Negotiating for new players, Flamengo has also been receiving inquiries for its athletes. This time, the Rubro-Negra board received a proposal from Estoril, a Portuguese club, for goalkeeper Hugo Souza. The archer has not been used by Sampaoli and with the arrival of Rossi, he will become the fourth option for Mais Querido's goal. The information is from journalist Venê Casagrande.
This is not the first time that the Portuguese team has shown interest in signing the goalkeeper and, this time, they proposed a loan. A director from the European club, Pedro Alves, was in Rio de Janeiro, where he met with members of the Flamengo board and was present at Maracanã to watch the Fla-Flu classic, in the Copa do Brasil.
A Flamengo's board of directors welcomes the possibility of transferring Hugo Souza. The goalkeeper's representatives are aware of Estoril's interest and are awaiting the official document to advance in negotiations. Hugo was used a lot at Flamengo in 2021, when Ceni and Paulo Sousa made great use of the athlete who experienced ups and downs wearing the Gávea club's shirt.
Even with reduced minutes on the field and matches without playing, the number 9 remains in Raposa's plans, which reinforces confidence in the player until the end of his contract.

Gabigol, formerly of Flamengo, has been facing a period of low minutes at Cruzeiro , playing mostly as an option on the bench. Last Monday (18), against Mirassol, the number 9 didn't even take the field. Despite this, the striker's contract with the Celeste team runs until December 2028, and the board guarantees that he remains in the club's plans.
In an interview with journalist Jaeci's channel, Pedro Junio, vice president of Cruzeiro's SAF, highlighted the striker's dedication and denied any possibility of a departure at this time. " We are very confident with Gabriel. He is a high-level, high-performance athlete who is dedicated to the club. He has been given opportunities and is fully integrated into the squad," the director stated.
According to him, there's no sign of the player's dissatisfaction with the current situation. " Gabriel is super happy here at the club, let's be clear about that. He's never expressed dissatisfaction with whether he's playing or not, or whether he's part of the scheme or not. He's happy and dedicated, always available; he's a technical option," added Pedro Junio.
Gabigol started the season as a starter, but from the third round of the Brazilian Championship onwards, he began to appear on the bench under coach Leonardo Jardim. Since then, he has started only twice, accumulating 557 minutes on the pitch , including injury time. Despite the reduction in playing time, Cruzeiro believes the player can be decisive later in the season and emphasizes that he remains part of the club's project.
In 2025, Gabigol played 30 matches for Cruzeiro, scoring 11 goals and providing four assists under Leonardo Jardim. Despite a strong start, the loss of a starting spot and early elimination from international competitions diminished his prominence.
