The controversy surrounding the red belt, a demand from President Landim, reaches a new chapter with the scheduling of a voting date in Flamengo's council. The original project presented by the material supplier did not include the adornment in question, generating a fierce debate about the addition of the red stripe to the club's clothing. The initial proposal, which is now subject to board approval, raises questions about the influence of leadership of president Landim in the club's aesthetic decisions. The red adornment, which has become a point of contention, represents not only a visual change, but also the tension between tradition and innovation in the sporting context.
According to Coluna do Fla, The vote scheduled for the day November 27th will be crucial in determining the fate of the red stripe. Council members will be responsible for evaluating not only the aesthetics of the proposal, but also its symbolic and historical impact for Flamengo. The decision will have repercussions not only on the players' uniforms, but also on the club's visual identity, which is deeply rooted in its rich history.
President Landim, a tireless defender of the inclusion of the red stripe, argues that the change is necessary to modernize Flamengo's image, keeping it in line with contemporary trends in sports design. On the other hand, some board members express concerns about the mischaracterization of the club's traditional identity and the potential reaction from fans.
The debate over the red stripe goes beyond the aesthetic aspect; is a reflection on how traditions are maintained and adapted in the ever-evolving sporting landscape. While some see the move as a natural evolution, others fear it could compromise fans' authenticity and emotional connection to the club. The vote scheduled for November will not only decide on the inclusion of the red stripe, but also shed light on the dynamics internal member of the Flamengo board. It will be a test of the organization's ability to balance the president's innovative vision with respect for tradition and the voice of members and fans.
In addition, the decision will have practical implications, as the change in the club's uniforms team can affect the identification of players on the field and the global perception of the Flamengo brand. Careful management of this transition is essential to avoid unnecessary tensions between the board, players and, above all, fans. The red stripe, a symbol of a proposed change, is about to become a landmark in Flamengo's recent history. If approved, it will represent a significant change in the club's aesthetics; If rejected, it will be a testament to the ongoing commitment to preserving the roots and values that have shaped Flamengo's successful trajectory over the years.

Will it fail? Dynamo toughens negotiations with Flamengo and Carrascal returns to Russia
Having already agreed terms with Rubro-Negro, the midfielder was waiting for the transfer to be completed during the holidays so he could report to Rio de Janeiro soon.

The last transfer window for Brazilian football in 2025 opens this week (from July 10 to September 2), and Flamengo is moving to sign reinforcements . After signing Irish striker Mikey Johnston, the club is also trying to sign Carrascal. But Dynamo Moscow is playing hardball.
BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND ATHLETE, EVERYTHING IS OK
Flamengo has an agreement with the Colombian midfielder and tried to close the deal before the FIFA Club World Cup, but the board considered that the Russian club wanted to take advantage of the world championship to sell the player for more. Therefore, they treated the deal with caution.
Carrascal reported to the Colombian national team for the games against Peru and Argentina in June's FIFA World Cup and then went on vacation to await the outcome of the negotiations. Flamengo expected to finalize the purchase by last week, so that the midfielder would not even have to return to Russia. However, they have not yet reached an agreement with Dynamo.
VALUES
Flamengo's offer was around 12 million euros (R$76.4 million) in installments, but the Russian club wanted 15 million euros (R$95.5 million) and also required bank guarantees. Carrascal did not reappear with the Dynamo squad and was left out of the first friendlies, which angered the Russian board.
Given the impasse, the midfielder returned to Russia in recent days and was named in the squad for Friday's friendly against Partizan. Carrascal started on the bench and came on in the second half of the 3-1 victory. Dynamo have another friendly scheduled for Tuesday against Akhmat, while the Russian Championship starts on the 20th.
In addition to the impasse over Carrascal, Dynamo also has long-standing dissatisfaction with Flamengo over the loss of Varela. The right-back arrived on loan in 2022 after triggering the "war clause", which allowed players to suspend their contracts with Russian and Ukrainian clubs due to the conflict between the countries.
As the Uruguayan's contract in Russia was coming to an end, the Rubro-Negro team later signed the full-back permanently without having to pay for the transfer. Behind the scenes, Fla argues that the board is no longer the same.

Flamengo targets Carrascal as a priority and sees Barco as an alternative in the market

Flamengo continues to monitor the market in search of reinforcements for the second half of the 2025 season. After Gerson's departure, the Rio de Janeiro club is focusing its efforts on signing Jorge Carrascal, Colombian midfielder from Dynamo Moscow (RUS). According to information gathered by Coluna do Fla, the name of Esequiel Barco, from Spartak Moscow, appears only as an alternative to the main negotiation.
According to sources close to the board, the Argentine Barco will only be the target of an attempt by Mengão if the agreement with Carrascal does not materialize . The internal assessment is that signing both athletes simultaneously is out of the question at this time, both for financial and strategic reasons.
NEGOTIATION BY CARRASCAL
Negotiations with Dynamo Moscow are hampered by demands from the Russian club, which wants bank guarantees for the payment of the transfer in installments. The amount requested is 12 million euros, equivalent to approximately R$76 million, divided into three installments.
A possible move for Barco, if necessary, would represent an even greater expense for the club's coffers, since the Argentine has a higher salary and his transfer fee is considered more expensive in the European market. The information was initially released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
FLAMENGO RECEIVES SAO PAULO
While defining the next steps in the transfer market, the red-black squad is preparing for its next challenge on the field. Flamengo faces São Paulo this Saturday (12), at 4:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast live on Rede Globo.

New reinforcement could be Flamengo's "line breaker" in 2025, understand

Michael Johnston has signed with Flamengo and should be officially announced in the next few days. The 25-year-old Irish winger is expected to be distrusted by some fans due to his modest performances in the English second division. However, a tactical analysis shows that the player can offer important resources to Filipe Luís' team, especially in creating spaces that have been scarce in the recent performances of the current wingers in the red-black squad.
FLAMENGO TAKES A NEW DIRECTION IN NEGOTIATIONS
Michael Johnston's arrival at Flamengo is considered a certainty. The player is scheduled to arrive in Rio de Janeiro next week, when he will undergo tests and sign a contract. The negotiation was conducted discreetly and developed quickly, responding to a request from the coaching staff for more options in the offensive sector.
A PLAYER WHO CAN BE A RELIEF
Despite the signing being finalised, some fans received the news with distrust. The player's recent numbers at Cardiff City in the Championship, the English second division, are not encouraging: just 3 goals and 2 assists in 27 matches last season.
What has been gaining traction internally, however, is the understanding that Johnston's contribution goes beyond the numbers. In fact, the Irishman's statistical performance is not much different from what Gerson had been presenting as a right winger.
Johnston has a refined reading of the game, can identify where the advantages of the field lie and works to create situations that favor the attack. “A striker has to have numbers, but when we look at Johnston's context, both in what he has experienced and what he will encounter, we can understand that he can perform better”, explains analyst Raphael, on his YouTube channel.
