On the night that Mais Querido defeated Juventude 6-0 at Maracanã, the focus ended up going beyond the result. After the interview with coach Filipe Luís, it was Danilo's turn to publicly position himself on the case involving Bruno Henrique. The striker is being investigated for alleged links to sports betting, after a message sent to his brother before the game against Santos, in 2023.




I hope everything is clarified..." - said Danilo



DANILO TALKS ABOUT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AWARENESS


Danilo, who is enjoying a positive moment at the club, stressed that the situation, although delicate, should serve as a starting point for structural changes in Brazilian football. For him, it is necessary to look at the problem responsibly and, above all, seek solutions together . "The situation is much broader than it seems. We need to take this opportunity to rethink how clubs and federations act in this type of situation. Awareness has to start at the grassroots, with young athletes," said the defender in the mixed zone after the match.

AVOID JUDGMENTS AND SEEK DIALOGUE

Despite the seriousness of the case, Danilo stressed that it is not up to the athletes to judge. According to him, the moment calls for empathy and support, especially for those involved in the controversy. “What we can do is show affection. I hope everything is clarified, but Bruno deserves respect. He is a good person who helps others and has always shown himself to be a great professional,” he said.

Despite the impressive win, Bruno Henrique 's name continues to dominate the conversations behind the scenes at Gávea. The suspicion of match-fixing has generated tension among fans and stirred up the legal spheres of national football. The board of directors is following the case closely, but has not yet officially taken a position on possible punishments.

Amidst the tension, Danilo had reason to celebrate. The defender scored for the first time wearing the Mengão jersey, sealing a standout performance and celebrating his good individual moment. “I was very happy with the goal. It's always special to score in a stadium like Maracanã, even more so in front of our fans,” he said, with a smile on his face.

Midfielder Arthur, currently without a place at Juventus, was offered to Flamengo this transfer window. The player, who is close to returning to Grêmio , was analyzed by the Flamengo board, but without progress.


According to journalist Venê Casagrande, on his YouTube channel, the Rio de Janeiro club only sounded out values , in a move considered routine behind the scenes, but did not open negotiations for his signing.


ARTHUR'S FOOTBALL CAREER


Arthur emerged as a promising player at Barcelona, but failed to maintain regularity in European football. He played for Juventus, Liverpool, and Girona without much success. Last season, on loan to Fiorentina, he performed well and managed to regain some of his prestige.

For Juventus, the Brazilian made 63 appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Still, he's not in the Italian club's plans, and they're considering a permanent exit.


BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF RUBRO-NEGRO

While Arthur's name is being circulated on the transfer market, Flamengo remains focused on strengthening other positions. A center forward and a goalkeeper are the main targets for José Boto's football department.

Lucas Paquetá, a Flamengo talent who currently plays for West Ham, has been linked to a major transfer controversy this summer. The midfielder was speculated about a possible return to the club, having faced accusations of involvement in sports betting manipulation, which could even result in a permanent ban from football.


However, Paquetá was acquitted and was free to pursue his career . In response to the speculation, West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady gave a definitive answer about the number 10's future.


LUCAS PAQUETÁ WILL NOT RETURN TO BRAZIL


In a recent interview, Karren Brady highlighted the English club's confidence in Lucas Paquetá's continued presence. According to the director, there is no intention of negotiating the player during this transfer window.

" I think he wants to stay here, and we definitely want him to stay. So the fact is, he's going to stay here," Brady said, putting an end to rumors about a possible transfer.


WEST HAM MANAGER REVEALS DETAILS

In addition to confirming his continued presence, the English director also revealed the behind-the-scenes story of a turbulent period in the midfielder's career. The match-fixing accusation generated uncertainty about his future , both at club level and internationally.

"It was a very difficult time in Lucas's life. It was a very serious accusation that hung over him , and the FA wanted to ban him for life. So the seriousness of the situation was enormous," explained Karren Brady.
