Preta Gil's friend updates the singer's profile, who remains in the ICU

Striker Vini Jr. caught the attention on social media this Wednesday (24) when he published a photo during a bicycle training session . What intrigued his followers the most, however, was not the exercise, but the ring that the player was wearing on his left hand.

The detail rekindled rumors about a possible involvement between the Real Madrid star, a Flamengo product, and businesswoman and presenter Virginia Fonseca , who recently separated from singer Zé Felipe, with whom she has three children.

CLUES ON SOCIAL MEDIA

In recent days, internet users have noticed coincidences that have fueled speculation. Virginia recorded videos in a gym in Madrid, very similar to the space where Vini Jr. usually trains. On another occasion, she appeared in a room with a chandelier identical to the one in the player's home in the Spanish capital. In early September, the two had already been seen together on a luxury yacht.

Virginia about Vini Jr: "he is a wonderful person"

VIRGINIA COMMENTS ON RELATIONSHIP WITH VINI JR.

In an interview with journalist Lucas Pasin of Metrópoles, Virginia was asked about her closeness with the player . Without confirming or denying a relationship, she responded with laughter and measured her words before answering:

"Wonderful Vini, he's a wonderful person, anyone who knows him knows he's truly an exemplary boy , a top guy. And I'm impartial, friend, do you know when you're single?" he declared, quickly changing the subject.

Living a special moment on and off the field, Arrascaeta received great news in his personal life : Flamengo's number 10 will be a father for the first time . This Monday (1st), the star revealed that his wife Camila Bastiani is pregnant with a boy.

On social media, the couple posted the news with the caption: "We're waiting for you, son," accompanied by a blue heart, symbolizing the baby's gender . The pregnancy had already been announced on June 30, indicating that the Flamengo midfielder's son is at least three months old.

BEST MOMENT ON AND OFF THE FIELD

The arrival of his first child comes during one of the most memorable years of Arrascaeta's career. By 2025, the Uruguayan has 17 goals and 13 assists in 42 games, figures that put him close to equaling his career-best scoring record for Flamengo , set in 2019 with 18 goals. In terms of assists, his goal is to surpass the 19 he recorded in both 2019 and 2022.

Last Sunday (31), against Grêmio, the number 10 shone again. After exchanging passes with Pedro, he gave a subtle touch, almost like a "snooker shot", leaving no chance for goalkeeper Tiago Volpi . Despite the beauty of the goal, the afternoon ended in a draw, as the opposing goalkeeper himself converted the penalty that decreed the 1-1 draw at Maracanã.

WHEN WILL ARRASCAETA PLAY AGAIN?

Now, Arrascaeta focuses on defending the Uruguayan National Team in the World Cup Qualifiers . The next commitment will be on Thursday (4), against Peru, at the Centenario Stadium, in Montevideo. Next, on September 9, Uruguay faces Chile, in Santiago.

In a comfortable position in the standings, La Celeste needs just one point out of a possible six to mathematically confirm its place in the World Cup. So far, Argentina, Ecuador, and Brazil have already secured their place , while Chile is the only team with no chance of qualifying.

Flamengo defender Léo Pereira spoke out this Thursday (28) after news reports circulated that alleged a delay in the payment of child support for his two children with his ex-wife, Tainá Castro. In an official statement signed by his lawyers, the player categorically denied any outstanding payments and criticized the dissemination of false information.

According to the Leo Dias website, the athlete was reportedly notified by a court official due to his default, in addition to appearing at a hearing for family matters. Léo Pereira, however, denied the first part of the information, confirming only that the hearing took place, the content of which cannot be revealed, as the proceedings are under judicial secrecy.

OFFICIAL NOTE FROM LAWYERS REINFORCES

In their public statement, the defender's legal representatives were firm in stating that the athlete has never failed to fulfill his responsibilities to his children, Matteo and Helena. " The athlete Léo Pereira participated in a family court hearing today. As the proceedings are confidential, further details cannot be released. In light of the false reports published, the athlete reiterates that he is up to date with all his obligations to his children and has never defaulted on their child support payments," the statement reads.

The lawyers also emphasized that all obligations are documented and proven in court. "All payments have been duly made and proven in court. The information disclosed is not true. The athlete reaffirms his commitment to transparency and warns that any false publication that affects his honor or that of his family will be subject to appropriate legal action," the statement added.

DEFENDER MAINTAINS PREPARATION

While dealing with legal issues, Léo Pereira continues to work normally with the Flamengo squad. The next challenge will be against Grêmio, on Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The defender should be available to the coaching staff for the match.
