In a scenario where player movements are becoming increasingly frequent, the fate of the Alcântara brothers is attracting attention. Recently, Raisa Simplicio, sports journalist, shared information about the future of Thiago Alcântara and Rafinha Alcântara, two athletes who, despite having built their careers in European clubs, are now evaluating their next moves.
Thiago Alcântara , currently a player for Liverpool, has been the subject of speculation about a possible transfer. However, according to sources close to the player, Thiago's desire is to remain in European football. "What I heard from people close to him is that his desire is to continue in European football. He will prioritize European clubs at the moment. To be seen", said Raisa Simplicio.
FLAMENGO CAN GET IN THE PLAY?
Thiago's decision makes sense considering his history and the quality of the European leagues. With notable spells at Barcelona and Bayern Munich before joining Liverpool, Thiago has established himself as one of the most technical and visionary midfielders in contemporary football. His stay in Europe is seen as a natural move to continue competing at the highest level and potentially participate in competitions such as the UEFA Champions League.
While Thiagoseems determined to keep his trajectory in European football, his younger brother, Rafinha Alcântara, is in a different situation. Currently without a club, Rafinha is a name that has been circulating among Brazilian clubs, with Palmeiras showing concrete interest. "The person who has the best chance of playing in Brazil is the other Alcântara, Rafinha, who is also free on the market. Palmeiras made a consultation, there are conversations, but, as we reported on @GoalBR, nothing has yet advanced", explained Raisa Simplicio.< /p>

The new additions are Murilo, who got the better of Léo Ortiz for being left-handed, as well as Gabriel Magalhães. Savinho and Wesley, who were important for the team's improvement in the match against Colombia, should be kept in the starting lineup.
Furthermore, the entry of Bento in place of Alisson and the pair of defensive midfielders present in the original call-up was expected, as Dorival valued the hierarchy of those called up even if he had the possibility of using the harmony of the Wolverhampton trio , with João Gomes, Matheus Cunha and André.

Since returning to the Ecuadorian national team, Gonzalo Plata has been one of the team's great highlights. Thus, coach Sebastián Beccacece, in a press conference after Ecuador's victory against Venezuela, praised the Flamengo striker .
The Argentine coach highlighted the quality that made Plata gain space under Filipe Luis: versatility . The striker has already shown the ability to play in all attacking roles, including as a midfielder, precisely the position where he was used in Ecuador's last games.
" Gonzalo can play inside, he can play outside, he can play on the right and left and he can also play as a 9. I said that on the first day. He can play in all attacking positions. We always try to create variables, because otherwise you become predictable. When you are predictable, your opponents will increase their neutralization, steal the ball and come out, press, and everything becomes more complex ," he said.
GONZALO PLATA CONTRIBUTES TO THE ECUADOR SCHEME
Beccacece also highlighted that the key to his team's performance in the World Cup Qualifiers was to change the midfield to adopt a more attacking stance. This includes the entry of Gonzalo Plata .
" I believe that Pedro (Vite)'s connection with Moises (Caicedo) makes everything flow with Gonzalo. Today, the big change for Ecuador for me is there, because the physical formation of these boys is indisputable. Having a midfield with Vite, Moi and Plata. When we arrived, we didn't imagine it, because we were more used to seeing Alan Franco, Moises and Gruezo, or Méndez. They were three marking players ", he stated, before adding:
" Today we have a more combined midfield. In some games we will also use the three marking players if we think it is necessary, because I like everything. But I think that today, the fluidity of the game depends precisely on everything that is generated in the midfield, where there is no fixed reference ."
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME
With Plata available, Beccacece prepares the Ecuadorian team for the match against Chile, next Tuesday (25), at 9 pm, in Santiago. Soon after, the striker will report back to Flamengo , where he will join the preparation for the debut in the Brasileirão, on the 29th .

With the break for the FIFA World Cup, Jorginho took the opportunity to spend a few days in Rio de Janeiro. Thus, the stay in the city served as an opportunity for the midfielder to introduce his fiancée to his possible new career destination. After the break, Flamengo received a positive response about the midfielder's possible arrival .
According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, Jorginho's staff informed Flamengo that Catherine Harding, the midfielder's fiancée, liked Rio de Janeiro . In addition, Mais Querido also learned that the player fell in love with the human warmth he received from the red-black fans.
The identification of Flamengo fans surprised Jorginho, since everywhere he visited during his stay in Rio, he was approached by red-and-black fans asking him to sign with the Mais Querido. The pre-contract has not yet been signed, but his agents are taking care of the negotiation and believe it could work out.
LINK WITH ARSENAL
It is worth remembering that Jorginho has a contract with Arsenal until June of this year. In other words, the player is already free to sign a pre-contract with any other team. Flamengo's idea was to sign the athlete before the end of his contract with the English team and, with that, already have the midfielder guaranteed for the Super Club World Cup .
ABOUT THAT...
While Flamengo and Jorginho are still trying to reach an agreement, the red-black squad is preparing for the decisive games of the season. The Mais Querido returns to the field next Saturday (29), at 9 pm, in a match against Internacional, for the 1st round of the Brasileirão.
