After Pedro's serious injury, Flamengo began negotiations to sign striker Anthony Martial. However, the talks did not progress, and the French player is close to signing a contract with AEK Athens, from Greece.
According to information from journalist Matteo Moretto, transfer specialist, Anthony Martial reached a verbal agreement with the Greek club. However, there are still some pending issues, but these are just details of the contract. Thus, AEK Athens is the most likely destination for the striker, who is out of contract.
Anthony was offered to Mais Querido by his agents since February this year, when he still had a contract with Manchester United. However, after Pedro's serious injury, the agents once again made the player's name available to Rubro-Negro.
However, Mais Querido opened negotiations, but did not accept the demands of Anthony's agents Martial. This is because the representatives demanded more than R$2 million in salaries, in addition to gloves. Finally, a three-year contract was requested for the athlete, but Flamengo did not accept the terms.
Flamengo will have to play the remainder of the season without Pedro, who suffered a ruptured ligament in his left knee while training with the Brazilian team. Thus, the red-black board defined that Carlinhos and Gabigol are the viable options for the number 9's place.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
The offer made is 90% of the club

Anthony Martial at Flamengo
Since February this year, Anthony Martial's businesspeople offered the player to Flamengo, when he was still linked to Manchester United. After Pedro's injury, the Frenchman's representatives once again introduced Martial to Mengão. However, negotiations did not progress due to the demands of the player's representatives, who asked for more than R$2 million in salaries and gloves, in addition to a three-year contract. Flamengo did not accept these conditions, and the negotiation went cold.
Substitute for Pedro
Pedro, top scorer for Flamengo and Brazil, suffered an injury during a training session with the Brazilian team, breaking the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee. The striker is only expected to return in 2025. With the failure of negotiations with Anthony Martial, Flamengo now relies on Bruno Henrique, Carlinhos and Gabigol to continue the season.
In addition, Flamengo reinforced the attack with the signings of Michael and Gonzalo Plata in the last transfer window. Although they don't perform exactly the same role as Pedro, Michael is injured and should return in mid-October, while Gonzalo Plata debuted against Vasco last Sunday (15) and made a good impression on the fans.
