A Eurocup semi-finalist number 10 is of interest to Flamengo. According to Mexican radio station W Deportes, striker Memphis Depay, formerly of Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid and currently without a club, would be keeping an eye on the Dutchman to reinforce Mais Querido's squad. According to the radio, Mengão wants to count on Memphis for the remainder of the Libertadores and sees the player as a way of helping the brand's internationalization.
Flamengohttps://gazetadourubu.com/, however, it is not the only club keeping an eye on the Dutchman. According to W Deportes, the red-and-black would have competition from Monterrey, a Mexican club that recently hired coach Martín Demichelis, who recently left River Plate, and Corinthians, who have been looking to hire a 'media' player from according to the club's president, Augusto Mello.
Memphis Depay is 30 years old and is known for his physical imposition and quality in finishing. The striker emerged as a great promise in Dutch football and was signed at the age of 21 by Manchester United, where he arrived as a future star, but he did not perform as expected and ended up having few games at the club and was traded to Lyon, from France.
For the French club, he had the best numbers of his career and even qualified the team for the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a penalty goal against Juventus, in Italy. His good performances made him reach Barcelona, however, with the arrival of Xavi, the player lost space and ended up moving to Atlético de Madrid, where he played for just one season.
Memphis Depay only uses his first name on his shirt for any team he plays for. Although common in Brazilian football, players usually use only their second name in Europe. Memphis, however, says it doesn't make sense to wear something with the name of a father who abandoned him when he was just four years old.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

This Monday (16), rumors emerged involving Bahia's interest in signing Gabigol, striker from Mais Querido. According to the channel Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, Tricolor de Aço would have entered the dispute for Gabigol, who has a contract with Flamengojust until December this year. In addition to Bahia, clubs such as Corinthians, Cruzeiro, Grêmio, Palmeiras and Santos would also be keeping an eye on the player.
Despite the speculation, the Bahia board was quick to deny any ongoing negotiations to count on the shirt 99 from Mengão. According to the club's leadership, there is no intention of repeating an operation similar to that carried out with Everton Ribeiro.
As soon as news of the supposed interest began to circulate, Bahia tried to clarify the situation. In a statement, the club's senior management stated that there are no negotiations to sign Gabigol for next season. The information of possible interest, therefore, was directly denied by Tricolor's directors.
Even so, the attacker remains one of the most targeted names in the transfer market for 2025, as he is in the final stretch of contract with Flamengoand you can now sign a pre-contract with any other team.
With Bahia's denial, Corinthians remains the main favorite to sign Gabigol from next year. The possibility of the red-black striker wearing the Timão shirt gains strength, especially after coach Tite appointed Gabigol as the third option for Mengão's attacking command, behind Pedro and Bruno Henrique.
