Flamengo continues to monitor the transfer market and is already targeting the signing of Argentine midfielder Carlos Alcaraz, from Southampton (ING). Mais Querido made a proposal to the English club worth around 18 million euros (R$ 109 million) for the 21-year-old. Now, the red-black club awaits a response.


According to information from GE, Carlos Alcaraz is on Flamengo's wish list to be an option in the positions of De La Cruz and Arrascaeta. This is because the Argentine revealed by Racing acts as a second midfielder and also as a midfielder.


ALCARAZ'S HISTORY


The young midfielder transferred to Southampton at the beginning of 2023. For the team English, the player played in 47 games and scored eight goals. In February of this year, he was loaned to Juventus (ITA), but the Italian team decided not to exercise the purchase option.

Still in 2023, Alcaraz was called up for the first time by the Argentine national team and was able to play alongside alongside Lionel Messi. For Racing, Carlos made 83 appearances and scored 12 goals.


FLAMENGO WAITS FOR RESPONSE FROM SOUTHAMPTON

After making a proposal of 18 million euros (R$ 109 million) for the young midfielder, Mais Querido awaits a response from Southampton. It is worth noting that the value offered by the Argentine was the same as that offered to Zenit for Claudinho.

Coach Filipe Luís still has doubts about defining the Flamengo lineup that faces Bahia, this Sunday (05), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. The last training session before the match takes place on Saturday morning (04), at 9:30 am , at Ninho do Urubu.


The training session will be crucial for the coach to assemble the starting lineup and find replacements for the suspended Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro. Danilo and Ayrton Lucas are expected to fill the defensive spots , alongside Léo Ortiz and Varela. Even so, Filipe Luís may opt to rest some players, as the squad is facing a marathon of decisive matches.


DOUBTS ABOUT FLAMENGO'S LINEUP
  • Varela or Emerson Royal
  • Saul or De La Cruz
  • Plata or Carrascal
  • Samuel Lino or Everton Cebolinha
  • Pedro or Bruno Henrique


On Friday (03), the starters from the draw against Cruzeiro only carried out regenerative activities , which leaves this Saturday's training session as the only opportunity for tactical adjustments. The team travels in the afternoon to Salvador, the location of the clash.

FLAMENGO'S PROBABLE LINEUP


The tendency is for Filipe Luís to send onto the field a Flamengo with: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Danilo and Ayrton Lucas; Saúl (De La Cruz), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Plata (Carrascal), Samuel Lino (Everton Cebolinha) and Pedro (Bruno Henrique).

After training, the squad will have lunch at Ninho do Urubu and then travel to Salvador, with an estimated arrival time of late afternoon . With 55 points and leading Série A, Flamengo is looking for a victory over Bahia, who is sixth with 40 points, to remain firmly in the title race.

Flamengo will have two important absences for the duel against Bahia, this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm, at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship . Defender Léo Pereira and full-back Alex Sandro received their third yellow card in the goalless draw against Cruzeiro and are serving an automatic suspension.


Alex Sandro was cautioned in the 11th minute for a hard foul on Christian without the ball. Léo Pereira was booked for fouling Kaio Jorge, accumulating infractions that resulted in a suspension . The absence of the duo forces changes in the red-and-black defense.


PROBABLE LINEUP


With the absences, coach Filipe Luís is expected to make changes. The likely starting lineup includes Rossi; Varela (or Emerson Royal), Danilo, Léo Ortiz, and Viña (or Ayrton Lucas); Jorginho (Allan or De La Cruz), Saúl, and Arrascaeta; Samuel Lino, Gonzalo Plata (or Carrascal), and Pedro . Leading the table with 55 points, Flamengo is looking to open up a gap over Palmeiras and Cruzeiro, who are closely tied.

BAHIA ARRIVES FOR THE GAME WITH CASUALTIES


On the other side, Bahia faces a crisis of absences. There are 13 confirmed absences—between suspensions and injuries—in addition to doubts like Ramos Mingo, who was injured in the last match. The Esquadrão, currently sixth with 40 points , will face an even greater challenge against the championship leader.

Bahia will have great difficulties when facing Flamengo this Sunday (5), in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The team led by Rogério Ceni has 13 absences, a record number of the season , for the clash at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).


The Tricolor de Aço will have absences across all positions: goalkeeper, defense, full-backs, midfield, and attack. Nine players are injured and four are suspended, forcing the coach to resort to an alternative formation to face the league leaders.


Among the players missing are Luciano Juba, Rodrigo Nestor, Santiago Arias, and Sanabria , as well as players recovering from injuries like Kanu and Erick. The situation forces Ceni to assemble a new defense and even consider potential debutants.


COMPLETE LIST OF ABSENCES
  • Goalkeeper: João Paulo (knee injury)
  • Full-backs: Santiago Arias (suspended), Luciano Juba (suspended and muscle injury)
  • Defenders: Gabriel Xavier (suspended), Ramos Mingo (thigh injury), David Duarte (physical transition), Kanu (return from surgery)
  • Midfield: Rodrigo Nestor (suspended), Caio Alexandre (muscle injury), Erick (transition from surgery)
  • Forwards: Sanabria (suspended), Erick Pulga (muscle injury), Ruan Pablo (injury)
PROBABLE LINEUP

With so many absences, Rogério Ceni should send an alternative team to the field against Flamengo : Ronaldo; Gilberto, Fredi, Rezende and Zé Guilherme; Acevedo, Jean Lucas and Everton Ribeiro; Kayky, Iago Borduchi (or Michel Araújo, Tiago or Cauly) and Willian José.
