Wesley was involved in a disturbance in Barra da Tijuca, west of Rio de Janeiro. The case is already under investigation by the Civil Police and there are two versions in play. The first is about the entrepreneur. According to him, the right-back constantly attacked him with words after thinking he had taken a photo of the athlete there. After paying the bill at the establishment, the player approached the businessman and was punched in the face. But, Wesley and his staff spoke out for the first time on the subject and told their side.



According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the Flamengo player's defense version is that at all times the businessman was disturbing the full-back. “Go away, you'll end up at Bangu”, the businessman would have said ironically to tease the young man and claim that, with his football, he'll end up playing for a smaller team.


The full-back's defense- Right still reports that, at all times, the businessman was uttering uncomfortable words and there were even threats, in addition to a lot of shouting coming from him towards the player. Flamengo made an official decision regarding the defender's situation: he will normally remain at the disposal of coach Tite until the investigation is concluded.

According to GE, a disciplinary fine for the athlete is not ruled out , as there are contractual details that protect Flamengo and the Club's image. In any case, Wesley will talk to the directors this Tuesday (12). Tite wants to hear the other side during a meeting, just like Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel.


The full-back lost space at Fla in the last few games. Varela ended up gaining Tite's position and preference at that moment, but the young man still had prestige among the technical committee. He hasn't been on the field for a few matches, but also because of an injury.

Palmeiras has made progress in talks to sign Carlos Miguel, currently on his way out of Nottingham Forest, but the deal may take longer than expected. The reason is that the leaked negotiations changed the course of the latest negotiations , causing discomfort between the parties.


The situation is gaining momentum with the possibility of other clubs entering the competition. According to information from GoalBR, Flamengo and Bahia are evaluating the signing . In the case of the Rio de Janeiro club, the board has already expressed interest and is analyzing the feasibility of submitting a formal offer.


CARLOS MIGUEL IS SOUGHT AFTER IN THE MARKET


Standing at 6'4" and a standout performer in his respective competitions, former Corinthians player Carlos Miguel has become one of the most sought-after targets on the market . His profile appeals to clubs looking to bolster their defense with security and experience.

FLAMENGO LOOKS FOR ANOTHER OPTION


Enjoying a strong run in the Brasileirão and advancing in the Libertadores, Flamengo is already making moves behind the scenes to strengthen its squad. The board has prioritized the arrival of a new goalkeeper , especially given the confirmed departure of Matheus Cunha. The goalkeeper signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro and will leave the club free of charge at the end of the season.

Despite their confidence in Rossi, Flamengo's board knows they need at least one more high-level goalkeeper on the roster. This time, the team wants to tap the transfer market to replace the Argentine , who has made some mistakes in recent games.

Since the victory over Fluminense on July 20, Flamengo's defense has faced a challenge in the absence of Danilo. The defender has missed six consecutive games, including the Copa do Brasil round of 16, but is showing significant progress in his recovery and is expected to return to training with the squad later this week.


Despite the progress, his participation against Internacional, this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã, for the Libertadores , is ruled out. The technical committee opts for caution, aiming to avoid the risk of new injury.


RETURN IS EXPECTED IN THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP


The internal expectation is that Danilo will be available for the match against Colorado, valid for the Brazilian Championship, next Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm, at Beira-Rio. If the return is confirmed, the defender's presence will bring more stability to the defensive system and allow strategic rest for Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira, who have been playing without rest since his injury.

Without Danilo, the central defender duo has started all six recent games , amassing 540 minutes of unsubstituted play. Their teammate's return is seen as crucial to relieving the strain and offering coach Filipe Luís new options.


FLAMENGO FACED AN INTENSE SEQUENCE

During the period without the defender, Flamengo faced crucial challenges. In addition to the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG, which ended in elimination, the team played four Brasileirão matches, winning three and drawing one.
