This Monday (12), Crystal Palace and Chelsea complete the 24th round of the Premier League in a London classic scheduled for 5pm (Brasília time). For the match, Eagles coach Roy Hodgson will have Brazilian striker Matheus França, formerly of Flamengo, who has been appearing frequently in recent matches. Signed for 25 million euros (R$ 133.72 million, at current prices) by the British club, the Gávea child has had a difficult start in the English Championship.

So far, counting his 9 appearances for Palace's main team, Matheus has not yet registered goals or assists in the 190 minutes he has been on the field. In these 9 duels, France saw its club win just 1 victory. During the period, there were still 6 defeats and 2 draws.


In an exclusive interview with ESPN given in August last year, however, Roy Hodgson already predicted that the Brazilian would have a difficult start in the Premier League. At the time, the experienced coach revealed that the striker arrived at the English club with a minor injury, which hindered his first training sessions and initial adaptation to the new country.


"We have to remember that he is young and in the He is currently recovering from an injury. This means that, at first, he will not be able to train with us and be on the list of personnel right away. It's a shame, as we wanted to have him with us sooner", lamented the commander .

In conversation with the reporter, Hodgson praised Matheus and said he saw "great qualities" in the athlete. However, he also highlighted that it would take time for him to evolve in some aspects, which would allow him to play more regularly.


In the last rounds of the English Championship, France has been starting on the bench and entering the 2nd time. He only started once: against Everton, on January 4th.

Flamengo continues negotiating with Lazio in Italy, the terms of the midfielder's loan Marcos Antônio. One of the main points of discussion between the clubs is the mandatory purchase clause, which the Italian club wants to impose if the player plays in 50% of the matches during the loan period. Rubro-Negro, in turn, did not accept this condition and is trying to adjust the definition of "games" to this goal.

This lack of definition has been one of the main obstacles in negotiations, as Flamengo seeks greater flexibility in the conditions that would force the athlete to purchase. Another important point under discussion is the value of the purchase option. The expectation is that Flamengo will pay between 5 and 6 million euros (approximately R$30.4 to R$36.4 million at current prices), in addition to additional bonuses, to acquire Marcos Antônio permanently.

FLAMENGO AND ITS DEFINITION BY THE NEW REINFORCEMENT


Flamengo is carefully evaluating the numbers involved in the transaction. The club seeks to balance investments to reinforce the squad without compromising its finances. Marcos Antônio is a young midfielder who stood out in European football. A graduate of Athletico-PR's youth teams, he transferred to Estoril, in Portugal, before arriving at Lazio, in Italy. His technical ability and game vision caught the attention of Flamengo, who see the player as a potential reinforcement for the team led by Tite.


Negotiations between Flamengo and Lazio should continue in the coming days. The expectation is that both parties will reach an agreement that is satisfactory to everyone involved. Meanwhile, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market, looking for reinforcements that can contribute to the continuation of the season.

Behind the scenes at Flamengo are busy looking for reinforcements for next season. The Rio club, always attentive to market opportunities, is now focusing on signing midfielder Marcos Antônio, currently at Lazio, in Italy. In addition to him, there are other names on the agenda, but which have not yet been leaked to the press.

Directors Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel, responsible for Flamengo's negotiations, will soon embark for Europe. The report found that the English capital, London, is on the itinerary, suggesting that directors are keeping an eye on more than one player and that talks could involve other European clubs besides Lazio.


MARCOS ANTONIO IS A PRIORITY MÁXIMA 


Marcos Antônio is 24 years old and has already accepted the proposal from Flamengo for a one-year loan. The young midfielder, who stood out in European football, welcomes the opportunity to wear the red and black shirt and return to Brazil to play for one of the country's biggest clubs. However, the negotiation is not simple and there are still pending issues to be resolved with the Italian club.

The main obstacle to completing the loan are the triggers that would determine the purchase obligation at the end of the period. Lazio wants to ensure that Flamengo commits to buying the player permanently if some goals are achieved during the loan. The red-black leaders will travel to Rome to try to adjust these details and close the agreement.

Creative of Flamengo's youth divisions, Rodrigo Muniz gained value at Fulham, in England, during the last European season. With ten goals in 33 matches played, he draws the attention of the country's giants, such as Chelsea and Tottenham. Both consulted on the center forward's situation, according to the GOAL portal.

Currently managed by the company CCA Base, from England, Rodrigo Muniz has gained notoriety in local football. In the last 16 games played for Fulham last season, the Brazilian scored nine goals, all in the Premier League. He also provided an assist during the period.


In the final stretch of the season, he began to attract the interest of English giants. Chelsea and Tottenham made contact about the athlete's situation at Craven Cottage. Both are evaluating the possibility of investing in the player.


Last year, two clubs in Brazil tried to sign Rodrigo Muniz. Atlético-MG and Grêmio considered removing him from English football, but Fulham's request was €8 million (R$45.5 million at current prices) for the negotiation. The athlete was shaken by Galo's proposal, but was advised to continue in British football.

Today, Fulham's request to negotiate him with an English football club is valued at between €30 million (R $170.6 million) and €40 million (R$227.5 million). The athlete's appreciation is due to his performance in the final stretch of the 2023/2024 Premier League.


Rodrigo Muniz's contract with Fulham does not have a termination fine - English legislation does not require a termination fine in player contracts . The item is optional, and the 23-year-old center forward does not have an established value for leaving the club.

The striker's contract with the London team ends on June 30, 2026, but there is the option to renew the contract for another season. The most likely is that he will be traded in the current transfer window.
