Victor Hugo 's decisive performance reignited discussions at Ninho do Urubu. Flamengo, which is looking for reinforcements in midfield for the rest of the season, sees the return of the player as a solution that is already under contract and could fit into Filipe Luís 's playing philosophy. The goal against Kasımpaşa was Victor Hugo's third in 35 matches with the Göztepe shirt.


The midfielder's season in Turkey has had its ups and downs, but the final stretch shows signs of recovery — and has caught the attention of those who closely follow the player's progress. Göztepe has until the end of June to exercise the purchase option established in the loan agreement. There are two alternatives: 8 million euros (approximately R$51.8 million) for 80% of the economic rights or 6 million euros (approximately R$38.8 million) for 60%.


RETURN TO FLAMENGO IS NOT RULED OUT


Behind the scenes, however, the prospect of remaining in Europe is seen as unlikely. People close to the player and Flamengo directors interviewed by ge understand that the Turkish club should not exercise the clause. The assessment is that the values are out of Göztepe's reality, even with the good image left by Victor Hugo in recent months.

DEPARTURE TO ENGLAND DENIED


In 2023, the scenario was very different. After good performances with Paulo Sousa and Dorival Júnior, Victor Hugo gained a regular starting position with Sampaoli and even attracted an official offer from Wolverhampton, in England, in the region of 20 million euros. The offer was rejected by Flamengo at the time. The arrival of Tite, however, changed the panorama. The player lost space in the main squad, became the target of criticism from the fans and, without opportunities, was negotiated on loan to gain experience.

Now, with the European season over and the transfer window approaching, Victor Hugo's name is back at the center of decisions at Flamengo . And not just among the directors. Coach Filipe Luís was questioned after the draw against LDU, in Ecuador, and spoke about the situation of the number 29:
