Rubro-Negro is second in the competition, with 21 points. Having gone seven games without losing, Filipe Luís's team arrives in high spirits to try to take the lead in the table before the World Cup . If they win, they will only need Palmeiras to slip up to travel to the United States in first place.
In 16th place and one point away from the relegation zone, Leão do Pici needs to get back on its feet to breathe in the Brasileirão. Tricolor has lost the last four games it has played, including the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores matches.
HOW DOES FLA ARRIVE?
The match will be Flamengo's farewell to its fans before embarking on the Club World Cup . Therefore, the fans are preparing a series of tributes, such as flags with images of the players who won the World Cup in 1981.
In the medical department, Plata and De La Cruz remain out. Viña, who is undergoing a transition process, is also unlikely to be included in the squad. Pulgar, on the other hand, has recovered from an injury and has been training without limitations with the squad, so he could be included in the squad.

Alcaraz's sale to Everton generates millions in losses for Flamengo
The most expensive player in the club's history is sold before the end of the loan; the club saves on salaries and seeks a new midfielder for 2025

Flamengo this week officially announced the sale of midfielder Carlos Alcaraz to Everton , from England, for 15 million euros (approximately R$96 million). The amount represents a loss of R$14 million compared to the R$110 million invested in the purchase of the Argentine , carried out in August 2024, making it the most expensive signing in the club's history.
During his time at Flamengo , Alcaraz played 19 official matches , scored three goals and provided two assists. Despite the high investment, his performance was below expectations. Furthermore, the midfielder received a salary of R$1.5 million per month and was unable to adapt to the playing style implemented by Filipe Luís, which demands intensity and versatility in the midfield.
GOAL NOT REACHED IN FACILITATED LOAN
Under the loan agreement , Everton would only be required to pay the full purchase price if the player started at least nine games. Since Alcaraz only started seven games, the English club proposed a reduced offer, which was accepted to avoid the player returning to Brazil. The agreement also includes R$19 million in bonuses tied to goals such as performance in the Premier League and possible European qualification.
The transfer represents a relief in the payroll until 2029 and reinforces the need for replacement in the sector. The football department is already working to find a new midfielder who can play alongside or in the absence of Arrascaeta. The board considers the situation as an important learning experience in evaluating large future investments, especially with regard to adaptation and technical return.
DEAL WILL BE COMPLETED AT THE END OF THE MONTH
Signed in August 2024, Alcaraz arrived at Mengão with high expectations , but failed to establish himself. For Everton, the midfielder participated in 17 games, starting seven times. The signing of the definitive contract has already been completed and the transfer will officially take place at the end of this month, ending a short and lackluster cycle for the athlete in Brazilian football.
