With Varela serving for the Uruguayan national team in the Copa América, Wesley once again assumed the role of Flamengo's starting right-back. After an encouraging start in 2023, Wesley fell from production, got involved in some off-field confusion and ended up being relegated to the position of permanent reserve for the Uruguayan full-back.
But the fact is that neither Wesley nor Varela move on to the red and black fans the security they want for the position and the fans dream of having a full-back as competent as Rafinha again in his time at the club between 2019 and 2020.
Tite seeks a balance in the setup of the squad and knows that his left side, with Ayrton Lucas and Matias Viña, is much stronger than his right side. However, the red-and-black coach defined a box-to-box midfielder and a right winger as priorities. Flamengo's football board is still in the market looking for options on the right flank and knows that the fans' demand is for a full-back who definitively solves the problem in the sector.
For this reason, the board understands that the name must be well studied and that the signing, if it happens, must be to put an end to the problem definitively, remedying the judicious will of its fans.
Khleven, formerly of Atlético-PR, who is now at CSKA da Russia, was surveyed recently, but the great performance of the 23-year-old right-back in his first season for the Russian team made him value it and today the values are outside of what Flamengo understands to reinforce itself in the next window.
Gonzalo Montiel is another name that has always interested Flamengo's board and the Red and Black fans approve.
Returning from a loan from Nottingham Forest, Sevilla has not yet defined what the athlete's situation will be. With the retirement of Jesus Navas, the Argentine defender could gain another chance in the Spanish team.
Recently, Montiel said he wanted to remain in Europe, whether at Sevilla or another club, and that the moment he decides to return to South America, River Plate will be your priority.

Flamengo begins its journey towards the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday (18) . The first leg against Estudiantes (ARG) will be held at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and will have a full house.
All tickets were sold in advance, guaranteeing an estimated attendance of around 69,000. The expectation is that the Red-Black Nation will fill every section of the stadium , transforming the Maracanã into a cauldron to push the team toward victory.
The team will have important reinforcements. Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela , who were absent last Sunday (14) against Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , trained normally this Tuesday (16) and should be available to the coach again.
Despite their returns, Rubro-Negro will remain without midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro, and defensive midfielder Pulgar , who are still recovering. The likely lineup for the game includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Fans will be able to watch the match live on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). The second leg will be held next week in La Plata, Argentina, and will determine who advances to the semifinals.
Signed at zero cost, the Spaniard quickly gained a place in Mais Querido, receiving praise from the Spanish press for his recent performances.

Despite being signed only in the last transfer window, Saúl Ñíguez has already become one of the most important players in Flamengo's squad . The Spanish midfielder arrived at the club on a free transfer and quickly established himself in the starting lineup.
Spanish newspaper Marca highlighted the athlete's rapid adaptation. " The former Atlético de Madrid player arrived at Flamengo with the mission of becoming an important player and maintaining a prominent role in the starting lineup . His adaptation didn't take long," the publication reported.
According to the publication, Saúl is experiencing "a second youth" in Brazilian football and has already established himself as a key midfielder. Despite only registering one assist in eight games , he has played a more defensive role in Filipe Luís's team.
In the victory over Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , Saúl started alongside Allan in midfield and provided the assist for Arrascaeta's goal in the 31st minute of the first half.
Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, to face Estudiantes, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. Saúl Ñíguez should once again be among the starters for the red-black team.

Assistant Helio Griner highlighted the importance of the athletes' adaptation period: "We've been training for a few months, but this year we had many players called up to national teams, in different categories. Four of the adults and Maša arrived from the World Cup and will gradually adapt," he said before adding.
"It's an exciting time. The team has been revamped, and I believe we're capable of competing for major titles. Now, we have to respect each other's limits to finish this week strong and have a good tournament next week," he said.
