9 MONTHS AFTER RUN OVER, KAYKY BRITO SAYS HE IS BETTER EVERY DAY

Former Flamengo striker Vini Jr. had a special presence in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami during Real Madrid's 1-0 victory over Juventus on Tuesday (1). Spanish model and influencer Victoria Ruiz was seen following the match closely and recording moments on her social media.

Victoria, who has been linked to the player's possible new love interest since the beginning of the year, shared photos and videos directly from the seats near the pitch. One of the photos highlighted Vini Jr.'s celebration after the Spanish team's goal . The influencer's presence at the match reignited rumors about her relationship with the athlete, as she had also been seen the previous week closely following the striker.

ROMANCE RUMORS GROW

The possible relationship between Real Madrid 's number 7 and Victoria Ruiz gained even more repercussion on social media after a post by Maju Mazalli, Vini Jr.'s ex-girlfriend. The Brazilian influencer shared a reflective message shortly after Victoria announced that she was at the stadium: " At the end of the day, no one owes you anything, the world is not fair and you are an adult . Do your job, be strong and don't expect absolutely anything from anyone."

Maju and the player had an on-and-off relationship between 2019 and 2021. Since January of this year, Maju left Madrid and returned to Brazil, with no signs of returning.

VICTORIA RUIZ HAD ALREADY BEEN LINKED TO NEYMAR

Victoria Ruiz, who now has her name linked to Vini Jr., is not a complete unknown in the world of football. In 2022, the model had already been the target of speculation when she was seen watching PSG matches in Paris . At the time, she received likes from Neymar in publications and was also mentioned as the Brazilian star's affair.

Jorge Carrascal, Colombian striker and likely Flamengo signing for the 2025 season, has already spoken out about his life off the pitch. The player has chosen a mansion located in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro , to be his new residence. The house is located in the Riviera Del Sol Condominium, a region known for housing high-end properties.

According to information gathered, representatives of the player were recently in the capital of Rio de Janeiro to discuss logistical matters . During the visit, they analyzed several residential options near Ninho do Urubu, the Mais Querido 's training center, with the aim of facilitating Carrascal's travel routine.

MANSION HAS COMPLETE INFRASTRUCTURE

The property chosen by Carrascal is approximately 600 m² and will be rented for approximately R$25,000 per month. Although it is valued at R$30 million, the house will only be rented for now. The mansion's attractions include five suites, five bathrooms, a heated pool, gym, spa, games room, sauna, library, home office, wine cellar, barbecue area and garage for up to three vehicles.

In addition to the state-of-the-art infrastructure, the player will have famous neighbors, such as TV presenter Xuxa Meneghel and singer Fábio Júnior. Other athletes from the Mengão squad, such as Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Guillermo Varela, also live in the same condominium, reinforcing the family atmosphere and integration within the club.

FLAMENGO MUST CONFIRM THE HIRING

Although the negotiations have not yet been officially finalized, Carrascal 's steps indicate that the deal is close to being finalized. The Colombian remains linked to Dynamo Moscow, in Russia, but should report to Flamengo in early 2025 to begin a new stage of his career with the red-and-black shirt.
