Bap treats Flamengo's deal with Betano as a partnership

Striker Michael is emerging as the top name among the players who could leave Flamengo this transfer window. The athlete has already communicated to the board his desire to pursue new career opportunities, but has not yet received an official offer.

Another player whose future may soon be decided is Juninho. The midfielder's representatives presented two loan proposals about a month ago, but both were rejected by the club's management, who deemed them unprofitable. Despite this, his agents are still looking for alternatives. This information comes from the Voz do Ninho website.

LACK OF SPACE ON THE TEAM

Within the club, the perception is that the lack of playing time could influence the retention of some players. In Michael's case, offers arrived from Saudi Arabia, but all in the form of a loan . The board preferred not to move forward, seeking more favorable terms.

As a result, the striker lost his place in the rotation, falling behind Filipe Luís in certain selections. This situation reinforces the need for roster adjustments, especially given the "large number of players" recently mentioned by the coach himself.

OUTGOING ATHLETES

Besides Michael and Juninho, other players are also being considered. Midfielder Victor Hugo, who recently returned from loan, has yet to establish himself and could be traded again . Defender Cleiton, who has been underused, also appears on the list of possible departures.

Flamengo TV launches this Thursday (21) a new attraction for the Red-Black Nation : “Resenha do Galinho”, hosted by idol Zico . The program promises to revive memories, unite past and present and, already at its premiere, will have a special guest — coach Filipe Luís.

WHAT WILL THE PROGRAM FORMAT BE LIKE?

The first episode will air this Thursday, while the second is scheduled for next Tuesday (26). From then on, the program will be shown biweekly. The difference is that the guests will participate in pairs , with the exception of the premiere, in which Filipe Luís will be interviewed individually.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CONVERSATION WITH FILIPE LUÍS?

During the chat, Zico even touched on the coach's sleep routine, admitting to waking up in the middle of the night with ideas for the team . When asked if he'd ever put any into practice, Filipe responded good-naturedly: "Yes, I have, thanks, but it's a shame. Because I don't rest," he said, drawing laughter from Galinho.

WHO WILL BE THE NEXT GUEST DUO?

After the premiere, “ Resenha do Galinho ” returns on Tuesday (26) with Léo Ortiz and Mozer, two symbols of the red-black defense in different times . The current number 3 was recently praised by Zico himself and was even honored by the idol at Ninho do Urubu.

ZICO CALLS ON THE NATION

On social media, Flamengo announced the debut and included a message from Zico to encourage fans: "Guys, I just recorded the first program 'Resenha do Galinho', here on Flamengo TV, with the great Filipe Luís. We're waiting for you ."

CONMEBOL's 2026 World Cup qualifiers are underway , but Vinicius Junior's absence from Brazil's preliminary squad has drawn attention . Coach Carlo Ancelotti decided not to call up the striker for the matches against Chile and Bolivia, a move that has sparked discussions about squad planning and management.

WHY WAS VINICIUS JUNIOR SPARED?

According to Ancelotti, the decision is part of a strategy to rest and maintain physical health. Suspended against Chile due to a backlog of cards, Ancelotti felt he could leave the player out. The coach opted to extend the recovery period, given the former Flamengo player's fatigue throughout the season .

ATTACKER'S RECENT PERFORMANCE

After shining in 2023/24, winning titles with Real Madrid and being named Champions League Player of the Year, Vini Jr. started the 2025/26 season at a slower pace. He managed just one goal and one assist in six FIFA Club World Cup matches , a performance that raised questions about his fitness.

BRAZIL FACES CHALLENGES IN THE QUALIFIERS

The national team currently sits sixth in the qualifying rounds, with just two wins in six games. In addition to Vini Jr. 's absence, there is uncertainty over Neymar's call-up. As a result, Ancelotti has been relying on the depth of his squad , making room for new players to show their worth.

FOCUS ON THE FUTURE

Despite his current situation, Vini Jr. remains a key player for Brazil. The expectation is that, in peak form, the striker will play a key role in the run-up to the 2026 World Cup . Between club and country, managing his physical load is seen as essential for him to remain a protagonist on the international stage.
