English club makes proposal to sign Flamengo star - check it out

Felipe Vizeu, 28 , is about to end his career at Clube do Remo to join Sporting Cristal in Peru . The information was released by journalist Diego Penny of Movistar Deportes, who indicated that negotiations between the teams are already underway, although the agreement has not yet been made official.

Signed by Leão in January, Vizeu played 26 matches and scored three goals for the blue team. In Série B, he played 13 matches and scored just one goal, a performance below expectations created upon his arrival.

PASSAGE THROUGH THE ROW

During his time at Baenão, the center forward won the Campeonato Paraense, but in recent months he has faced criticism due to his limited performance. As the team sought to improve its position in Série B, the pressure intensified, and Vizeu failed to establish himself as an attacking reference.

With previous spells at Flamengo, Ceará, Criciúma and Grêmio, as well as experience in European and Japanese football , the striker sees Sporting Cristal as an opportunity to regain prominence and give his career a new direction.

FELIPE VIZEU'S NUMBERS AT FLAMENGO

Revealed by Flamengo, Vizeu played for the first team from 2016 to 2018, making 75 appearances. In 2016, he appeared in 26 matches, including matches in the Brazilian Championship and Copa do Brasil. The following year, he appeared in 38 matches, establishing himself as a reliable attacking option, especially in the Copa Sudamericana.

According to the Flaestatística website, the striker accumulated 35 wins, 20 draws, and 20 losses with the red-and-black jersey. Although he didn't become a regular starter, he made his mark in decisive moments, such as scoring important goals in the knockout stages of continental tournaments.

Rodrigo Muniz's journey in European football is about to enter a new chapter. The striker, who came through the ranks at Flamengo and is currently playing for Fulham, is very close to signing with Atalanta in Italy. According to journalist Nicolò Schira, a transfer specialist, talks have made significant progress , and the deal is practically finalized.

The Italian club is preparing a €35 million (approximately R$221.5 million) offer plus bonuses for the 24-year-old striker. The verbal agreement provides for a contract until 2029, with the possibility of a one-year extension.

FLAMENGO'S STRATEGY

Flamengo is following the negotiation with great anticipation. This is because, in the 2021 sale, Flamengo retained 25% of the player's economic rights. If the transfer is completed at the reported value, the club should receive approximately €8.75 million (R$55.3 million at the current exchange rate).

The amount could increase with FIFA 's solidarity mechanism, which grants 3% to the training team, representing an additional 1.05 million euros (R$6.6 million). This would bring the total return to around R$62 million , an important financial injection for season planning.

CLUB REMAINS ACTIVE IN THE MARKET

This budget boost comes at an opportune time . After announcing four key signings this summer , Flamengo continues to monitor opportunities to fill gaps in the squad. With more resources available, the board is considering new investments until the market closes in September.

Favorites for the national title over the past eight years, Flamengo and Palmeiras finished the first round remaining among the competition's protagonists. Since 2018, only Atlético-MG (2021) and Botafogo (2024) have broken the dominance, which has seen the club win three times and the club win two times in that period.

In 2025, the competition remains intense: Flamengo leads with a 38.34% chance of winning the title , while Palmeiras is close behind with a 30.37% chance. It's worth remembering that the Rio de Janeiro team still has a match to play, and the São Paulo team has two games less than their regular schedule.

CRUISE COMES AS A SURPRISE

Cruzeiro, with 37 points and a 22.87% chance of winning the championship , has solidified its position as the leader's direct pursuer. Meanwhile, Raposa has already played all 19 matches of the first round and is coming off two home losses to Ceará and Santos.

In head-to-head matches, the Minas Gerais team stood out, defeating both the red-and-black team and Palmeiras at the Mineirão stadium . To remain in contention for the title, the club will need to repeat these victories in the second half, but this time playing away from home.

LATE GAME MAY DEFINE LEADERSHIP

The league leader still has a postponed match against Sport, valid for the 12th round, which was rescheduled due to the team's participation in the Club World Cup . A victory in this match could extend the lead in the table and secure Flamengo 's sole lead.
