Flamengo is at risk of losing midfielder Erick Pulgar, one of the main names in its midfield, to River Plate, from Argentina. The Chilean, who has stood out since his arrival at the club in 2022, became the target of coach Marcelo Gallardo, who returned to command the Argentine giant and has the athlete as one of his priorities to reinforce the squad.
Pulgar, 30 years old, has proven to be a key player at Flamengo, with more than 80 matches played for Rubro-Negro. Since arriving, he has contributed with two goals and five assists, in addition to being constantly called up to the Chilean national team, which further increases his value on the international market.
River Plate's interest in Pulgar is not recent. Gallardo, in his first spell at the club, had already tried to sign the player, but with no success in negotiations, the club did not move forward with negotiations.
Now, with his return to command of the Argentine team, the coach has once again expressed interest, putting Flamengo on alert. The possible loss of the midfielder to a direct rival in the Libertadores dispute would be a major blow for the Rio club, which would need to look for suitable alternatives. The information is from the Fanático portal.
Erick Pulgar arrived at Flamengo in 2022 and quickly gained space among the starters , consolidating himself as one of the best midfielders in Brazilian football. His regularity on the field and the fact that he was constantly called upon to represent Chile increased his prestige in the market. However, the possibility of a transfer to Argentine football could change his future at the Rio club.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
The offer made is 90% of the club

Flaengo striker Luiz Araújo underwent successful surgery this Wednesday (13) to correct an osteochondral injury in his right knee. The procedure, carried out by doctor Max Ramos and accompanied by Márcio Tannure, head of the club's medical department, was necessary after the player fractured his cartilage during the derby against Vasco, last Sunday (10).
The osteochondral injury involves the cartilage, a tissue that covers the bones between the joints. In cases of separation, degeneration or rupture, the underlying bone may also be affected. This condition is common in joints such as the knee, ankle and elbow, and can cause pain and movement limitations.
Luiz Araújo suffered the injury in a dispute with left-back Lucas Piton, from Vasco. After the collision, the Mais Querido player needed medical attention and, although he tried to continue on the field, he was substituted in the 17th minute of the first half.
The red-black attacker's estimated recovery time is approximately two months. During this period, he will undergo an intensive process of physiotherapy and physical rehabilitation, with the expectation of returning in shape for the end of the season.
Flamengo's medical department is closely monitoring Luiz Araújo's progress, ensuring that the player has all the conditions for a full recovery. The team is also looking for alternatives to make up for the athlete's absence in the next important commitments, both in the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.
