The main highlight of the Vasco team, Flamengo's next opponent, Léo Jardim is in the sights of Sporting, from Portugal, who are evaluating a proposal for the goalkeeper. The main reason for the search for Jardim revolves around the possibility of the Portuguese team losing its goalkeeper.
The owner of Sporting's goal is Antonio Adán, he only has a contract until the end of next month and should not stay at the club. The archer has been at the Portuguese club for four seasons and is 37 years old. Léo Jardim, aged 29, appears as an option. The information is from 'RTI Esporte'.
Flamengo's opponent next Saturday (18), Vasco da Gama, now raises the alarm about the loss of the main name of the season. In this 2024, in 20 games played, the goalkeeper shone. In the Brazilian Championship alone, in six matches, the archer made 26 saves.
Léo Jardim arrived at Vasco for the 2023 season, played 67 games and is considered one of the big names in the squad. In Sporting's sights, he still has a contract with Vasco and will be available to face Flamengo.
Flamengo and Vasco will face each other next Saturday (17), at Maracanã, in a game valid for the seventh round of the Brazilian championship. The match will be played at 9pm (Brasília time).
The club has a big difference in work

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.
The number nine has been breaking records

Pedro is standing out in the 2024 Brazilian Championship as the player with the highest number of direct participation in goals. With 11 goals scored and 5 assists distributed, he leads the ranking of offensive contributions in the competition, totaling 16 decisive actions for Flamengo so far. This performance reaffirms Pedro's crucial role in the red-black team's attack, highlighting his efficiency both in finishing and in constructing plays.
Just behind Pedro, in second place, appears Estêvão, another highlight of the team. championship. The player, who has accumulated 15 direct participations in goals, with 8 goals scored and 7 assists, has been one of the main people responsible for boosting his team's offensive sector. Estêvão's versatility, capable of finishing with precision and also serving his teammates with decisive passes, places him as one of the most complete players in the competition.
In third place, Matheus Pereira appears with 11 direct contributions, 6 goals and 5 assists. Just like Pedro and Estêvão, Matheus Pereira has been a fundamental player for his team, adding value both in creating and finishing plays. His ability to position himself strategically on the field has made it easier to score goals and create opportunities for his teammates.
Pedro, with his leadership in the ranking of goals and assists, stands out not only for his statistics, but also for the impact that his actions have on Flamengo's results. Pedro's ability to finish plays with precision is evident, but his understanding of the game goes beyond numbers, contributing significantly to the team's overall performance. Each of his 16 direct goal contributions was decisive in key moments of the championship, and their importance goes far beyond what the numbers might suggest.SUBSCRIBE NEWSLETTER
