In 2023, Flamengo made good negotiations to increase the club's coffers. Despite the end of the Brazilian transfer window, Europeans continue to organize their teams through the best negotiations to satisfy their interests. In this context, Reinier, formerly of Flamengo, was announced by Frosinone Calcio (ITA), where he will compete in the Italian Championship until the end of the season.
CHECK OUT THE AD:
This Friday (01), Frosinone Calcio, from Italy, announced its newest reinforcement: Reinier, former Flamengo and current Real Madrid (ESP). At the age of 21, the player joined the Italian club until the end of the season, during which time he will play in the Italian Championship. The athlete was loaned with no option to buy, returning to Real Madrid at the end of the season. After spells at Girona (ESP) and Borussia Dortmund (ALE), the player continues to seek space in European football.
In 2019, the athlete was transferred from Flamengo to Real Madrid for 35 million euros. Despite the amount invested in the player, Reineir was never used in the first team. The ex-Fla spent his first European season at Madrid, and soon after was loaned to Borussia Dortmund, in 2020. After spending two seasons at the German club, the player accumulated 39 games and only one goal scored. Last season, the athlete returned to Real and was loaned again, this time to Girona, where he played 18 games, scoring two goals.
In this scenario, the striker has three more years on his contract with Real Madrid , until 2026. Despite this, the player received offers to stay at Girona, in addition to proposals to join Norwich (ING) and Paok (GRE). However, the club chosen to host the athlete was Frosinone, where the player will meet Kaio Jorge, who was his partner during the youth team. Like Reineir, the ex-Santos player is being loaned, as he belongs to Juventus (ITA).
Without Reineir in the squad, Flamengo and Botafogo face off next Saturday (02) for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão . The duel takes place at 9 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Nilton Santos. Currently, Mais Querido occupies the fourth position in the Brazilian Championship. The club's objective is to overcome the difference of 15 points between Rubro-Negro and Botafogo, current leader of the competition.

Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The clash promises a full house: so far, more than 45 thousand tickets have already been sold , reinforcing the expectation of a large audience in Salvador.
Ticket sales began last Sunday (28), with priority check-in for members of the Tô na Fonte category. Even after the general opening, members still have access to purchase. Prices range from R$33 to R$280, with half-price tickets available and free for children up to 11 years old. The section designated for Flamengo fans is already sold out .
On the field, the match has strategic importance for both sides. Bahia, defeated by Botafogo in the previous round, is trying to re-enter the top four and also depends on the results of Botafogo and Mirassol. Flamengo , meanwhile, is looking to extend its lead at the top of Série A and maintain its good form under Filipe Luís , who is trying to solidify the team's title bid.
Bahia and Flamengo face each other in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship this Sunday (05), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, in Salvador. The match will be broadcast on Premiere (pay-per-view). The match will be refereed by Rodrigo Lima (PE).
The striker's name was put forward as one of Mengão's possible interests in the market and the Gunners already know how much they would accept to sell him.

Although the transfer window is closed, things are still abuzz behind the scenes. Arsenal has set a sale price for striker Gabriel Jesus , who is being eyed by Flamengo and Everton. According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the English club is asking for around £30 million, equivalent to R$215.6 million at the current exchange rate, for the player. Thus, interested teams are already aware of the Gunners' asking price.
Behind the scenes, Flamengo is monitoring the center forward's situation and evaluating a possible move. However, the board believes the amount requested is above Brazilian football's financial standards . Mengão is also considering other players for the position.
With a contract valid until June 2027, Gabriel Jesus lost his place at Arsenal after the arrival of striker Viktor Gyökeres , formerly of Sporting (POR). Furthermore, manager Mikel Arteta has been using midfielder Mikel Merino as a makeshift player in the attacking sector, which has further reduced the Brazilian's chances.
Given this scenario, the player is considering seeking new horizons. The departure would also aim to regain his place on the Brazilian national team , with the 2026 World Cup in the United States in mind. Currently, Gabriel Jesus is not among coach Carlo Ancelotti's options.
The red-and-black squad currently has three center forwards: Pedro, a fan favorite ; Wallace Yan, who is attracting interest from European clubs; and Juninho, who is expected to be traded in the next transfer window. Even with the number 9, the board is considering bringing in a major reinforcement for the position, but the high cost of Gabriel Jesus is seen as a hurdle.
While observing the market, Flamengo focuses on the four lines. The team faces Bahia this Sunday (05), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. Leader with 55 points, Mais Querido seeks victory over the sixth-placed team, which has 40 points, to remain firm in the fight for the title.
Coach Filipe Luís will have a decisive activity to choose the Mengão that will take to the field this Sunday (5) against the tricolor for the Brazilian Championship

Coach Filipe Luís still has doubts about defining the Flamengo lineup that faces Bahia, this Sunday (05), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. The last training session before the match takes place on Saturday morning (04), at 9:30 am , at Ninho do Urubu.
The training session will be crucial for the coach to assemble the starting lineup and find replacements for the suspended Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro. Danilo and Ayrton Lucas are expected to fill the defensive spots , alongside Léo Ortiz and Varela. Even so, Filipe Luís may opt to rest some players, as the squad is facing a marathon of decisive matches.
On Friday (03), the starters from the draw against Cruzeiro only carried out regenerative activities , which leaves this Saturday's training session as the only opportunity for tactical adjustments. The team travels in the afternoon to Salvador, the location of the clash.
The tendency is for Filipe Luís to send onto the field a Flamengo with: Rossi; Varela, Léo Ortiz, Danilo and Ayrton Lucas; Saúl (De La Cruz), Jorginho and Arrascaeta; Plata (Carrascal), Samuel Lino (Everton Cebolinha) and Pedro (Bruno Henrique).
After training, the squad will have lunch at Ninho do Urubu and then travel to Salvador, with an estimated arrival time of late afternoon . With 55 points and leading Série A, Flamengo is looking for a victory over Bahia, who is sixth with 40 points, to remain firmly in the title race.
