This season, Flamengo signed just four players: defender Léo Ortiz, full-back Matías Viña, midfielder Nicolás De La Cruz and striker Carlinhos. Rubro-Negro spent more than R$158 million on reinforcements. With the possibility of losing many players in the Brazilian Championship during the Copa América, the Flamengo board is considering new signings in the middle of the year.
A player always talked about behind the scenes at Gávea goes by Oscar, who is currently at Shanghai Port, in China. The 32-year-old athlete's contract at his current club ends in November this year.
As a result, speculation arose that the player could arrive at Rubro-Negro in August and Tite would have taken the lead in the conversations. However, according to information from journalist Jorge Nicola, it is “almost impossible” for the athlete to reach Rubro-Negro this season.
“People close to Oscar said it is practically impossible that Shanghai releases in advance. He remains an absolute starter there”, explained the journalist on his YouTube channel.
The biggest possibility is that Oscar will return to Brazilian football at the start of next season, in January. And Flamengo is one of those interested. The athlete has also been speculated about in São Paulo and Internacional.
Jorge Nicola also mentioned two other possible interested parties: “There are those who guarantee that Chelsea and Arsenal will try to sign him as soon as his contract ends there in China” , added the journalist.
Shanghai Port would like to renew the contract with the Brazilian player, but the tendency is for the athlete to end his cycle in Asian football in November. In the current edition of the Chinese Super League, he has five appearances, with two goals and three assists.
There was a possibility that the duel would be transferred to Mané Garrincha; The idea of the company that made the proposal was to take advantage of the red-black public

Santos has decided to host the match against Flamengo on July 16, for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Vila Belmiro. The São Paulo club even negotiated the sale of the home stadium to Brasília in order to raise funds, but the proposal was rejected.
There was a possibility that the match would be moved to Mané Garrincha. The idea of the company that made the proposal was to take advantage of the predominantly red-and-black crowd in Brasília to raise a large amount of money. The amounts offered to Santos were not revealed. The likely "reversal" of home advantage, however, was one of the reasons for the São Paulo team's refusal.
It is worth remembering that this same company has a debt of R$587,354.00 with Flamengo for not passing on the entire amount agreed upon for the Botafogo-PB x Flamengo match, for the Copa do Brasil, which was transferred to Maranhão. The club decided to take the company to court.
Santos wanted to play the match against Flamengo at Morumbis, São Paulo's stadium. However, they were unable to obtain permission from the police , as Palmeiras is playing at Allianz Parque on the same date and the security forces prohibit games of big teams in the city on the same day. Without Morumbis, Brasília became plan B, but it was discarded by the board, which decided to keep the home stadium at Vila Belmiro.
The red-black squad arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday morning and will have four days off . The return is scheduled for Saturday (5), when Filipe Luís will lead the first activity focused on the return of the national calendar after the Club World Cup.
The first match will be against São Paulo, on July 12th, at Maracanã, for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. Santos x Flamengo will be Mengão's second game after returning from the USA . For the black and white team from the coast, however, it will be the first match after the break. This is because the game against Palmeiras, scheduled for the 12th, has been postponed due to the team's participation in the Club World Cup.
Matheus Alves has not been training with his teammates at CT da Barra Funda. The boy was released by Tricolor and is awaiting the outcome of his case.

Flamengo will face São Paulo on the 12th, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, the São Paulo team will be one player short. This is because midfielder Matheus Alves is close to being sold to CSKA, and will travel to Russia in the early hours of Friday. The sale will only be announced by Tricolor after medical exams and the signing of a contract.
The final details of the transfer were resolved in the last few days, and CSKA then issued tickets for Matheus Alves to travel to Russia. São Paulo already did not have the midfielder, who has not even trained at CT da Barra Funda.
Matheus Alves, 20, has become a target for CSKA in recent months. The Russians even had a video call with the midfielder before formalizing the offer to São Paulo. Since last month, however, Tricolor has been discussing the sale with the European club.
The amount will be close to 6 million euros (R$37.9 million) for 100% of the player's economic rights, 90% of which are tied to São Paulo. In recent months, Tricolor had warned the player's agents that it expected a minimum offer of 10 million euros (around R$63.2 million), but the Russian club presented an offer with a lower value.
Due to its financial and cash flow problems, São Paulo decided to proceed with the transfer even though it was below what was expected. Matheus Alves has not been training with his teammates at CT da Barra Funda. The boy was released by Tricolor and is awaiting the outcome of his sale at home, with his family.
The 26-year-old Argentine is currently playing in Russian football, where he has a contract until the 2027 season. The player plays centrally or on the wings.

The Club World Cup has come to an end for Flamengo, but the season is still going strong. In this sense, José Boto and the red-black management are keeping an eye on the transfer market , especially on a striker. Therefore, a possible target could emerge from Russia.
The "Rubronews Tv" portal obtained the information and, according to them, confirmation from a Flamengo director that the club made an inquiry to the Argentine striker from Dynamo Moscow, Ezequiel Barco. The 26-year-old athlete has a contract with the Russian club until 2027.
It is worth remembering that Barco's name has been circulating at Flamengo since before the Club World Cup , but the talks did not progress, as the values presented initially are far from an evolution from a survey to negotiation.
The manager also confirms that there is no agreement, as reported in some portals, in fact there is not even an initial conversation , but he also confirms that the athlete is considered “interesting” and does not rule out a formal proposal.
Esequiel Barco is valued at R$102 million by Spartak Moscow, a figure that Flamengo , as reported, does not want to pay at this time. Despite this, according to the Russian media, the striker is positive about a transfer to Flamengo.
