The 2024 season is coming to an end and with it the speculation of new players at Flamengo. Cruzeiro wants to sign Gabigol, but speculation arose that Mais Querido would be interested in Matheus Pereira, who belongs to the Minas Gerais team.
However, according to journalist Jorge Nicola, who contacted a source linked to the Cruzeiro board, Flamengo has no interest in Matheus Pereira and much less contacted the midfielder.
Matheus' contract Pereira with Cruzeiro is valid until the end of June 2026. The midfielder was bought by the club in the middle of the year, after a loan from Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia. At the time, the Minas Gerais club's board of directors disbursed around R$30 million in an operation that involved part in cash and part in installments.
FLAMENGO'S INTEREST IN 2023
Last season, Mais Querido became interested in Matheus Pereira, but the midfielder decided to return to his home state. Now, the player is a highlight of the team led by Fernando Diniz.

Because Flamengo is in an election year presidential, Mais Querido's signings will only be decided when another president takes over the club. In this way, the new members of the football department will choose new reinforcements for the new season.

Midfielder Erick Pulgar took an important step towards returning to play for Flamengo . Tests carried out this Friday (12) showed the consolidation of the fracture in the fifth metatarsal of the right foot , allowing the player to be released to begin activities on the pitch.
With medical clearance, Pulgar now begins the transition to field work . The Chilean will continue physical therapy to resume running, progress to ball-handling activities, and then enter the physical conditioning phase, the final phase before returning to official matches.
The midfielder hasn't played since the Club World Cup in June. After surgery on July 3, Pulgar spent some time in Chile and then returned to Ninho do Urubu to continue his treatment. Until then, he had been working out in the training center's indoor area.
The injury occurred during the Club World Cup Round of 16 match against Bayern Munich. The midfielder had already suffered the same type of fracture in his first months at the club, when it took him about 60 days to return to the squad.
Although coach Filipe Luís stated that he was counting on the Chilean for the Libertadores quarterfinals, it is unlikely that he will be on the field for the matches against Estudiantes , scheduled for September 18 and 25. Pulgar is expected to be available later in the season, reinforcing Flamengo's role in the ongoing competitions.

Flamengo fans once again demonstrate their strength and should transform the Maracanã into a cauldron. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, 57,402 tickets have already been sold for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Estudiantes , scheduled for next Thursday (18).
High demand quickly sold out the North, East, Lower West, and Maracanã Mais sectors. Currently, only tickets remain for the South sector, priced at R$200 (full price) and R$100 (half price). The club's management expects all 60,000 tickets on sale to be sold out this Thursday.
Adding up free tickets, courtesies, VIP boxes, and reserved seats, the projected attendance for the match is high. The estimate is that more than 67,000 fans will cheer the team on in their quest for a spot in the semifinals of the continental competition.
Before the decisive duel for the Libertadores, Flamengo has an important commitment in the Brasileirão. On Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), the team faces Juventude at the Alfredo Jacon i Stadium , for the 23rd round of the championship.
Rubro-Negro leads the table with 47 points, while the team from Rio Grande do Sul is in 18th place with 21 points. The return match against Estudiantes, which will determine who qualifies for the semifinals , will take place on September 25th at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium (UNO) in La Plata, Argentina.
The coach was approached by the Turkish club, but chose to continue working for Mais Querido; the red-black board is trying to extend the contract until 2026.

Coach Filipe Luís turned down an offer from Fenerbahçe of Turkey to remain with the club he leads at Flamengo. According to a report by the UOL portal, the European club approached Flamengo's board and expressed formal interest in the coach . Despite admitting his desire to one day work in European football, Filipe Luís preferred not to open negotiations , understanding that his career in Brazil is still ongoing.
Fenerbahçe even signaled financial compensation to the Rio de Janeiro club , but as neither the coach nor the board were willing to end the current project, the talks did not progress.
The club's management has already submitted a contract renewal proposal to Filipe Luís , valid until the end of 2026 and renewable for another year, including a salary increase. The coach, who signed in 2024 with a salary lower than that of the country's elite coaches , has not yet pushed for a raise and has promised to submit a counterproposal.
Filipe Luís has always publicly stated his ambition to coach European clubs. However, he understands that he is undergoing a process of professional development and that remaining in Brazil helps in this development. Internally, this vision is seen as a positive factor in maintaining his position at least until next season.
In addition to Fenerbahçe, Germany's Bayer Leverkusen has also recently expressed interest in Filipe Luís. Even so, the board believes the coach won't leave Mengão at this time to pursue a project abroad, and is confident he'll stay until the end of his current term at Flamengo .
