A target of Flamengo in the first transfer window of the season, midfielder André Franco was removed and should no longer take the field for FC Porto. The midfielder and three other athletes started training separately from the squad after the 2-2 draw with Famalicão, on Saturday (13), and coach Sérgio Conceição made clear his irritation with the players when commenting on the decision.
< “Now do I have to justify my work? Talking here creates situations where there is nothing to say. I can decide to have six or seven players do a specific job, at different times. There is no more to say. To play for Porto, it is not enough to have a contract, whether to play or work”, said the coach at a press conference this Tuesday (16).According to the newspaper Record, the club's board of directors was very uncomfortable with the performance of the quartet in recent games. Therefore, in a joint decision with the coach, the players were removed and should no longer enter the field until the end of the season, in May.
Flamengo tried to sign André Franco at the beginning of the season and, still interested in the athlete, they could benefit from the problems with the club. The team offered 4 million euros (R$21.5 million, at the price at the time), but Porto refused and the deal did not move forward. The red-black objective was to present a new offer in the transfer window that will open in July.
The information is that Porto would originally like values between 7 and 8 million euros to release the player, something around R$39 and R$44.7 million. The expectation, however, is that the team will relax its demands in the next window to find a new club for the athlete. Fla will most likely try to reinforce.
André Franco played 23 games this season, 12 as a starter, with one goal and three assists. The midfielder has an average pass accuracy of 89%, 1.7 ball recoveries per match and stands out mainly for his ability to defend his own area and attack the opponent's field with intensity.
Marcos Braz commented on the possibility of Flamengo going to market in the middle of the yearFlamengo spent R$ 161 million and closed its squad for the start of the season with four reinforcements: De La Cruz, Viña, Léo Ortiz and Carlinhos. However, the group still suffers from some gaps, such as the right-back and midfield, and the directors admit the possibility of new signings in the mid-year window.
During the presentation of striker Carlinhos, last Friday (12), football vice Marcos Braz stated that the team is always monitoring the market. He assured that Fla will make new moves if they lose an athlete or coach Tite makes a specific request.
It is worth remembering that Fla tried to sign André Franco and Maycon, from Corinthians, before the window closed . Offers that indicate the technical committee's assessment of the need for another midfielder in the squad.

Last Wednesday (18), representatives from Flamengo and Caixa Econômica Federal held another meeting to resolve the impasse surrounding the Gasologista land, acquired by the club in July. The meeting had the support of Rio de Janeiro City Hall and the Attorney General's Office (AGU), and a new meeting scheduled for next week, in Brasília, could seal the definitive agreement. The information was released by journalist Diogo Dantas, from the newspaper "O Globo".
Mengão's board of directors, represented by president Rodolfo Landim, vice-general Rodrigo Dunshee, CEO Reinaldo Belotti and vice-president of equity Marcos Bodin, was optimistic about the possibility of a solution soon. Caixa questions the amount paid by the club at the land auction, but everything indicates that an additional amount could resolve the legal conflict by next month.
The meeting was also attended by deputy Pedro Paulo and the club's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, who have acted as intermediaries between the club and the mayor from Rio, Eduardo Paes. In August, a meeting involving the bank's president, Carlos Vieira, president Lula and mayor Eduardo Paes had already signaled the path to an agreement.
Mais Querido's director of external relations, Cacau Cotta, highlighted that the agreement is the ideal way to give peace of mind to the club. "For the club, a good agreement is always better than an eternal discussion about values. The land has already been expropriated. The agreement is ideal to eliminate any doubts and for Flamengo to have the necessary peace of mind to begin the work", said Cotta.

On the other hand, Mais Querido has to deal with six confirmed absences. Cebolinha, Pedro, Luiz Araújo, Gabigol, Michael and Viña are out of the match, all due to injuries. These absences complicate the formation of coach Tite, who will have to adjust the team to seek a good result playing at home.
This Thursday's clash is extremely important for the CRF. The Rio team needs a convincing victory to travel more calmly to Uruguay for the second leg, scheduled for September 26th. An impressive score at Maracanã would be essential to guarantee a solid advantage in the tie and ease the pressure for the second game.

A former Flamengo target in the primeira window of the year, is almost certainly a rival from Rio. This is because Botafogo overcame previous difficulties with Udinese and is still in the process of signing Matheus Martins, a 21-year-old striker. The operation will cost 10 million euros (R$ 60 million), with a further 2 million euros in bonuses, for 90% of the attacker's economic rights.
Only the athlete's signature separates the negotiation from being assured officially, but both parties already consider the operation as done.
Flamengo even negotiated with the striker, while he was on vacation in Rio de Janeiro. Some meetings took place, but there was no agreement with the Europeans. Another point was that at the time of the red-black attack, the player had the desire to continue in Europe.
So far, the rubro-negro< /a> has not signed any players since the start of the transfer window. The attempts with midfielder Marcos Antônio were unsuccessful and the Rio club ended up taking a beating from São Paulo, which signed the player. So far, the only name in which Flamengo is negotiating is with midfielder Claudinho, from Zenit, in Russia. Despite the Russians' tough game, everything is fine between the player and Flamengo.
