started the Brasileirão with a remarkable performance: in eight rounds, they have remained in the G-4 and have been calling attention to the way they are tactically projected by coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda. However, the Tricolor do Pici knows that to maintain their performance in a long and well-attended championship like the Brasileirão, they need reinforcements for the squad.




This Thursday (1), the Chilean press reported that Laion sent the hiring of striker Ángelo Henríquez, 27, from Universidad de Chile. The information that was collected by the portal O Povo (Sports), points to a connection agreement by the end of 2021. The Chilean center forward is free to sign a pre-contract with any club.

It is important to highlight that there is a connection between Fortaleza and Chile: Vojvoda was coach of Unión La Calera, from Chile, and since he faced Ángelo Henríquez in duels for the national championship in that country, he knows the characteristics of the player. It certainly guided the negotiations between Jangada Atômica and the Universidad.

Ángelo Henríquez was revealed by the Universidad de Chile and was promoted to the Chilean team’s first team in 2011. Afterwards, he had spells at Manchester United, Wigan and Real Zaragoza, to return to his former club in 2018. In the last four seasons at Universidad, he played in 64 matches and scored 15 goals.
