Ángel Di María is one of the new names that is making news in the Brazilian transfer market. The Argentine star was speculated in some clubs such as Flamengo and Internacional, this Thursday (4). The athlete is currently at Benfica, but only has a contract until the middle of the year, and is evaluating possible renewal proposals.
Despite the possible departure, the right-winger's performance in Lisbon is positive. Having returned to the Encarnados in 2023, signing a one-year contract, Ángel has been having good numbers and has already lifted a trophy with the Portuguese team.
The start of Di María's journey at Benfica was overwhelming. First, he scored in the Portuguese Super Cup, in a 2-0 victory over Porto, guaranteeing his team the title. Furthermore, in the first five Liga Portugal games, he scored four goals and two assists.
However, a slight drop in performance and physical problems led the Argentine to experience bad moments with the team led by Roger Schmidt . The fall in the Champions League group stage and the failures in the national cups ended up leading to some doubt about the athlete's continued performance.
In the Europa League knockout stage, Ángel once again proved his worth , playing good games. First, in the round of 16 stage, he scored both of his team's goals as they beat Toulouse 2–1 on aggregate; in the round of 16, he scored a goal and provided two assists in two games against Rangers, again being decisive for the classification.
In total, "Fideo" has scored 15 goals and 12 assists in 41 games played in the season. Flamengo and Inter's interest in Di María, therefore, depends on his positive performance this season; São Paulo also expressed a desire to have the red number 11, but left the race aside.

Flamengo continues to wait for the return of Arrascaeta, who has been sidelined since August 18th, when he suffered an injury to his left thigh. The number 14 is being monitored by the club's Medical Department and his return to the field is still uncertain for the decisive clash against Bahia, valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. The game will take place on September 12th, at 9:45 pm, at Maracanã.
Arrascaeta has not yet started the transition phase to the field, remaining under the care of Flamengo's medical department. With less than a week to go until the match, the club is racing against time to count on the return of the Uruguayan star. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the player is in the final stage of recovery and there is an expectation that he will begin the physical transition next Monday (09).
IMPACT OF INJURIES IN THE SECOND HALF
An undisputed starter at Flamengo and frequently called up for the Uruguayan national team, Arrascaeta has faced physical problems throughout the seasons, especially in the second half, when the calendar becomes more intense. Since 2019, the midfielder has suffered 70% of his injuries after June, totaling 20 absences for Flamengo, 14 of them from that period.
In the first match of the quarter-finals against Bahia, Flamengo won 1-0 away from home, with a goal from Bruno Henrique. With this result, Rubro-Negro can even draw at Maracanã to guarantee their place in the tournament's semifinals. The team hopes to count on Arrascaeta, but is also preparing alternatives to make up for his possible absence.
Flamengo still has some doubts for the clash, but the likely lineup has names like: Rossi, Wesley (Varela), Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas, Pulgar (Léo Ortiz), Allan, Gerson, Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Gabigol (Arrascaeta).

Friday (6) marked a historic moment for American football fans in Brazil. For the first time, the NFL held an official game in the country, pitting the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers teams against each other. The event, which took place at the Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo, celebrated the expansion of the American league into Brazilian territory.
The Philadelphia Eagles emerged victorious in the duel against the Green Bay Packers, with a thrilling 34-29 comeback, being the first team to triumph on Brazilian soil in an official NFL game.
Among the highlights of the event, Eagles player C.J. Gardner-Johnson took advantage of the post-game moment to interact with fans and, in a symbolic gesture, received a Flamengo Imperadores shirt, a team from American football linked to the Clube de Regatas do Flamengo.
The history of Flamengo in American football began on May 17, 2013, when the club signed a partnership with the Imperadores team, resulting in the creation of Flamengo Futebol Americano. Since then, the red-black club has stood out on the national sports scene. In 2017, the team adopted the name Flamengo Imperadores, consolidating itself as one of the great forces of American football in Brazil.
In 2018, Flamengo Imperadores won the Carioca American Football Championship, beating Vasco in the final and asserting its supremacy in the sport in the state.
In addition to seeking supremacy in American football, Flamengo continues its successful campaign in field football. The club is in contention for the three main titles of the season: Copa do Brasil, Libertadores and Campeonato Brasileiro. The team's next commitment is for the Copa do Brasil, where they will face Bahia in the quarter-finals, on Thursday (12), at Maracanã.
The club has a new direction in negotiations

Benfica is preparing to present an official proposal for Flamengo right-back Wesley. The offer, according to sources, should be around 13 million euros, which is equivalent to approximately R$79.5 million. This movement occurs amid discussions involving the possible transfer of Wesley, who was previously almost traded to Atalanta, from Italy, for 20 million euros.
Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel, directors of Flamengo, are currently in Portugal, the which can facilitate the progress of negotiations. The presence of representatives of the red-black club in Europe indicates that Flamengo is open to listening to proposals and, possibly, closing an agreement that is advantageous to both parties.
Wesley, who has stood out as one of the main promises of Flamengo, aroused the interest of several European clubs due to its consistent performance. The young right-back has been a key player in Flamengo's tactical scheme, which justifies the high market value attributed to him.
However, Benfica's proposal, although significant, is lower than the value that Atalanta was willing to pay. This could be an important negotiating point, as Flamengo will certainly evaluate whether it is advantageous to accept a lower offer or wait for a proposal that meets the club's financial expectations.
