Nicolás De La Cruz has barely arrived and has already won the hearts of all the fans of Flamengo and commentators. This Sunday afternoon (25), the Uruguayan midfielder stood out once again in Rubro Negro against Fluminense. After the match, the player received praise from commentator Zé Elias, from ESPN, during the F90 program. The journalist made tactical notes on the athlete's performance.
“I think it's going to be Tite's team, it's Tite's style. It's a competitive team that knows what it's doing from the beginning until the end of the game. What was Fluminense's biggest difficulty? He couldn't touch, he just had to touch back. With De La Cruz, Flamengo can have this style of play, which is: lose the ball, everyone comes back”, said Zé Elias.
ZÉ ELIAS IS DELIGHTED WITH DE LA CRUZ
De La Cruz played against Fluminense as a second midfielder and had a great performance on the field. In this way, Zé Elias unraveled the Uruguayan's steal of the ball and the creation of the midfielder for the second goal Mais Querido.
“Flamengo's second goal was spectacular. Heel, speed, I'm a fan of De La Cruz. He steals the ball and passes it to Arrascaeta. It's a competitive, organized team, and the beauty of Tite's team is there. In other words, it is a team that knows what it is doing on the field. You know exactly what to expect from this team”, he pointed out.
COMMENTATOR THINKS FLAMENGO IS WELL COMPACTED
Zé Elias concluded by saying that Flamengois well compacted and that all players are well positioned on the field: “Defense, midfield and attack work together. You rarely see a guy far away from the game. They are all well positioned. Tite's Corinthians had quality, they were a team that knew how to suffer. Not this Flamengo team. He can already defend himself, but at the same time he has a lot of quality and speed in the game”, he concluded.

Pedro's situation at Flamengo has taken on new chapters in recent days. After being left out of the squad against São Paulo, the striker became a hot topic due to public criticism from the team's coach, Filipe Luís, who cited poor training performance as the reason for his exclusion.
The statement caused discomfort among the player's representatives, who are now considering a possible exit from the club. Behind the scenes, a member of Flamengo's football department even stated that they would accept a €15 million (R$97.5 million) offer to negotiate the player.
BUT AFTER ALL, HOW MUCH IS SHIRT NUMBER 9 WORTH ON THE MARKET?
According to the website Transfermarkt , Pedro is currently valued at €22 million , equivalent to R$143 million at the current exchange rate. So, see what
Evolution of Pedro's market value
- 05/2018 Fluminense €1.5 million
- 02/2019 Fluminense €9 million
- 08/2019 Fluminense €18 million
- 12/2019 Fiorentina €15 million
- 09/2020 Flamengo €12 million
- 05/2021 Flamengo €14 million
- 04/2022 Flamengo €10 million
- 11/2022 Flamengo €20 million
- 07/2023 Flamengo €22 million
- 06/2024 Flamengo €23 million
- 06/2025 Flamengo €22 million
SITUATION AT FLAMENGO
Knee surgery and strain with the coaching staff caused Pedro's market value to stagnate after peaking in 2024. Now, even though he is valued at over R$140 million, Flamengo is considering selling him for much less than the estimated value.
It remains to be seen what the next step in the striker's career will be, and whether any club will be willing to pay the Rubro-Negro's desired price.

Flamengo has officially begun negotiations with Agustín Rossi regarding a possible contract renewal. The Argentine goalkeeper, whose contract runs until December 2027, has expressed his desire to extend his contract with the club, with a salary increase included in the negotiations. The information was released by journalist Gabriel Reis, known as "Paparazzo Rubro-Negro."
EVERYTHING RESOLVED BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND ROSSI
Last Monday (14), Rossi's agent was at Ninho do Urubu to begin talks. The expectation is that the parties will move forward in July to align the terms of a new contract . Internally, the move is seen as a way to value a player who has established himself as a key part of the squad.
Rossi arrived at Flamengo at the start of the 2023 season, after excelling at Boca Juniors. With solid performances and consistency, he quickly assumed a starting position. Since then, he has put in strong performances and provides security in the defense. His current contract runs until the end of 2027, but the player's staff believes a raise is commensurate with his performance.
A TIME OF AFFIRMATION
Despite the interest in keeping Rossi for longer, the club's board, under the leadership of football director José Boto, has prioritized other renewals at the moment. Cases like that of full-back Guillermo Varela, whose contract runs until the end of this year, and midfielder Arrascaeta, whose contract runs until 2026, are on the immediate agenda.
Even without rushing, Rossi 's name is already on the table at the club's management. Boto understands that the appreciation of strategic assets is part of the club's policy, and that the Argentine goalkeeper, given his solid performance, deserves special consideration. The topic should advance in parallel with other areas of the football department.
