Discovered by Flamengo 's youth teams, the young Matheus Gonçalves , 19 years old, is starting to attract attention from European football . Even though he is still trying to establish himself among the professionals led by Filipe Luís, the attacking midfielder has received inquiries from two clubs from the Old Continent.


According to information from the channel 'Guilherme Flazoeiro', in partnership with the FlaBase profile, representatives from Ajax and Como (from Italy) consulted the player's staff to understand his situation at Flamengo . For now, there is no formal proposal, but interest has been signaled.


NEST CREATURE AND ACQUAINTANCE OF FILIPE LUÍS


Matheus Gonçalves is considered one of the most talented prospects of the recent generation of the red-black youth team. He was promoted to the professional squad in 2023 and, after a spell on loan at Red Bull Bragantino, returned to the club in the second half of last season.

Under the command of Filipe Luís — with whom he had already worked in the youth teams —, Matheus is trying to gain more minutes on the field . So far, in the current season, he has played eight matches, played 154 minutes and scored two goals. His contract with Flamengo runs until the end of 2027.


FLAMENGO RETURNS TO THE FIELD ON WEDNESDAY

While waiting for new opportunities, Matheus continues training with the main group and will be available for Flamengo's next match in the Brasileirão. The team faces Juventude on Wednesday (16), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in the fourth round of the national competition.

At just 18 years old, Léo Nannetti took center stage in the U-20 World Cup final at the Maracanã Stadium. The Flamengo goalkeeper was instrumental in the 2-2 draw in regulation time and shone in the penalty shootout , saving two shots in the 6-5 victory over Barcelona. The goalkeeper's impeccable performance cemented Mengão's title, securing their second title in the intercontinental youth competition.


Before the ball rolled, Léo Nannetti said he received a special message from Agustín Rossi, the starting goalkeeper for the professional squad. The encouragement served as fuel for a great performance: " Rossi sent me a message before the game to reassure me. I was able to put into practice what he and the goalkeeping coach, André, had said. We did a very detailed study and, thank God, I was able to be decisive," he said.


YOUNG DEFENDER CELEBRATES ACHIEVEMENT


Emotional after the match, Nannetti highlighted the importance of the moment he experienced and the trajectory he built at the club: "It's wonderful to win this title so young alongside my brothers. I've been at Flamengo since 2016. Winning a World Cup with them is unforgettable," he declared.

With solid performances, the goalkeeper confirms his status as a promising young player. He has made 17 official appearances in 2025 and has established himself as one of the most promising players of the 2007 generation.


NEXT CHALLENGE FOR THE MAIN CAST

While the young goalkeeper celebrates, the professional team prepares to face Vitória this Monday (25), at 9 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã. More than 35 thousand tickets have already been sold, and the expectation is that the audience will exceed 50 thousand fans.

In a packed Maracanã, Flamengo beat Barcelona on penalties 6-5 , after a thrilling draw in normal time, and secured their second U-20 World Cup title this Saturday (23). The victory consolidated the good moment of the red-black youth team, which once again overcame one of the main clubs in Europe .


Among the protagonists was Matheus Gonçalves , who had a special afternoon. The striker, about to say goodbye to the category, celebrated the achievement with emotion: "It was special. We were raised together since we were little, it has a special taste. My last title with the under-20. I have to congratulate Léo (Nannetti, goalkeeper) and Bruno (Pivetti, coach). It's the second Intercontinental and we are two-time champions. Very happy for everything", he declared.


MATHEUS GONÇALVES HAS COMPETITION


At 20 years old, having turned 20 on August 18th, the attacking midfielder will dedicate himself exclusively to the first team under Filipe Luís . In 2025, he made 15 professional appearances , including three goals in the Campeonato Carioca.

Despite the confidence of the coaching staff, Gonçalves has only played 313 minutes on the field this season , making his streak difficult due to the strong competition for position with Luiz Araújo, Samuel Lino and Gonzalo Plata.


EUROPEAN TEAMS MONITOR THE PLAYER

Interest in Matheus Gonçalves isn't new. The player was nearly traded to Cruzeiro for €3.5 million, but the deal fell through . However, foreign clubs remain vigilant: CSKA Moscow (Russia) and Olympiacos (Greece) are evaluating the possibility of formalizing offers before the international window closes in September.
