Now under the management of a SAF, Boavista, located in Saquarema — one of the country's major sports centers —, bet on a growth project focused on the most popular sport in Brazil. In search of relevance in the Rio de Janeiro region, the team's ambition is to sign striker Vágner Love, former Flamengo.
The center forward, who played for Flamengo between 2010 and 2012, is currently at Avaí, competing in Série B of the Brasileirão. At 40 years old, Vágner Love still tries to find his good times again and accumulates 20 games in the season, with just two goals scored.
Under the command of the Arte Bola group since the beginning of the year, Boavista plans investments not only in the squad, but also in infrastructure of the club. The team began its journey as SAF with the support of Portuguese businessmen, who, after the Campeonato Carioca, left the partnership.
Soon, Boavista should announce goals for SAF, in addition to the sectors that will receive the main investments, aiming for a competitive position among the big clubs in the state, like Flamengo.
Vágner Love numbers for Flamengo
Vágner Love wore the Sacred Mantle for the first time in 2010, on loan from CSKA, in Russia. There were 29 games and 23 goals, which placed him among the highlights of Brazilian football and made a double with Adriano Imperador, where Flamengo's attack became known as 'Empire of Love'. In 2012, the striker returned to Mengão, playing 51 matches and scoring 24 goals, in addition to providing four assists.
The striker had great success in the 2000s, when he was even called up to the Brazilian team by Dunga, after the 2006 World Cup and even became champion of the Copa América 2007.
The midfielder has not been given opportunities in the Mengão professional team with Filipe Luís and the Russian club is getting closer and closer to closing the deal.

Striker Matheus Gonçalves is close to joining CSKA Moscow in Russia. The Russian club has long-standing interest, but talks have progressed in recent weeks , and Flamengo is already admitting the possibility of losing the 19-year-old.
The proposal involves a loan with an option to buy at the end of the contract. If he excels in Russian football, CSKA will have priority to acquire the player permanently . Matheus' departure, however, is not expected to happen before the U-20 World Cup final, when Flamengo faces Barcelona.
Matheus Gonçalves was once close to a deal with Cruzeiro, but was reinstated to Filipe Luís's squad after strong performances with the U-20 team . Since then, he's played in the Brasileirão derby against Fluminense and was available for the Copa do Brasil clash with Atlético-MG. However, he hasn't left the bench in the last two matches.
Despite his desire to establish himself at Flamengo, Matheus Gonçalves recognizes the need for more regular play —something that's currently difficult to achieve at Rubro-Negro. Therefore, he authorized his staff to seek new opportunities, and CSKA Moscow emerged as an important opportunity, including for his first experience in Europe.
A product of Flamengo's youth academy, the striker played for Red Bull Bragantino in 2023, playing 13 matches . The São Paulo club attempted to sign him permanently, but the deal fell through. This season, Matheus has played 15 games and scored two goals for Flamengo.
The player is a product of Mengão's youth academy and is Galo's new signing for the 2025 season after a disappointing stint at Real Madrid.

Atlético-MG made official this Friday (08) the signing of midfielder Reinier , revealed by Flamengo. The 23-year-old player signed a contract valid until December 31, 2029. According to journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, Mengão consulted the player's representatives, but considered the amounts requested too high for the moment.
Atlético-MG on Reinier, ex-Flamengo: "Reinier is a Rooster"
"Reinier is a Galo! An Olympic champion with experience at clubs in Spain, Germany, and Italy, the midfielder is Atlético's newest addition! At 23, he signed a contract until December 31, 2029, and will be another option for Cuca's squad . Keep it up, Reinier!" the club posted on social media.
Reinier rose to prominence in Brazilian football after being promoted to the professional team in 2019 under Jorge Jesus. That year, he was part of the squads that won the Brasileirão and Libertadores . For Flamengo , the midfielder made 15 appearances, scoring six goals and contributing two assists.
After excelling at Flamengo, he was sold to Real Madrid (ESP), but failed to make the first team. He played on loan at Borussia Dortmund (GER), Girona (ESP), and Frosinone (ITA) before returning to Brazil to play for Atlético-MG.
While Reinier reinforces Galo, Flamengo remains focused on the Brasileirão . This Saturday (09), the team faces Mirassol, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 18th round. The broadcast will be exclusive to Premiere, via pay-per-view.
