Representatives of striker Pedro are looking for a club that will accept the financial conditions stipulated by Flamengo. According to information from the O Globo website, Monterrey, from Mexico , participant in the last edition of the Club World Cup, carried out an informal survey about the situation of the number 9 and presented an initial value of around 10 million euros.


Despite the interest, the amount offered does not meet the expectations of the Rio de Janeiro club's board of directors , who have officially shown no intention of negotiating the player at this time. And for now, according to Gazeta do Urubu, the player also does not want to leave the club.


LITTLE USED BY FILIPE LUÍS


The reality on the field, however, could change the course of the negotiation. Pedro has been underused by coach Filipe Luís in the most important matches of the season, which raises concerns about the possible devaluation of the athlete in the market . Given this scenario, a slightly more advantageous proposal could make the board rethink the center forward's permanence in the squad.

The expectation is that the player and his representatives will also look favorably on a transfer under these conditions , especially if the scenario of few minutes continues until the end of the year.


INTERNATIONAL WINDOW CAN BE AN OPPORTUNITY

With a contract valid until 2027, Pedro was expecting a renewal this year, which, by all indications, will not happen . The next transfer window, which ends in September, is seen as a viable opportunity for the athlete to seek new horizons, especially if he continues to be outside the coaching staff's priority plans.

Flamengo faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship . The leader of the competition arrives in Caxias do Sul to maintain the top of the table, while the rival from Rio Grande do Sul tries to add points to leave the relegation zone.


Juventude 's idol and technical reference, 44-year-old midfielder Nenê, made a point of highlighting the challenge of facing the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved ). For him, the match demands maximum attention from the entire Alviverde squad.


" It's one of the toughest games we've had this year. Motivation increases, focus increases. We have to be focused the whole time. This is a game decided by the details. If we slip up against high-quality players, they can decide the outcome at any moment," the athlete stated.


28-YEAR TABOO

In the first round, the Red-Blacks thrashed their opponents 6-0, their biggest victory in the match . Even so, there's a taboo to be broken: Mengão hasn't won at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium since 1997. For Nenê, overcoming the Rio attack requires a well-executed tactical plan, with low and compact lines.


" Tactically, we need to be perfect. Stay close together, as a block . And when we have the ball, show our personality, press hard, and keep the ball away from our goal to try to score," he added.

LEADERSHIP OF THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP

Flamengo has 47 points and leads the Brasileirão, three ahead of second-place Cruzeiro. A victory in Caxias do Sul will ensure they maintain their lead in the standings and keep their goal of winning the national title alive.

Flamengo's Deliberative Council will hold a hybrid meeting in Gávea next Wednesday (17) to discuss the progress of the project for its own stadium . The meeting, which begins at 6:30 pm, will allow both in-person and virtual participation, and should update council members on the technical studies on the Gasômetro site and the new agreement signed with Rio City Hall.


President Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, will present detailed information on the land feasibility study, which is considered essential for determining the project's next steps. Additionally, council members will be able to learn more about the terms of the agreement signed with the City Hall and ask questions directly to the board.


MEETING WITH THE MAYOR


In August, Bap met with Mayor Eduardo Paes to discuss the stadium. At the time, the land tenure agreement for the Gasômetro stadium was signed, ensuring that the Mais Querido club will remain committed to making construction possible . The agreement also extended important deadlines for the project's completion, giving the board more breathing room to make necessary adjustments.

BAP POINTS OUT OBSTACLES


The postponement was confirmed by Bap himself in an interview with the club's official channel. According to him, the requirements contained in the City Hall's public notice made it difficult to accelerate the schedule. Despite the obstacles, the director reinforced that the stadium dream remains firm and financially sustainable for Flamengo.

" There were a series of conditions imposed in the tender for the project to move forward . When evaluating these preconditions, we realized that these steps would not be simple, quick, or easy to fulfill. Therefore, it would not be feasible to open this stadium in 2029," stated the Flamengo president.
