Renê, left-back and former Flamengo player, has his days numbered at Internacional. Champion of the Brasileirão and Libertadores with Flamengo in 2019, the athlete is not expected to remain at the club from Rio Grande do Sul for the 2025 season. His contract with Internacional runs until the end of 2024, but renewal is considered unlikely .
The tendency is for the player to be part of a "boat" of departures from the club, which , in addition to Renê, should release goalkeeper Fabrício, midfielder Hyoran and striker Lucas Alario, players who also did not perform satisfactorily. These athletes have already aroused the interest of their agents, who are starting to look for new opportunities for 2025.
International is betting on Argentine Alexandro Bernabéi as the main option for left back. Developed by Lanús, Bernabéi is a 24-year-old player who gained brief international experience while playing for Celtic, in Scotland. For the Scottish team, the Argentine participated in 27 matches, scored one goal and contributed three assists. The choice of number 26 indicates Inter's desire to have a younger athlete who can add to the construction of a competitive squad for the future.
During his time at Flamengo, Renê built a remarkable track record, being part of the winning squad that won, among other titles, the Brasileirãoand Libertadores in 2019. Hired in 2017, he played until 2022, totaling 207 games and six goals. In addition to the titles mentioned, the full-back won four Carioca Championships, two Brazilian Super Cups and one Recopa Sudamericana, being a name respected by red and black fans.
Flamengo's departure occurred after the arrival of Ayrton Lucas, a full-back who arrived from Russian football and increased competition in the position under the command of coach Paulo Sousa. The "barge" of departures at Internacional highlights the club's need to restructure its squad, looking for options that can increase performance for the next season.
The Spaniard has been at Mengão for just over a month and is already consolidating his position as a starter, praising Jorginho and highlighting the quality of the red-black squad.

Saúl Ñíguez has been playing for Flamengo for just over a month and has already established himself as a key player in coach Filipe Luís's scheme. In just six matches, the Spaniard has attracted attention not only for his individual technique but also for his synergy with Jorginho in midfield.
During an interview at Ninho do Urubu on Friday (29), the player spoke about adapting to and experiencing the intensity of Brazilian football. “ When you know a player, you know their qualities, how they move on the field , and what the coach asks of them. The level of the team helps them perform at their best, and the team's collaborative approach also helps them adapt. The demands and quality are very high. The group is so good that it helps,” he declared.
When asked about his partnership with Jorginho, Saúl was blunt: " Jorginho is a great player, he understands football perfectly. But also Allan, Evertton, Vitinho (Victor Hugo) and many other players who can play in the middle are of a great level," he said before concluding.
" Nico, who is returning from injury, is looking for rhythm. His skill is very high, despite the games I played with Jorginho in the middle. But we won't always be able to count on Jorginho, we have to value all our teammates," concluded the midfielder.
With Saúl available, Flamengo arrives in high spirits for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. After the impressive 8-0 victory against Vitória, at Maracanã, the team led by Filipe Luís returns to the field against Grêmio, next Sunday (30).

Flamengo heads into the 22nd round of the Brasileirão in high spirits. After a resounding 8-0 victory over Vitória at Maracanã , Filipe Luís's team has 46 points and leads the competition in isolation.
The next challenge takes place again at Maracanã, this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), against Grêmio . And the Flamengo team will do its last training session during the morning of this Saturday (29), for the confrontation.
One of the season's standouts, Italian-Brazilian Jorginho, is a concern after experiencing thigh pain during the week. The player, a key midfielder, only performed indoor activities at the training center's gym.
Still, he's expected to be available for the match against Grêmio. If he needs to be rested, Filipe Luís could opt to rest him, but the coaching staff considers the midfielder's presence likely. Alongside Saúl and Arrascaeta, the player has formed one of the most consistent trios in Brazilian football.
Since taking over the team, Filipe Luís has maintained a high level of intensity that has resulted in important victories and consistent performance in the tournament. The rout over Vitória confirmed the team's momentum, and over 60,000 fans are expected at Maracanã.
The Minas Gerais team is looking for a new coach after Cuca's departure and is considering Tite and Jorge Sampaoli, both of whom have played for Mengão, as the main options.

Atlético-MG is undergoing changes following their elimination to Cruzeiro in the Copa do Brasil. The 2-0 home defeat led to the departure of coach Cuca, and the board is already working on a search for a new manager . According to ESPN Brasil, two former Flamengo coaches are emerging as favorites behind the scenes: Tite and Jorge Sampaoli.
Among those considered, Sampaoli has shown interest in returning to Galo. The Argentine closely followed the Minas Gerais classic last Wednesday (27), evaluated the squad and would be willing to resume the position without requiring immediate reinforcements.
Jorge Sampaoli managed Flamengo in 2023, during which time he led the team in 39 matches, achieving 20 wins. However, he suffered early eliminations, including relegation from the Copa Libertadores, as well as a runner-up finish in the Copa do Brasil and a subpar performance in the Brasileirão.
Tite subsequently took over after the Argentine's departure. The coach from Rio Grande do Sul led the team to 68 games, winning 41 and winning the 2024 Campeonato Carioca . Despite winning the state title, his tenure ended after a disappointing Libertadores campaign, leaving him with the reins of Filipe Luís.
While Atlético-MG is looking for a new coach, Mengão maintains its positive streak under the command of Filipe Luís. The team applied a historic 8-0 thrashing to Vitória, at Maracanã, last Monday (25) , and remains isolated at the top of the Brasileirão. In the next round, Flamengo faces Grêmio on Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), also at Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the national competition.
