Guilhermo Varela has been a standout for Flamengo this season and has already played 100 games with the Manto Sagrado. The full-back has a contract with the club until the end of the year and wants to stay with the team. Therefore, the Mais Querido is moving quickly to renew his contract. José Boto gave an update on the situation.





José Boto updates Varela's situation: "It's well underway. When we get to Rio, we'll deal with it."


He continued: " We didn't want to go any further because we're in a competition that I think is unique to all of us . Obviously, things don't stop because there's a competition like that, but we sat down and we have things well underway."

It is worth remembering that Varela 's agent was in the United States to meet with José Boto and discuss the full-back's contract renewal. Thus, the parties appear to have reached an agreement and the player will soon be able to sign a new contract with the club.

100 GAMES WITH THE CLOTHING

Last week, Varela reached an important milestone with the Manto Sagrado. The full-back reached 100 games for Flamengo, becoming the 15th foreigner to reach such a number in the history of Mais Querido.

SEASON SEQUENCE

After being eliminated from the Club World Cup, Flamengo will only return to the field on the week of July 13, when they will face São Paulo in the Brasileirão. In the meantime, the red-and-black squad will enjoy a few days of vacation before returning to activities.

Flamengo makes a decision and decides to release two forwards without space in the team

The player hasn't established himself in the squad and, after a change in management's stance, could be traded; the winger is also free to look for a new club.

The future of center forward Juninho at Flamengo has taken on new chapters in recent days. The player, who had already been the subject of speculation , has failed to establish himself in the first team and has lost ground in the competition for a starting spot.


In recent matches, the coach opted to improvise Bruno Henrique and Plata in the position, in addition to giving more minutes to young Wallace Yan. Even when Pedro was out of the team, Juninho didn't have many opportunities to show his worth.


BOARD CHANGES POSITION


According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, there's been a significant shift behind the scenes at Gávea. While the club previously rejected offers for the player, the current stance is different: the board is open to negotiating with him , provided they receive a satisfactory offer.

Juninho's situation isn't the only movement in the attacking sector. According to a report by the Gazeta do Urubu website, striker Michael is also no longer part of the club's immediate plans and has been authorized to seek a new destination. The player, who has lost his place in Brazilian football, may face a transfer to the Arab world as his next challenge.


FLAMENGO'S NEXT COMMITMENT

While monitoring the market, Flamengo focuses all its attention on the Libertadores. The duel against Internacional, scheduled for Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, opens the series of clashes that could define the club's future in the tournament.

Flamengo is still looking for a goalkeeper for 2025 and is looking at some of the most prominent names.

Enjoying a good 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 without a fee at the end of the season.


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


BRAZÃO IS A TARGET, BUT WOULDN'T ARRIVE IN 2025


The name that most appeals to the club's board is Gabriel Brazão, Santos' standout player in 2025. However, the São Paulo club doesn't intend to facilitate the transfer of the number 77, as it considers it risky to reinforce a direct rival in the national elite. With a contract until 2026, Brazão has also played more than seven games for the São Paulo team in the Brasileirão.

Besides Brazão, another name appearing on Mengão's radar is Bento, Al-Nassr's goalkeeper . According to a Saudi journalist from Al-Riyadh, the player is attracting interest from several clubs and could leave the Arab team next year. If the deal goes through, Bento could become a viable alternative to the red-and-black goalkeeper's position.

Flamengo secured a significant 2-1 victory over Mirassol in a Brazilian Championship match at Maracanã Stadium. The match highlighted a significant improvement in the team's attack, which registered 24 shots, the most since returning from the Club World Cup.


After a period of difficulty creating chances, especially in the derby against Fluminense, Flamengo managed to create several clear-cut scoring chances. Coach Filipe Luís attributed this improvement to the opponent's more open style , which allowed Flamengo to better exploit the spaces in the opposing defense.


Filipe Luís assessed the team's performance and highlighted that Mirassol, by trying to control the game, ended up leaving gaps that Flamengo capitalized on. Despite some defensive scares, the Rio de Janeiro team managed to score the second goal and maintain the lead. The coach also praised the performance of their opponent, currently fifth in the table, highlighting the quality of the match.


A delayed game could guarantee leadership

In addition to the victory, Rubro-Negro still has a pending match against Sport , postponed due to the club's participation in the Club World Cup. The postponed match, valid for the 12th round, could be decisive in extending their points and confirming their lead in the competition this weekend.


FLAMENGO FOCUSED ON THE LIBERTADORES

Before continuing with the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo will turn its attention to the Copa Libertadores da América. Next Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm, the team led by Filipe Luís faces Internacional, at Maracanã, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the main continental competition.
