Athletico-PR, after a season with somewhat frustrating nuances, formalized a proposal for Domènec Torrent, a Spanish coach who had a quick spell at Flamengo in 2021. According to information from 'GE', negotiations appear to be advanced and the confirmation of the possible agreement should be announced this week, as soon as possible.
Three weeks ago, Athletico carried out interviews with some coaches to evaluate possible candidates to take over the team next season, indicating that it is not considering the continuity of the work by Wesley Carvalho. The proposal discussed covers a contract until the end of 2024. During the conversations, the coach discussed his thoughts on football and the use of young players in the squad.
In addition, it is important to highlight that the coach has the support of the team captain, midfielder Fernandinho. Both worked at Manchester City, where Domènec Torrent worked as an assistant in the team led by Pep Guardiola. Last week, the coach had a meeting with an MLS club, the United States football league.
Domènec Torrent was Flamengo's coach for a relatively short period in 2020, taking on the role after leaving by Jorge Jesus. He arrived at the Rio club with the expectation of continuing the success achieved by Jesus, who led Flamengo to win the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores in 2019.
However, Torrent's time at Flamengo did not was as successful as expected. The team was unable to maintain the same level of performance, facing defensive difficulties and failing to replicate the same offensive playing style that had been characteristic under the command of Jorge Jesus.
After a series of unsatisfactory results, Domènec Torrent was fired in November 2020. His stay at Flamengo lasted around three months, and he left the club with the unfulfilled challenge of keeping the team on the winning path established by his predecessor.

Former Vasco player André Balada had a successful career in football, with achievements such as the Copa do Brasil and games with the Brazilian team, as well as time in Europe. However, the former striker revealed that he only had one dream left to fulfill: playing for Flamengo.
In an interview with journalist Igor Rodrigues, André preferred to remain secretive, but said that he did not play for his favorite team and that Mais Querido is still alive in the current Libertadores. However, his father ended the suspense by saying that Flamengo is the club that has had the former striker's heart since his childhood.
"(What was missing from his career?) He missed winning a Brazilian championship. ( Wasn't there a club missing?) My father is a Basque fan (laughs), I played for his club. (Did he play for yours?) Yeah... No. (Can you tell me which team you love?) When I can, I go and watch my team's games. (Is he at Libertadores?) Yes, he's at Libertadores", said André, who saw the mystery go 'down the drain' because of his father.
“His dream was to play for Flamengo. We spent a month negotiating with Flamengo, it almost worked”, said Lenílson Marins, André Balada’s father. The aforementioned dialogue took place in 2011. The player played for Bordeux (FRA), and would be loaned to Mais Querido and even embarked from France to Brazil. However, on a stopover in Germany, his phone rang and the businessman informed him that he had signed a deal with Atlético-MG at the last minute.

Flamengo, looking for reinforcements at right-back after Wesley's imminent departure to Italian football, turns his attention to Khellven, a player who currently plays for CSKA, from Russia. The athlete, who previously played for Athletico-PR, has been standing out in transfer market speculation and could be the Rio club's next target.
CSKA established a considerable amount for the player's release, stipulating it at 7 million euros, approximately R$41 million, according to the current price. This amount is significantly higher than the 4.5 million euros (around R$23.7 million) paid by the Russian club to Athletico-PR in August last year, almost double the original amount. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
Currently, Flamengo evaluates aspects such as Khellven's salary and his interest in returning to Brazil, but has not yet made a formal proposal to CSKA. This season, the 23-year-old player played 38 matches, starting 30 of them, with a balance of one goal scored and six assists.
Khellven, who was part of the Brazilian team in the Pre-Olympic alongside Endrick, from Real Madrid, has 175 games for Athletico-PR, with eight goals and 22 assists. At Furacão, he won the Copa Sudamericana and the Copa do Brasil, consolidating his career in Brazilian football before his transfer to Europe.
