Corinthians officially announced this Monday (11) the signing of striker Vitinho , a reinforcement that has already raised positive expectations at the club. Right-back Matheuzinho, Vitinho's former teammate at Flamengo , made a point of praising his new teammate.
"I'm very happy with Vitinho's arrival. He's a friend who we've had a lot of contact with back in the day. We have a very good connection, he plays more on my side . He's going to be very important for our group , because of his experience, his versatility up front, he can play on the right, in the middle, as a false nine. He's going to help our team a lot, and I hope he comes here to contribute and contribute, and that everything works out for him," said Matheuzinho after the match.
The duo played together between 2020 and 2022, during which time they won titles such as the Campeonato Carioca, the Supercopa do Brasil, the Brasileirão, and the Copa Libertadores . However, both were reserves during the red-and-black team's victorious period.
Vitinho signed a contract with the São Paulo club until December 31, 2026 , becoming the first official signing of this transfer window and the second of the year, alongside Fabrizio Angileri. His arrival is seen as strategic to bring more speed and tactical variation to the attack.
Vitinho joined Flamengo in 2018, where he participated in historic campaigns and won significant titles . Despite failing to shine, he left the club with nine titles under his belt.
The player would not have a place with coach Filipe Luís and, after a failed attempt to negotiate with the Portuguese team, he will be a Peixe player.

Midfielder Victor Hugo was officially announced as a reinforcement for Santos this Tuesday (02). With no space at Flamengo, the player signed a loan contract valid until July 2026.

Victor Hugo on loan from Flamengo to Santos: "It's a dream come true"
According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, if Flamengo receives offers for the athlete during the loan period, Peixe will have priority to match any offer, a similar case to Jean Lucas' loan in 2019.
Excited about the opportunity, Victor Hugo spoke for the first time as a Santos player and highlighted the chance to play alongside Neymar, an idol from Vila Belmiro: " I'm so happy and eager to play and train . It's a dream come true. I've been watching Neymar at Santos since I started watching football; he was the player who made me fall in love with the sport. It's an honor to play with him; I'm sure it will work out great," the midfielder told the club's official website.
The Nest Boy also highlighted the immediate affection he's received from the Santos fans: " It's been incredible. I've already received so many messages on Instagram, and I'm so happy . I went to the last game at Vila and I can't wait to be on the field to bring joy to these fans. I'm so excited and hope to help as much as possible," he added.
At Santos, Victor Hugo will have the opportunity to play more minutes, unlike the situation he has faced at Flamengo in recent months. The midfielder arrives to bolster the team's fight against relegation , as the team sits 16th in the Brazilian Championship with 22 points from 21 matches.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti led, this Monday (01), the first training session of the Brazilian National Team at Granja Comary, in Teresópolis (RJ). The activity marked the beginning of the preparation during the FIFA Date, but had important absences, such as Samuel Lino and Lucas Paquetá, who only carried out regenerative work in the gym.
Samuel Lino defended Flamengo in the 1-1 draw with Grêmio, in the Brasileirão , on Sunday (31). Paquetá played for West Ham (ING), in the 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest (ING), in the Premier League. For the same reason, Jean Lucas (Bahia) also limited his participation to light activities.
In addition to them, five players called up did not participate in the initial training session, as they only showed up this Tuesday (02), due to their teams' games in Europe on Sunday (31): Alisson, Caio Henrique, Gabriel Magalhães, Raphinha and Gabriel Martinelli .
Due to the absences, the coaching staff called on some youth players from Rio de Janeiro clubs to complete the lineup. Among them was goalkeeper Léo Nanneti, a U-20 World Cup winner with Flamengo .
Also participating were Huguinho (right-back, Botafogo), Marquinhos (defender, Botafogo), Léo Lance (left-back, Fluminense) and Gustavo Dohnamm (midfielder, Fluminense). These athletes' presence was only occasional and does not mean they have been called up for official matches .
The National Team faces Chile this Thursday (05), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Afterwards, they face Bolivia on Tuesday (10) , at the Municipal Stadium of El Alto, ending their participation in the South American Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Joshua, an 18-year-old attacking midfielder , has been attracting attention after excelling in the U-20 Libertadores , the tournament that secured Flamengo a spot in the U-20 World Cup. In the final against Barcelona (ESP), the youngster started. Since then, he has been scouted by European clubs.
Despite the international pressure, the club has no intention of negotiating the player at this time . According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the board's decision is linked to the player's gradual development plan in Brazil.
Flamengo renewed Joshua's contract until 2029 and stipulated a €50 million (approximately R$318 million) release clause . The contract reinforces the club's confidence in the midfielder's potential, as he is already a regular participant in the professional team's activities under Filipe Luís.
So far, Joshua has only made one appearance for the main squad: a late substitute against Botafogo-PB in the Copa do Brasil, totaling 11 minutes of action . However, he has a longer run of appearances with the under-20s. He has played 16 matches, starting 12 of them, demonstrating the club's commitment to giving him a run-in without rushing his final transition.
With Joshua available, the team returns to action on September 14th against Juventude at 4 pm (Brasília time) at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium in Caxias do Sul , for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão. Flamengo is looking to end a long winless streak at the Jaconero stadium. The last time they won there was on October 1st, 1997, when the score ended 1-0 to Juventude, thanks to an own goal by Rodrigo Costa.
