Behind the scenes at Flamengo , the transfer market is constantly moving. After the sale of Fabrício Bruno to the Minas Gerais club and the departure of Gabigol at the end of his contract, Cruzeiro is trying to open a new line of dialogue with the Rubro-Negro. This time, focusing on two names that are on the decline in the squad led by Filipe: striker Luiz Araújo and young Matheus Gonçalves.




With the mid-year transfer window approaching, speculation has once again started to swirl around Matheus Pereira. The midfielder, who plays for Cruzeiro, has been linked with a possible trade for Flamengo players. Internally, however, the situation is different. According to information from journalist Fabrício Lopes, who covers Flamengo's daily activities, a trade involving Matheus Pereira is not on the table.



FLAMENGO DOESN'T WANT BUSINESS


The club from Gávea is not considering involving the midfielder in the operation. The assessment is that the profile and investment do not fit the current strategy of the red-black board. On the Minas Gerais side, interest in the deal remains. The Cruzeiro board welcomes the arrival of experienced athletes from Flamengo who have not been used frequently by Filipe.


PLAYERS CAN BE SOLD

Luiz Araújo and Matheus Gonçalves are the main names on the radar. Pedro Lourenço's team expects to close at least one of these signings without major costs. According to Fabrício Lopes, Cruzeiro's plan would be to try to convince Flamengo with a trade involving names that are not performing well at Toca da Raposa. Among those mentioned are right-back William and midfielder Walace, who are also not doing well at the team.


The proposal, however, was received coldly. The idea of involving players who are not unanimous among Cruzeiro fans and who have not stood out this season does not please the Flamengo leadership. The internal reading is that there is no real technical gain in this type of movement. It is worth remembering that Matheus Pereira arrived at Cruzeiro in 2023 as the main reinforcement of the Ronaldo Fenômeno administration, in a millionaire operation with Arab football . Despite having fluctuated, the player is considered a key piece in the Celeste offensive scheme and his salary is considered out of the reality of most Brazilian clubs.

The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.


MEDICAL EVALUATION


The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).

Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.


CLASSIFICATION SCENARIOS
