The transfer market is entering the final stretch and, as a result, Flamengo has intensified its search for reinforcements. One of the names that is close to Rubro-Negro is striker Michael. However, some other players appear in the club's movements during the signing period.
Michael's return to Flamengo is getting closer and closer. In an interview on Sunday (18), Marcos Braz, the club's vice-president of football, made it clear that negotiations with the attacker are very well underway, however, he can only confirm the athlete at Mengão once the contract has been signed.
MICHAEL'S RETURN TO FLAMENGO
Michael returns to Flamengo after playing for two seasons for Al Hilal (SAU). Last Saturday (17), 'Robozinho', as he is affectionately called, played his farewell game for the Saudi team and even said goodbye to his teammates. The athlete will arrive to replace Everton Cebolinha, who ruptured his Achilles tendon and will only return to the pitch in 2025.
SIDES ON THE AGENDA
As well as in the attack , Flamengo is missing Viña during the season due to an injury to the meniscus and cruciate ligament in his right knee. Furthermore, Wesley is packed to leave the club for Atalanta (ITA). Thus, the red and black board is keeping an eye on athletes for the role.
Of the most recent, Vitinho, from Burnley (ING), appears. Flamengo sees the 25-year-old athlete as an option for the side. At the moment, Rubro-Negro has competition from some teams in negotiating the player, including Internacional.
In addition to Vitinho, Khellven is also another name that is in the sights of Flamengo's board. The Brazilian, who plays for CSKA (RUS), should soon receive an offer from Rubro-Negro. Those who appear to be keeping an eye on the athlete are also Botafogo, however, Mengo has an advantage in the competition with their rival.
OTHER NAMES
Carlos Alcaraz is a name that recently appeared as a possible reinforcement for Flamengo's midfield. In the quest to have the player, Mengo offered 18 million euros (R$109 million) to the English team for the 21-year-old. However, Mais Querido has not yet received an opinion from the England team.
Finally, Benedetto had his name linked to Flamengo in the transfer window. According to information from ‘TycSports’, coach Tite sought out the athlete’s staff and offered a contract to the former Boca Juniors (ARG). As reported by the Argentine tabloid, Mengo is close to signing the 34-year-old player.
The striker is not having his best moment with the Real Madrid shirt and the English club is offering a huge proposal that would also fill Mengão's pockets.

Vinicius Júnior, one of the best players in the world today , remains strongly identified with Flamengo, the club that revealed him in 2017. At 25 years old, the striker frequently shows his affection for the Mais Querido , feeding the fans' dream of seeing him, one day, end his career at Gávea.
In recent days, it emerged that the number 7 could transfer to Manchester United for a staggering R$1.3 billion . In this scenario, Flamengo would profit 2.5% of the amount—approximately R$32.5 million—thanks to FIFA's solidarity mechanism.
However, according to Spanish journalist Alberto Pereiro, Vini has already made his decision: he will remain at Real Madrid . The striker, who has the full support of the Merengue club, can renew his contract whenever he wishes, such is his importance to the team.
The move doesn't benefit Flamengo , which would see a huge amount of money flow into its coffers without having to make any moves. For now, the Brazilian will remain one of the Spanish giant's key players , alongside Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Federico Valverde.
Meanwhile, Flamengo maintains its lead in the Brasileirão after its victory over Mirassol and turns its attention to the Copa Libertadores . This Wednesday (13), the team led by Filipe Luís hosts Internacional at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the first leg of the round of 16.
After winning the Brasileirão, Mais Querido begins a marathon of three consecutive games against Internacional, including the first and second leg of the international tournament.

Flamengo beat Mirassol 2-1 this Saturday (9), in a game valid for the Brazilian Championship, and now turns its attention to the Libertadores. Next Wednesday (13), the team faces Internacional at Maracanã, in the first match of the round of 16.
Right-back Emerson Royal, a starter in the Brasileirão victory and making his debut in the continental competition , previewed the match. "It's a very difficult competition, we know how important it is," said the Mengão player.
"It's Internacional, who also have a lot of quality, we know their quality. We have two games in a row against them, and it was more or less the same against Atlético-MG. We're going to win with me. I always like to emphasize, we're Flamengo. We're going to look for victories in both games," said the player in the mixed zone of the Maracanã.
Flamengo 's schedule includes three consecutive matches against Internacional. After the first leg of the Libertadores, the teams meet again this weekend in the Brazilian Championship. The second leg of the round of 16 concludes the sequence, with the final two games taking place in Porto Alegre.
Before resuming the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo focuses all its attention on the Libertadores. The duel against Internacional, scheduled for Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, opens the series of clashes that could define the club's future in the tournament.
After other attackers refused, the Argentine reinforced his desire to play for Mais Querido and sought release in a new meeting with the Italian board.

Flamengo has already signed full-back Emerson Royal, midfielders Saúl and Jorge Carrascal, forward Samuel Lino, and defensive midfielder Jorginho this summer. Even with these reinforcements, the board is still searching for more attacking options in the market.
After Lucas Beltrán and Mehdi Taremi 's refusals, a new target shows commitment to defend the Rio de Janeiro club: Taty Castellanos. According to information released this Sunday (10) by journalist Fabrício Lopes , from the O Dia portal and the Resenha Rubro-Negra channel, the Argentine striker remains determined to leave Lazio.
Castellanos is in direct contact with the Italian board and will meet again with Claudio Lotito, president of Lazio. The goal is to reinforce his desire for a transfer and seek immediate release.
The player's interest coincides with the strategy of football director José Boto , who has been working to facilitate the negotiation for weeks. The expectation is that the situation will be resolved in the coming days , with the possibility of his arrival at the Brazilian club as early as next week.
The striker, who joined Lazio in July 2023, has made 86 appearances for the Italian club, scoring 20 goals and providing 13 assists, according to data from the Transfermarkt portal. This record confirms his potential to strengthen Flamengo 's attacking system and raises fans' expectations for a positive outcome in the negotiations.
