Now it's official! Igor Jesus is no longer a Flamengo player. The midfielder's contractual termination was published in the Daily Newsletter (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) this Monday (02). Therefore, the 21-year-old is now free to sign with Estrela Amadora, from Portugal.
The Portuguese team will pay 2 million euros (R$12 million) to Flamengo for 50% of Igor Jesus' economic rights . Furthermore, the contract will be valid for four seasons. After the agreement was reached, the midfielder traveled last Saturday (31) to Portugal.
It is worth mentioning that the midfielder lost space in Tite's team to Allan and Evertton Araújo and only entered the field in two games in the last three months. In this way, the young man's staff viewed his departure with good eyes to gain 'more experience' in Portugal.
For Flamengo
Igor Jesus debuted in Flamengo's main team in 2022. At that time year, the young player played in six matches, before returning to the under-20s. In total, the midfielder leaves the red-black club after 32 games and two assists given to his teammates.
For Flamengo, Igor Jesus won two titles. As a professional, the midfielder became champion of this year's Campeonato Carioca, defeating Nova Iguaçu in the final. Furthermore, at base, the player won the Brazilian Under-20 Championship cup in the 2023 season.
Military Police reject Cruz-Maltino's request for the game to be held at the stadium, with or without a single crowd; Board will evaluate next steps

The classic between Vasco and Flamengo will not be at São Januário . In an official statement, this Thursday (3), the Specialized Battalion for Policing in Stadiums (BEPE) refused the request of Cruz-Maltino for the game to be at the stadium. The entity, after all, alleges "security risks on the perimeter and inside the sports square" .
The decision was made based on the unit's strategic analyses that point to security risks.
"The SEPM Press Office informs that the command of the Specialized Battalion for Policing in Stadiums (BEPE) opposed the request of the Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama for the next classic between Vasco and Flamengo, scheduled for April 19, to be held at the São Januário Stadium. The decision was made based on the unit's strategic analyses that point to security risks on the perimeter and inside the sports arena in games of this nature" , says the statement.
Now, Vasco needs to decide where to host the classic match on April 19th. The CBF regulations prohibit the match from being transferred to another state, since the request for this must be made at least 20 days in advance. In addition, Nilton Santos will host a musical event on the same day and will not be able to host the match. A likely location would be Raulino de Oliveira, in Volta Redonda .
LAST MEETING BETWEEN THE TEAMS AT CRUZMALTINO STADIUM
It is worth remembering that the last match between the teams at São Januário, in 2017, ended in chaos. Flamengo won the match 1-0, and Vasco fans threw bombs and objects at the red-and-black players, who were unable to access the tunnel. There was also an attempt to invade the field and a confrontation with the Military Police.
Since then, the only derby at the stadium took place in 2020 without the presence of fans. The Cruzmaltino adopted the same stance in the Campeonato Carioca, when it took the first game of the semifinal to Engenhão, which Mais Querido won 1-0.
Even with absences, the red-black coach takes to the field the same base that faced Internacional at Maracanã, for the Brasileirão
