Before closing with Juninho, Flamengo had been looking for options in the market to reinforce the attack, especially after Pedro's injury and the uncertainty over Gabigol. Among the names surveyed was the young striker Deivid Washington, who can now return to Brazilian football, but wearing the Santos shirt again.


According to journalist André Hernan, Santosis already in advanced conversations< /b> with the player, trained by the club, to seal his return to the São Paulo team.


Attacker seeks more space


Deivid Washington, 19, left Santos in mid-2023 towards Chelsea. However, in England, the striker had few opportunities, playing mostly for the under-21 team. Now, with the desire to return to Peixe, he is just waiting for Chelsea's approval to make his return official.

Why didn't Deivid Washington go to Flamengo?


Close to the close of the last transfer window, Flamengo and Chelsea negotiated the arrival of Deivid Washington to Rubro-Negro, but were unable to reach an agreement agreement.

In the final moments of the conversations, Chelsea even agreed to release the player, although their priority was to send him to Rio Ave, from Portugal. However, the English club imposed conditions: Flamengo should pay half of the athlete's salary and would not have the purchase option fixed. Rubro-Negro refused the terms.

With the impasse, Chelsea were unable to complete the transfer to Rio Ave in time, maintaining Deivid Washington in the under-21 squad.

In a surprising move, Sportingbet, the bookmaker that already features on Palmeiras' shirt, is set to take over as Flamengo's master sponsor . The club confirmed on Friday afternoon (15) that there is already a winner in the competition for the most prestigious space on the uniform , with the official announcement scheduled for Monday (18).


FAREWELL TO PIXBET


According to UOL journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, Sportingbet has outbid other major companies in the sector and is in the process of formalizing a contract with Flamengo . The dispute became necessary after Flamengo terminated its relationship with Pixbet, a longtime partner, due to payment delays and issues with government agencies.


The end of the partnership with Pixbet was made official hours before the duel against Internacional for the Libertadores, last Wednesday (13). On that occasion, the team entered the field with the word “thank you” printed above the former sponsor , as a gesture of gratitude for the period of collaboration.

TIGHT COMPETITION


Behind the scenes, Flamengo acted quickly to secure a new partner . The board of directors opened a competition, asking interested companies to submit sealed proposals. Initially, Betano and Superbet emerged as the favorites.

With the entry of other companies, such as Esportes da Sorte, 7K Bet, and Bet Nacional, the competition took on new dimensions. Superbet, which was well-positioned, decided to withdraw after the number of competitors increased . If the deal goes through, Sportingbet will sponsor the two clubs that have excelled in Brazilian football in recent years, deepening the rivalry between them on the national stage.
