According to Mauro Cezar, in search of reinforcements to maintain the high level of competitiveness, Flamengo has a defined target in the Brazilian market: a versatile midfielder who can occupy the position of second midfielder. The search for this player gained prominence due to the expected absence of Gerson, a key player in the red and black tactical scheme, who will face a period of absence from the field estimated at three months.
The signing of a new midfielder has become a priority for Flamengo's technical committee, which seeks to maintain the team's consistency and performance in the face of the season's challenges. With Gerson's departure, it is necessary to find a player who has similar characteristics and who quickly fits into the playing style implemented by the coach.

The search focuses on players who are in good physical and technical shape, as well as having experience in high-level games, both in national and international competitions.
Flamengo is aware of the importance of having a strong squad strong and well-balanced to achieve your goals for the season. Gerson's absence represents a challenge, but it also opens up space for new talents to emerge and stand out in the Brazilian football scene.
