Cruzeiro remains interested in signing Matheus Gonçalves and believes it can close the deal. The deal was practically finalized but was canceled at the last minute—the player even learned of the move on the sidelines after a youth team match.


Now, the Minas Gerais club is back in the hunt to convince Flamengo to release the young attacking midfielder. According to Goal, Cruzeiro's vice president of football, Pedro Junio, is in contact with the player's staff , seeking a solution that will please all parties.


FLAMENGO DOES NOT INTEND TO NEGOTIATE


Currently, Cruzeiro is resisting the idea of selling the player directly to a competitor in the Brasileirão, a position supported by part of the board. Meanwhile, CSKA Moscow of Russia has also expressed interest but has not yet formalized an official offer. Matheus Gonçalves, however, wants to play for Cruzeiro , believing that at the Minas Gerais club he will get more minutes on the field and a chance to compete for a starting spot.

THE CRUISE PROPOSAL


Cruzeiro's initial offer was €3.5 million (approximately R$22 million) for 50% of the player's economic rights . Flamengo would retain half of his transfer rights, aiming for a profit in any future negotiations. The impasse occurred in July, when the deal was finally finalized and Matheus Gonçalves was very close to leaving Ninho do Urubu.

FOCUS ON THE LIBERTADORES

While Matheus Gonçalves waits to know his future, Flamengo prepares for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 against Internacional at Maracanã. The match is this Wednesday (13) at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) and will be broadcast on Rede Globo, ESPN and Disney+.

Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (13) to face Internacional in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The ball rolls at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, with broadcast on Globo on open TV . The match will also be shown on ESPN, on subscription TV, and on Disney+, via streaming.


PROBABLE LINEUP


Coach Filipe Luís is expected to field Luiz Araújo in place of Arrascaeta , who is suspended due to a backlog of yellow cards. Thus, the likely lineup for the red-and-blacks is: Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Allan; Luiz Araújo, Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.


The main news is Jorginho's return to the starting lineup after serving a suspension in the Brasileirão victory over Mirassol. The number 10 will be a significant absence, sitting out the decisive stage of the continental tournament. Expectations are high for a possible debut for Jorge Carrascal, who didn't leave the bench against Leão.

FLAMENGO SITUATION


Flamengo and Internacional enter the field looking to open up an advantage for the return match, which will take place next Wednesday (20), at Beira-Rio. Rubro-Negro arrives buoyed by the leadership of the Brasileirão, even with a game less , after defeating Mirassol 2-1 last weekend - a result that helped to recover the spirit of the squad after the early elimination in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG.

AND INTER?

Internacional also won in the last Brasileirão match before facing Mengão , when they beat Red Bull Bragantino 3-1 away from home, and interrupted a sequence of four consecutive games without a win, where they were even eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by Fluminense.
