During the interview on the program, Augusto Melodemonstrated confidence in the definitive purchase of Hugo Souza: “We are meeting the deadline, Corinthians does not have that financial situation (to pay). But there is zero chance (of losing Hugo Souza)”, he said.
However, Marcos Braz decided to call the program and also give Flamengo's version in the negotiations. Thus, the red-black leader explained the reasons why Mais Querido has not yet accepted the guarantees offered by Corinthians.
"In At no point does Flamengo want to run away from the situation. Flamengo has the size today to admit the mistakes of a negotiation, but never do that, and then the legal process, in relation to the processes, must be respected. guarantees. According to what was told to me, the guarantees that were given were the same as those given by Matheuzinho, and we had a problem in relation to Matheuzinho", he stated.
"Then it would be difficult for Flamengo to receive the same guarantees from a second asset from the club, guarantees that Flamengo was not satisfied with. To be clear, Flamengo is correct in its negotiations. Football is very small, people know each other", continued.

"After that It started to show up, yes. It's just that he went to Portugal at a lower price than that. The deadline expired and no one exercised it. Now, after the work done... Flamengo feels satisfied because of this 40% partnership with Corinthians. It will certainly bear fruit in the future that would be impossible to achieve elsewhere, because at Flamengo Rossi is a starter", he concluded.

5 points about Michael's negotiation: Flamengo only accepts a definitive sale

In recent days, a Middle Eastern team approached Flamengo with the intention of loaning Michael , but the Rio de Janeiro club's response was blunt: no . The proposal was rejected by president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as BAP, who ruled out any possibility of releasing the striker on loan.
According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Flamengo "is only willing to do business if there are definitive offers." The board believes the striker still has a market and will only leave Ninho do Urubu if concrete financial compensation is received.
THE PLAYER ASKED FOR THE MOST LOVED ONE TO LEAVE
Michael, nicknamed "Little Robot" by the fans, has expressed his desire to leave. With limited space under Filipe Luís, the striker was not included in the squad for the last match against Santos and remained in Rio to treat ankle pain. Internally, he has already informed the coaching staff that he prefers to seek new surroundings.
FUTURE PROBLEMS
Despite this, Flamengo is being cautious. Michael's contract runs until 2028 and he earns one of the highest salaries in the squad, which limits his options on the market. One of the clubs monitoring the situation is Qatar's Al-Duhail, but no official offer has been submitted yet. The board is treating the situation cautiously. Although the player is considered negotiable, there is no rush to sell him.
Flamengo understands that Michael could be useful throughout the season if no advantageous offers emerge. Therefore, the refusal to loan him is strategic. The ideal scenario for Flamengo is to find a permanent buyer during this window, which would generate revenue and free up space on the payroll. However, with the Asian market still buoyant, the club has not ruled out further inquiries in the coming days.
Another name under the spotlight is Pedro . The number 9 is not having the best time at the club and was left out of the match against Santos after public criticism from coach Filipe Luís. His situation is seen as delicate . Palmeiras was even mentioned as interested, but ruled out any approach due to the game limit in the Brasileirão. Even so, negotiations with foreign clubs are still possible this window.

The last charge was on January 14, 2025, when Flamengo gave Leixões 48 hours to pay the adjusted amount - 196,700 euros (R$1.2 million). The Portuguese team once again failed to comply with the agreement, and Flamengo went to FIFA to collect the debt, including fines, interest, and monetary correction.
