Santos agreed this Wednesday (10), the loan of defender Messias to Goiás, for the Series B dispute. Now, looking for a defender on the market, Rodrigo Caio could be the solution from coach Fabio Carille. The defender, who had been at Santos since the beginning of 2023 and has a contract until December 31, 2025, only played in the final minutes against Mirassol, in the Campeonato Paulista and was not in the plans.
With Messias' departure, the commission The technique must give more opportunities to young talents at the base, but must not stop seeking reinforcements for the sector. Thus, options begin to appear on the table. The Santos board is in talks with defender Rodrigo Caio, 30, who is currently without a club, according to the Meu Peixão portal. Santos is studying the signing of Alexandre Pato as well.
The player left Flamengo at the end of 2023 and has been without a club since then. Grêmio could be an option for Rodrigo Caio, after the departure of Bruno Uvini, but the negotiations have not progressed so far. His possible arrival at Santos would be under a productivity contract, after a thorough physical assessment, as reported by the portal. The defender also played for São Paulo and the Brazilian team.
During the period he was in Rio de Janeiro, the athlete suffered from several injuries, which kept him away from the field for a long time. Therefore, the board preaches great caution with the defender's physical issues. Throughout his career, Rodrigo Caio played on both sides of the defense, as a right-back and also as a midfielder, accumulating 349 games, 13 goals and six assists. The values of a possible negotiation have not yet been disclosed.
It is also interesting to point out that, earlier this week, information emerged that Grêmio could be Rodrigo Caio's next destination. According to journalist Alex Bagé, known for covering the daily life of the Rio Grande do Sul tricolor, the defender already had a verbal agreement with the club. Bagé also highlighted that the player is completing a rehabilitation process after a knee procedure, aiming to resolve physical problems that have accompanied him throughout his career.

One of Corinthians ' greatest idols, goalkeeper Cássio has a special chapter in Flamengo's recent history, even though he never wore the red-and-black jersey. In 2020, his performance in Corinthians' draw against Internacional was crucial in the Rio de Janeiro club's Brasileirão title victory.
In the final round of that championship, Flamengo and Internacional were neck and neck for the trophy. Flamengo lost to São Paulo at Morumbi Stadium and, to retain the trophy , depended on a slip-up from their Rio Grande do Sul rival. At Beira-Rio Stadium, Corinthians held on for a draw thanks to Cássio's saves, preventing the Colorado victory and confirming the title for Mengão.
The episode has remained etched in the memories of Flamengo fans. In a recent interaction, a Flamengo influencer reminded the goalkeeper of the feat. " You know you're a national idol, right?" he asked. In a relaxed tone, Cássio replied: "Yes, we won that title, didn't we? Two thousand and…?" The fan added: "2020 !"
Last Thursday (2), in a duel valid for the Brazilian Championship, Cássio was once again highlighted against Flamengo, now defending Cruzeiro . The goalkeeper made important saves at Maracanã , guaranteeing a goalless draw and frustrating the red-black team's search for three more points.
With no time to lament the result, Flamengo is already concentrating its efforts on the next match of the competition. This Sunday (5), the team led by Filipe Luís faces Bahia, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador. The match will be valid for the 27th round and will be broadcast exclusively on the Premiere channel.
Former player questions Filipe Luís' decision to leave Pedro on the bench against Cruzeiro and asks for more flexibility in command of the Mais Querido

Filipe Luís's decision to leave Pedro on the bench against Cruzeiro generated repercussions after the goalless draw at Maracanã, last Thursday (2). Former goalkeeper Fernando Prass, currently a commentator, questioned the Flamengo coach's decision and highlighted the need for greater adaptation to the game circumstances.
In the Brazilian Championship match, the Red-Blacks opted for Gonzalo Plata as their attacking reference . Despite giving the team more mobility, the absence of a center forward was felt by the fans, who saw the team lose its finishing ability. Pedro ended up coming on only in the final minutes, which generated criticism and questions about the coach's strategy.
For Prass, the initial choice made sense given Cruzeiro's attacking approach , which was pushing the defense. However, he emphasized that the coach needs to be more flexible as the match unfolds.
"And Filipe Luís 's point was: he read Cruzeiro's high line, which could attack with Plata, which makes sense. But I think the game starts to show you things, and you can't have a fixed, rigid idea. Pedro didn't play against Corinthians; I thought it was a fitness issue, and he came on in the 35th minute [of the second half] against Cruzeiro," analyzed the former goalkeeper.
According to Prass, the red-black coach will have to adopt a more "flexible" approach to leading the team, mainly because Pedro's substitutes have not been showing outstanding numbers in goals.
" I think that, at certain times, Filipe will have to start being a little more flexible. Because if the others were solving the problem, scoring 20 goals like Pedro does, that's not what we're seeing," he added.
