Flamengo is keeping an eye on the South American market in search of reinforcements for next season. According to information provided by Matias Torres, a source close to the Rio club, the target is the promising Uruguayan striker Luciano Rodríguez, currently at Liverpool Montevideo.


At just 20 years old, Rodríguez has already demonstrated versatility and talent in attack, which makes him a valuable piece for any team. His contract with Liverpool Montevideo extends until 2027, but Flamengo is willing to invest in his services.


The interest of Flamengo is not unique. Other Serie A clubs showed interest in the young striker earlier this year. His performance on the field has caught the attention of scouts and coaches, who see in him great potential to stand out in the Brazilian football scene.


FLAMENNGO GOES TO THE MARKET HEAVY

The year 2023 was remarkable for Luciano Rodríguez. In addition to winning the Uruguayan Championship with Liverpool Montevideo, the player played a fundamental role in winning the U20 World Cup with the Uruguayan National Team. These achievements did not go unnoticed by observers of international football, who now see in him a promise to be explored.


The possible signing of Luciano Rodríguez by Flamengo represents a bet on the club's future. With a squad already full of stars, the arrival of the young striker could bring freshness and an important tactical alternative for the coach and the team. For now, negotiations are at an early stage, and there are no guarantees that the deal will be completed. Flamengo will have to negotiate with Liverpool Montevideo and with the player himself to reach a satisfactory agreement for all parties involved.

Psychic Reveals Letters


Psychic Luiz Filho, known for his channel Renascer das Cartas, shared his spiritual predictions for the clash between the Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro teams. According to him, the cards reveal a balanced outlook, but slightly favorable to the home team . " Atlético-MG came with the High Priestess card. This indicates a good understanding of the game and strategic preparation. The club will know how to capitalize on the result and turn it into an advantage," said the psychic.

For the Mais Querido side , the reading was less comfortable : " Flamengo also has a difficult card, which is the "Hanged Man" card, of resilience. They'll need to use their creative side. I see a lot of balance; Atlético-MG will have a good start. Flamengo may struggle, but they'll have a lethal outcome. However, I see more possibilities for Atlético-MG."

Atlético-MG and Flamengo face off this Wednesday (6) in a decisive duel for the round of 16 of the 2025 Copa do Brasil. The match takes place at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte , and will be broadcast live on Sportv and Premiere.


In the first leg, played at Maracanã, the Minas Gerais team won 1-0 and now has the advantage of a draw to secure qualification for the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Rubro-Negro , coached by Filipe Luís, needs a simple one-goal victory to take the final to penalties. A win by two or more goals will advance directly to the next stage of the tournament.


ATLÉTICO-MG IN GOOD PHASE


Atlético is in good form. Cuca's team has won its last two matches. First, it beat Flamengo 1-0 in the first leg of the round of 16, despite playing away from home. Last weekend, in a Brazilian Championship match, the Minas Gerais team dominated Red Bull Bragantino and emerged with a 2-1 victory.

FLAMENGO HAS SHORTAGES


On the red-and-black side, coach Filipe Luís will have to deal with important absences. Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo are not on the roster due to workload constraints, a result of the season's backlog of matches. Flamengo 's mission will be to win with authority away from home to maintain its chance of winning another Copa do Brasil title. The club has won the title in 1990, 2006, 2013, 2022, and 2024.

Arsenal sets price for Gabriel Jesus, striker being approached by Flamengo

The Brazilian national team striker's name was speculated on Mais Querido, but transfer fees and salary make the deal unfeasible.

Given Flamengo's recent difficulties in signing a new number 9, a speculated name has resurfaced among fans: Gabriel Jesus . The Brazilian national team striker, currently at Arsenal in England, has reportedly been placed on the London club's transfer list for the next transfer window.


The asking price is around £30 million (approximately R$191 million at the current exchange rate) . The push for attacking reinforcements gained momentum after rejections from players like Lucas Beltrán and Mehdi Taremi, who opted to remain in European football.


ASTRONOMICAL MARKET VALUE AND WAGES


Despite being one of the most mentioned names by fans on social media and specialized forums, Gabriel Jesus' arrival in Brazilian football is considered extremely unlikely at this time. Arsenal's proposed fee is far above the financial reality of South American football, even for a club with significant investment power like Flamengo .

In addition to the high transfer fee required, the player's current salary—comparable to Premier League standards—would pose an even greater challenge. The English club, seeking to balance its finances and make room for reinforcements in other positions, sees the Brazilian striker as one of its main bargaining chips in the next window.


FLAMENGO REMAINS ON THE MARKET

Flamengo 's board continues to monitor the market for a center forward who fits the profile desired by Filipe Luís's coaching staff. After frustrations in negotiations with players who opted to remain on the Old Continent, the club is seeking viable alternatives that can strengthen the squad without compromising its financial planning.
