COMMENTATOR COMPARES PURCHASING POWER OF FLAMENGO WITH CORINTHIANS (WITH VIDEO)
Flamengo has “a capacity superior to most European clubs”

Paulo Calçade explained in the program the differences that exist in Flamengo's signings, compared to other national teams. From Mengão, international clubs ask for more money for their players, because it has a “greater capacity than most European clubs”. On the other hand, they manage to buy cheaper from teams like Corinthians.
In a program on ESPN, the commentator defended his opinion on the current transfer window and Flamengo's actions on the subject on Thursday night (20). The team from Rio has shown interest in several players, but recently the highlights were Zenit (RUS) stars Claudinho and Wendel.
Calçade believes that “the Russians”, referring to the club's management, are aware of how Flamengo is a different team from other Brazilians, due to its high purchasing power. “They ask Flamengo a lot, but when they come here to hire from Corinthians, they offer very little to Corinthians and take away any player. In the case of Flamengo, they'll want as much as they can.”
The journalist's speech is not far from reality, if we look at the prices that Zenit has been asking for the striker and midfielder. Flamengo's last offer for Claudinho was 15 million euros (almost 80 million reais at current prices), while Wendel costs 20 million euros (almost 107 million reais at current prices) in the eyes of the Russian team. Negotiations with the red-black are at the European level, according to the commentator. He recognizes that Mengão still doesn't have capital like Real Madrid, Chelsea or Manchester City, but already negotiates “almost with a capacity superior to most European clubs.”
From these difficulties, benefits also arise. Competing with other names on the European continent, Flamengo stands out because it operates in the “standard Brazilian” system: “producing in reais to contract in dollars, or euros. So this is extremely relevant, [i.e.] what he is capable of doing.”

After Flamengo's victory over São Paulo this Saturday (12), coach Filipe Luís spoke out about Pedro's actions in the club's daily life. The Mais Querido coach highlighted that the number 9 had unacceptable behavior. Therefore, the athlete's representatives will seek proposals for the player to leave Rubro-Negro.
" We're going to make an offer to Flamengo and try to find a way out ," a representative for Pedro told journalist Venê Casagrande. The response came after a press conference with coach Filipe Luís, who explained the reason for the player's departure.
FILIPE LUÍS DETONATES PEDRO'S ATTITUDES
Pedro was not included by Filipe Luís for the match against São Paulo this Saturday (12). Thus, the coach explained, in a press conference, that the player had unacceptable behavior. In addition, the coach stated that the number 9 should apologize and that he has been training below expectations.
"Pedro's behavior and attitude during the week was deplorable, bordering on ridiculous. Pedro has his personal issues with the club's board, but he's been training poorly for a while now. This week, however, he broke a clear principle we have as a coaching staff and players: training culture ," the coach emphasized before adding:
"For me, what he did was disrespectful, his behavior in training. I didn't hesitate for a moment to leave him out of this game, as this behavior can be contagious. I hope he recovers, apologizes to his teammates and goes back to being Pedro. It's not just a lack of respect for his teammates, it's also for himself, " said Filipe Luís .
PEDRO IN THE SEASON
Pedro returned from a serious injury a few months ago. Since then, the center forward has appeared in 17 matches for Flamengo. He has scored five goals and provided three assists for his teammates.

Roma is watching Wesley, who is still being watched by other clubs and may be leaving Flamengo. The number 43 confirmed during halftime of the match against São Paulo that there is a chance he will leave the club soon.
Wesley talks about a possible departure from Flamengo: "This is a matter for Flamengo's board and my agents ."
WESLEY'S CURRENT SITUATION
Wesley's contract with Flamengo runs until December 2028. Flamengo is demanding €30 million (R$195 million) to sell the young full-back. The player has also made clear his desire to play for a European club.
Therefore, Wesley is one of Roma's (ITA) priorities. This is because the Italian team hired coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who was at Atalanta (ITA). The coach had even considered signing the full-back while he was still at the previous team, but negotiations failed.
ABOUT THAT...
Thus, while Wesley does not receive an official offer, Flamengo remains focused on the next commitments of the season. Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm.

This Saturday (12), Flamengo beat São Paulo by 2-0, in a match valid for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. However, throughout the match, Mais Querido suffered two important losses: Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas. Thus, Rubro-Negro updated the situation of the athletes.

In addition, the club took the opportunity to talk about the situation of Alex Sandro, who will undergo tests this Sunday (13).
AYRTON LUCAS' SITUATION
Left-back Ayrton Lucas suffered direct trauma to his left leg during the second half of the 2-0 victory over São Paulo, resulting in a blunt force trauma of approximately 8 cm. The player received local anesthesia in the locker room, where Flamengo doctor, Dr. Fernando Sassaki, cleaned and initially examined the wound. After confirming the bone exposure, a dressing was applied and the player was then sent for an x-ray, which ruled out a fracture in the region. Ayrton was taken to Barra D'Or Hospital, where he will undergo surgery. The player will remain hospitalized for at least 48 hours for antibiotics and infection prevention .
ALEX SANDRO
"The player felt pain in the posterior muscle of his left thigh in the first half of Flamengo 2 x 0 São Paulo. He will undergo an MRI scan on Sunday (13) ," Flamengo said in a statement issued to the press.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME
Thus, with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas being doubtful, it is likely that Filipe Luís will once again field Varela at left-back for Flamengo . Rubro-Negro returns to the field on Wednesday (16), against Santos, at Vila Belmiro, at 8 pm.
