Palmeiras beat Bahia on Sunday night (7) by a score of 2-0. After the match, coach Abel Ferreira was asked about the exchange negotiations between Flamengo involving Gabigol and Dudu. Even though he said he learned the news shortly before the game, the coach stated that he will not comment on possible transfers.


“I was aware of this matter before the game. A notice…. I will be consistent with what I have said. I'm not going to talk about speculations, soap operas. I'm only talking about our players. I have also said that the issue of transfers is up to the management. Coach trains, management directs and wardrobe”, said Abel.


Abel was also asked why he didn’t put Dudu on the field, since Palmeirasbeat Bahia. However, he replied that it was a technical option, as the attacker is returning from a serious injury and that it is not related to a possible transfer.


“I have nothing to say about that. You know my opinion, just read what I said back there. I don't count on losing anyone else. Do you know why Dudu didn't come in today? I didn't think he was supposed to come in. Dudu played against Grêmio (in Caxias) on that field… I don't know if I can call it a field. He played 20 or 25 minutes, but it's a field that leaves dents (damage). I've already been clear, I'm counting on all Palmeiras players. And Dudu is. Therefore, I'm counting on Dudu”, commented Abel Ferreira at another time.

DUDU IS IRRITATED WITH THE POSSIBLE EXCHANGE


According to information from UOL, Dudu and his staff are dissatisfied with the way that Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, deals with the situation. This is because, the representative of the alviverde team believes that she will put the player in talks with Rubro-Negro to try to release Gabigol.

Thus, Dudu does not wish to leave Palmeiras at this time, but understands that Leila will force you at all costs. Marcos Braz, Flamengo's vice-president of football, is responsible for trying to convince the striker to switch from Alviverde to Rubro-Negro.

For Flamengo fans, when it comes to the Brazilian National Team there is a constant concern whenever a Flamengo player is called up , the fear of a possible injury grows . This time, the situation fell on Samuel Lino, who suffered a tackle during Brazil's training session this Tuesday (2).


Flamengo 's number 16 was called up to replace the injured Matheus Cunha of Manchester United (ENG) . During the training session, he received a more forceful approach from midfielder Casemiro, lost his balance and showed signs of pain, but continued training normally.



FANS' REACTION ON SOCIAL MEDIA

The Red-Black Nation did not hide its apprehension on social media:


  • “They’re trying to injure Lino, give him back now, CBF ,” wrote one fan.
  • May Samuel Lino return in one piece from this FIFA Date,” said another user.
  • “For the love of God, give Lino back IN FULL ,” asked a Flamengo fan.
THE TRAUMA WITH PEDRO

The fans' fears have a recent history. In 2024, Pedro was enjoying one of the best phases of his career when he suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury during a training session with the national team. The striker was sidelined for months and only returned to the field in 2025.

WILL SAMUEL LINO BE OUT OF BRAZIL'S SQUAD?

Despite the concern, the CBF did not report any physical problems with Samuel Lino . Thus, the striker remains available to Carlo Ancelotti for the match this Thursday (4), when Brazil faces Chile, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.

It's official! Lorran, an attacking midfielder who came through Flamengo's youth system, was presented this Wednesday (3) as a new player for Pisa Sporting Club , in Italy. The "Garoto do Ninho" was loaned for 500 thousand euros (around R$ 3.1 million), in a contract that includes the obligation to purchase 50% of the athlete's rights for 4 million euros (approximately R$ 25 million).


However, the clause will only be activated if Lorran plays at least 50% of the season's games and Pisa remains in the Italian top flight. If these conditions are met, Flamengo will retain 50% of the player's economic rights , aiming to profit from a future transfer.


"Hello, I'm Lorran ! I'm very happy to be here. I hope to see you soon at the stadium . Let's go!" the athlete declared in a video released by the Italian club on its Instagram page. The midfielder emerged as one of the great prospects of Mengão's youth academy, having impressed during the beginning of his professional career, but his performance declined and he lost ground under Tite and has not been able to recover under Filipe Luís.


LORRAN HAS ALREADY BEEN IN A PISA GAME

Last Saturday, Lorran was at the stadium to watch his future teammates in the match against Roma. Before the match began, the youngster took part in a pitchside warm-up wearing his new club's colors and also reunited with Wesley, his former teammate at Ninho do Urubu.


MENGÃO'S NEXT GAME

Without Lorran, Mengão returns to action on September 14th against Juventude at 4 pm (Brasília time) at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium in Caxias do Sul, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Flamengo is looking to end a long winless streak at the Jaconero stadium . The last time they won there was on October 1st, 1997, when the score ended 1-0 for "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved), thanks to an own goal by Rodrigo Costa.
