After beating Botafogo da Paraíba 1-0, with a goal from young Joshua , Flamengo secured a spot in the next phase of the Copa Betano do Brasil. However, the calm atmosphere gave way to concern behind the scenes. Arrascaeta's name was once again circulating as a possible reinforcement for another Brazilian club , which raised alarm bells at Mais Querido.


According to information from the Flazoeiro channel, Cruzeiro, now under the management of SAF led by Pedro Lourenço , is studying a proposal to bring Arrascaeta back. The director has been a fan of the Uruguayan's football since his first stint at Raposa, between 2015 and 2018 , and sees an opportunity for negotiation, since the renewal with Flamengo has not yet been officialized.


ARRASCAETA'S NUMBERS IN THE SEASON


The midfielder's possible departure worries Filipe Luís's coaching staff, who consider the player an essential part of the current tactical scheme. In 18 recent games, Arrascaeta has directly participated in 12 goals, seven of which he scored and five of which were assists. In the Betano Brazilian Championship, he leads the team's offensive participation rankings.

FLAMENGO HAS NOT YET RENEWED CONTRACT


The uncertainty surrounding the Uruguayan's future is due to the lack of a contract renewal, a factor that could facilitate a possible negotiation. Cruzeiro is trying to take advantage of this scenario to entice the player with the possibility of returning to the club that introduced him to Brazilian football. So far, there has been no official confirmation from the Rubro-Negro board regarding any offers received.

FLAMENGO MANAGEMENT MUST ACT QUICKLY

While Flamengo remains strong in the national competitions, the pressure is growing for the club's management to make changes behind the scenes and prevent the departure of one of the main names in the squad. Arrascaeta's consistent performance and Raposa's interest make the situation delicate , requiring redoubled attention from the red-black leadership in the coming weeks.

With the FIFA International Day off over, Flamengo is finalizing the details for the resumption of the Brasileirão. And one of the team's key players, Arrascaeta, continues to rack up impressive numbers. Since 2019, the number 10 has been the player who needs the least amount of time on the pitch to score a goal in the national competition.


According to a survey by Sofascore , the Uruguayan averages a goal or assist every 99 minutes . In total, he played 151 Brasileirão matches during this period, with 109 direct goal contributions , a performance that puts him at the top of the list, ahead of big names like Gabigol, Pedro, and Luis Suárez.

  9. Vitor Roque (Palmeiras) – 139 min
  10. Miguel Borja (ex-Grêmio) – 139 min


Among the highlights, Luis Suárez also stands out, reaching second place on the list despite having played only 33 games in the Brasileirão , during his time at Grêmio, where he played for just one season, in 2023.

ARRASCAETA SEASON IN 2025


The number 10 is enjoying one of his best years for the red and black. So far, he has 17 goals and 13 assists, numbers that are close to his most productive season , in 2019, when he scored 18 times and provided 19 decisive passes.
