Léo Duarte, champion of the Libertadores, Brasileirão and Campeonato Carioca with Flamengo, aroused the interest of Brazilian clubs. The 27-year-old defender, trained in Rubro-Negro's youth teams, currently plays for Basaksehir, in Turkey.
Cruzeiro, Grêmio and Bahia are among the Brazilian clubs that made inquiries for the player. Furthermore, in Turkey, Fenerbahçe has already expressed interest in signing the defender.
Initially, Cruzeiro had the intention of trying to loan the player. However, the Turkish club said it would only be willing to negotiate a permanent sale. The situation is further complicated due to the high values, as Basaksehir would be asking for R$15 million euros (almost R$80 million) to sell Léo Duarte.
In these terms, the defender's transfer seems almost impossible by current Brazilian football standards. Clubs like Grêmio and Bahia also expressed interest in the athlete, but were reportedly scared by the price. Thus, the most likely destination for Léo Duarte could be Fenerbahçe, in Turkey itself.
The information about Cruzeiro's inquiry into Léo Duarte was initially released by Goal Brasil and confirmed by O Tempo Sports. In the current season, Léo Duarte was an absolute starter for Basaksehir, participating in 40 matches, which included games in the Turkish Championship, Turkish Cup and Conference League. During these clashes, the defender only received one yellow card.
In Brazil, Léo Duarte's most prominent period was at Flamengo, especially in 2018, when he established himself as a starter for the team, which reached the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil and was Brazilian runner-up.
The striker is not in Filipe Luís's plans and must look for a new club; the 21-year-old midfielder chose Santos, despite interest from Corinthians.

Striker Michael will be the next to leave Flamengo, as he is no longer in coach Filipe Luís's plans. The board has released the player to listen to offers and negotiate a new team in the second half of the year. Brazilian football clubs have already begun inquiries about the player.
According to Flamengo's plan https://www.flamengo.com.br/ , the coaching staff sees no room for the striker in the current roster rotation. The departure is part of a series of market moves to reduce the number of players outside the coach's plans.
Midfielder Victor Hugo has agreed to a loan move to Santos , a deal expected to be finalized in the coming hours. The news was reported by journalist Venê Casagrande and confirms another transfer window departure.
The 21-year-old had returned to Brazilian football after a stint in Turkey, but failed to make the first team. Facing direct competition from the likes of Luiz Araújo, Plata, and Matheus Gonçalves, the youngster opted to move to Vila Belmiro , despite interest from Corinthians .
Matheus Gonçalves, sold to Al Ahli;
Lorran, on loan to Pisa;

Midfielder returns to training after muscle discomfort, is included and can reinforce Mais Querido against Grêmio at Maracanã.

After spending most of the week out of field activities with his teammates, Jorginho returned to training this Saturday (30) and was included in the list of players involved in the game against Grêmio. The midfielder participated in the last activity before the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship and became an option for coach Filipe Luís. The player himself confirmed the call-up on his social networks, encouraging the Mais Querido fans.
Jorginho missed training from Wednesday to Friday due to muscle discomfort felt shortly after the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, last Monday (25). Despite the precaution, the quick physical recovery pleased the coaching staff.
If the defensive midfielder doesn't start, Allan and Everton Araújo will compete for the position alongside Saúl. In this scenario, Arrascaeta will remain as the main playmaker in the central attack. De La Cruz could also appear in the starting eleven.
Another open position is the left-back position. Alex Sandro, injured, is out of the match and will not play again this round. The spot will be between Ayrton Lucas and Viña. The Uruguayan was considered earlier in the week as an immediate option after the starter's departure, but the decision will only be made shortly before the match.
After the biggest victory in the history of the points system, beating Vitória 8-0, Flamengo returns to Maracanã this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
A significant reduction in payroll following the departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran helps Mais Querido maintain financial stability.

Flamengo will see a monthly reduction of approximately R$1 million in its payroll costs . This reduction was achieved following the recent departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran , three young players who had lost their place in the main squad.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the measure contributes to the financial stability of the club , which seeks balance amid recent high investments.
The decision is part of a larger board strategy aimed at restructuring the payroll, which had been steadily growing. The expectation is that the savings will not only preserve the budget but also create room for potential signings in strategic positions, without compromising the sporting quality.
One of the points under review at the club involves Michael's situation . The striker, who recently returned to Flamengo , has a monthly fee similar to that of the three youngsters combined. Although an official decision has not yet been made, the possibility of negotiation has not been ruled out.
After achieving the biggest victory in the points era, beating Vitória 8-0, the isolated leader of the Brasileirão returns to the field this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the competition.
