Fabrício Bruno could be leaving Flamengo. Rumors began to circulate this past week that the player would like to leave the Red and Black squad in the next transfer window, which his team denied. However, they did not deny the defender's supposed interest in going abroad in the 2024 season. Fabrício Bruno's contract with Flamengo is valid until the end of 2025.
This reality certainly apprehends Flamengo fans, mainly because it was a big surprise. The Gávea club's board of directors has been organizing itself for a few months to make profound changes to the squad's situation, aiming for a significant improvement in results next season. However, the representatives did not count on having to rush to restructure their defense, if Fabrício really wanted to leave.
In addition to him, the directors are already having to deal with the lack of Rodrigo Caio, whom they decided not to renew, and the advanced age of David Luiz, who chose stay in the team with Tite's arrival.
It should also be noted that this is not the first time that the defender's future has been questioned. In September this year, Fla tried to extend his contract until 2027, but he refused, claiming that accepting such a contractual change could take away from him some opportunities to play in European football. In January, in fact, Sporting (POR) showed interest in the player, even making an offer for a loan, with a purchase option included.
Fabrício Bruno has been performing spectacularly in the last year and, certainly, is not going unnoticed by the scouts of rival teams.
The club has a different point of view from the coach

In an interview given after the defeat of Flamengoto Peñarol, 1-0, coach Tite was direct in responding to the boos received by the fans. The statement, marked by a frank tone, exposed the coach's pragmatic vision in relation to demanding fans and the pressure for results. “I respect the fans’ feelings. Of course I feel that (the boos), I'm human”, said Tite, recognizing the fans' frustration in the face of the setback.
Tite's speech reveals that he understands the role of fans as a fundamental part in the context of a club, especially in a team of great expression like Flamengo. By mentioning that the boos affect him as a human being, the coach demonstrates empathy, but does not fail to highlight that the only way to reverse this situation is with achievements on the field. “It can only be reversed in one way”, pointed out the coach.
THE MISTAKE THAT COSTED EXTREMELY DEARLYThe response reflects the experience of Titein dealing with pressure who follows the command of great teams in Brazilian football. With successful spells at clubs such as Corinthians, Grêmio and the Brazilian national team itself, the coach has a track record that puts him in a position to understand, perhaps like few others, the relationship between performance on the field and fans' expectations. For him, this connection is clear: “Do you know how to win fans? Do you know how I won over the fans of the other clubs I played for? Win an important title”, he declared.
The phrase highlights the centrality of titles in football, especially in mass clubs like Flamengo. In Brazil, the culture of results is intense, and Tite recognizes that fans have a limited tolerance for negative results. Winning titles, for him, is the key to gaining the support of the fans, and anything other than that results in discontent: “If not, bye.”
This last part of Tite's speech summarizes the characteristic impatience of demanding fans like Flamengo. The coach makes it clear that, without obtaining relevant trophies, the relationship with the fans deteriorates quickly. The pressure is constant and is part of the daily life of those who take on the leadership of top teams. Tite seems, however, to be aware of this scenario and how it needs to be faced.
The club has its greatest moment of inconstancy

Tite's statement came after a delicate moment for Flamengo. The defeat to Peñarol, at home, in a group stage match of the Copa Libertadores, raised alarm bells for fans and the coaching staff. Flamengo had high expectations for the season, especially after major reinforcements and the arrival of Tite, a coach with wide recognition on the national and international scene.
The pressure on Flamengo is nothing new. The club, which has one of the biggest fans in the world, is known for its high expectations for titles. The expensive squad, made up of renowned players, also increases this demand. Each stumble is widely covered by the media and amplifies the dissatisfaction of part of the fans, who demand immediate results.
CAN IT GO BAD AT THE MOMENT?The Copa Libertadores, in particular, has a important meaning for Flamengo and its fans. The continental tournament is seen as one of the club's main objectives each season. Any result other than victory can generate dissatisfaction and pressure on the technical committee, as occurred after the setback against Peñarol.
In this context, Tite's speech not only recognizes the fans' dissatisfaction, but also is realistic in relation to what is expected from a club like Flamengo. The demand for titles is part of the package when taking over a club of this size, and the coach seems to be aware of this when he points out that he will only be able to win the support of the fans with significant victories.

David Luiz recently completed three years at Flamengo and does not hide the identification he created with the club during this period. After 14 years in Europe, he defines the current period as one of the best of his career. In an interview with the Copa City Studio podcast, the defender spoke about his relationship with fans and stated that Vini Jr, the Red and Black's creation, could win the Ballon d'Or.
David has 123 games, three goals and two assists since 2021. "It's one of the most beautiful pages of my career after many years in Europe to have the opportunity to return to Brazil and play for Flamengo," he said.
"Flamengo would not be great if there wasn't the Nation, the fans, this love, if the stadium wasn't full every game and everywhere we go. It's a fan base that truly loves, it's living fully, dedicatedly. anything in your life, with this pure feeling, you feel. This whole atmosphere that surrounds Flamengo, is felt. Flamengo moves me, it brings me every day, when I wake up, the desire to fight. , sadness, but it's what moves us. Being part of this is a sign that you're alive, it's a sign that Flamengo makes you live in a different way."

Created by Ninho do Urubu, Vini Jr is one of the competitors for the Ballon d'Or. David Luiz believes that the young man can take the prize. The winners will be revealed at a ceremony on October 28th.
"[He can win] without a doubt, he's already proven that. Last year was perhaps his best season. He's fighting with all the other greats talents that are now reigning in football."
David was champion of the Libertadores and Copa do Brasil in 2022, as well as Carioca in 2024, but suffered a severe blow in the defeat to Palmeiras in 2021. "In 2021 we lost the Libertadores and for me it was a huge blow. I thought it would be the first time in my career that I would win a title in an "easy" way because I would already reach the icing on the cake, I reached the semi-final. life is nothing easy, we lost. In 2022 we managed to make a huge turnaround in the middle of a tremendous season. It doesn't matter how it starts, it doesn't matter how it ends. Flamengo deserved to be enjoying this era of titles and putting the club where it deserves."
At 37 years old, David Luiz is the oldest in Flamengo's current squad, but he still doesn't think about stopping. He has a contract until the end of this year and is awaiting Fla's wishes to renew. "I want to play as long as I love football. I play for love, that's what moves me. I work to be able to play, but as long as there is love there will be discipline and responsibility."
Flamengo joined Arsenal and Bayern Munich is one of the first Copa City licensed clubs. The football management video game will be released in 2025.
