Flamengo will only discuss contract renewals with its current players after the Copa do Brasil final. With all the attention focused on the competition, the club decided that it is important that all athletes are motivated only to win against São Paulo and win the penta for Mais Querido.
Some big names will be waiting to know their future in the team. Everton Ribeiro and Bruno Henrique, for example, already know that the Gávea club is interested in renewing with them. The club's directors, according to 'UOL Esporte', see the duo as a relevant part of the squad, both in the technical part and in the backstage treatment. However, the current captain and striker will only know about their contracts in October.
In the same boat are David Luiz and Filipe Luís. The two of them are still unknown for the club. The defender has reached all the targets that would indicate that he would have an automatic renewal, but the issue is yet to be discussed. The full-back has more uncertainty about next season.
Recently, Filipe even declared that he believes he still has the physicality to defend Mengão for another year. However, it is not known what the technical and medical team think about the matter, since the 37-year-old player suffered an injury at the end of last year that prevented him from playing for months.
Meanwhile, the team prepares for the big dispute of the season. After the elimination of the Libertadores, the Copa do Brasil is the great competition that Flamengo still has a chance of winning this year. The two final games are scheduled for September 16th and 23rd, giving the team just under a month to prepare.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
