The Vice-President of Football of Flamengo, Marcos Braz, and the Director of Football, Bruno Spindel, are already in Portugal to advance negotiations for left-back Alex Sandro and midfielder Carlos Alcaraz. The red-and-black already has advanced talks with the defender, who is without a club at the moment, and with Southampton, which holds the midfielder's economic rights. The information comes from journalist Luiz Gustavo, from 'Paparazzo Rubro-Negro'.
< In recent days, Flamengo has acted in a hurry in the signing market because the window for player registrations for the Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão closes on September 2nd. With many injuries in the squad and the need to have players in the absence of those called up, Mais Querido is racing against time to finalize the arrangements. Journalists Cahê Motta and Fred Gomes, from GE, were the first to publish about the directors' intention to go to old continent.
In Portugal, Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel must have direct contact with Alex Sandro. The player has been training at the facilities of Portimonense, a club in the southern region of the Portuguese country. The left-back has prestige with coach Tite and was used as a starter by the coach in 80% of the matches in which he played under his command in the Brazilian national team.
In the case of the Argentine midfielder, Braz and Spindel will have to convince the athlete and his staff that returning to South America is of added value to his career. The player understands that staying in Europe is beneficial, but sees in red and black a path to titles that can increase his value, a scenario similar to that of Gerson, who arrived at Flamengo in 2019 and returned to the old continent two years later for the Olympique de Marseille.
It is expected that the directors will also hold talks for Ecuadorian striker Gonzalo Plata, who plays for Qatari football. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the red-and-black made a proposal for 30% of the player's economic rights and will be able to buy a higher percentage according to the goals established in the contract.

The defender is one of Mengão's standout players and has been a regular starter since last season and could be on his way to the current Italian champion.

Flamengo defender Léo Ortiz continues to attract attention in European football . This time, it is Napoli who appears to be interested in the defender . Representatives of the Italian club will be at Beira-Rio, this Wednesday (20), to observe the player in the match against Internacional, valid for the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
The name appeals to coach Antonio Conte, but there has been no official movement so far. Internally, Flamengo considers a potential sale unlikely. The club has no desire to negotiate another starter this summer and would only part with the defender if an offer is deemed "irrefusable."
In July, Germany's RB Leipzig formalized a proposal worth approximately €15 million (R$95.6 million) , which was rejected by the club. The German interest was directly linked to the fact that Ortiz had played for Bragantino, a team within the same franchise, for five seasons.
To facilitate a future transfer, the defender obtained an Italian passport in 2023, which prevents him from taking up foreign spots in leagues that impose a limit on players from outside the European Union — a factor that further boosts his reputation on the market.
In addition to Leipzig and Napoli, Juventus and Roma have also been investigating the defender's situation. However, only the German side have submitted an official offer . The European transfer window remains open until September 2nd.
In 2025, Léo Ortiz has already played 40 games, scored four goals, and provided two assists, making him one of Filipe Luís's most used players . His good form has also led to him being called up for the last three FIFA dates. Now, he hopes to be on Carlo Ancelotti's list for the Brazilian national team's upcoming matches against Chile and Bolivia.
After leaving Mengão at the end of 2024, the number 9 faces difficulties at Raposa, with limited minutes on the field and fans questioning the lack of opportunities

Since leaving Flamengo at the end of 2024 , Gabigol has been going through a turbulent period at Cruzeiro . The striker, who won titles and scored decisive goals for Mengão, now sees his place in the team managed by Leonardo Jardim reduced.
The situation was evident in the 1-1 draw against Mirassol , away from home, when Gabigol didn't even take the field. Even with a need for greater attacking power, the coach opted to keep him on the bench, generating repercussions among Raposa fans and Flamengo fans alike.
Gabigol 's absence drew attention on social media, with fans demanding more opportunities for the striker, who could contribute in critical moments for the team. In Cruzeiro's last four games, he has played in only two matches , totaling just 11 minutes on the field. His last full match was a goalless draw against CRB in the Copa Betano do Brasil, still in the round of 16.
Despite the limited minutes, Gabigol's season numbers remain impressive . In 30 appearances for Cruzeiro, the forward scored 11 goals and provided four assists.
The player's future remains uncertain. The board is monitoring the situation, but Gabigol's performance is in the hands of coach Leonardo Jardim. The relationship between coach and player will be crucial in determining whether he remains a key player or could soon leave the club.
The defender is in great form and could be called up by the Italian side to play in the final rounds of the World Cup qualifiers.

According to the Coluna do Fla website, the CBF sent the list of pre-scheduled players to the Flamengo, and the defender may have his first opportunity to wear the national team jersey . It's worth noting that Léo Ortiz and Danilo were on the Italian coach's first list for the yellow team.
Another player linked to the club also made the shortlist: Samuel Lino. The striker, who recently returned to Brazilian football, has already impressed Ancelotti and is vying for a spot in the squad targeting the 2026 World Cup . In the Italian's first call-up, five Flamengo players were named by the coach.
Ancelotti's chosen players will be presented on September 1st at Granja Comary in Teresópolis . The schedule includes two World Cup qualifiers against Chile at Maracanã on the 4th, and a match against Bolivia in El Alto on the 9th.
