Recently, Nicolás De La Cruz received an offer from a Qatari club interested in signing him. The Uruguayan midfielder, however, decided to decline the offer and reiterated his desire to remain with the Rio de Janeiro club . According to the athlete himself, his decision is linked to the desire to repay the trust shown by the board, which invested heavily in his arrival.
Before arriving in Rio de Janeiro, the midfielder was already the subject of speculation, especially after his success with River Plate. Flamengo , which had been trying to sign him on other occasions, managed to complete the deal in December 2023. At the time, the board paid a $16 million release clause, a figure that generated great anticipation around his performance in Brazilian football.
Between June and July, the Uruguayan was sidelined for seven games due to inflammation in his left knee. During this period, a controversy involving the medical department took center stage. José Luiz Runco, then the team's manager, stated in internal messages that the athlete had chronic injuries in both knees . The situation generated significant backlash and led to the club doctor's departure, raising questions about the Flamengo midfielder's physical condition.
With his gradual return to the squad, De La Cruz was included in all subsequent matches. Despite not playing against Internacional in the Libertadores, he earned minutes in the historic 8-0 rout of Vitória. Coming into the final stretch, he showed determination on the field and coincided with Jorginho's appearance, creating space for the Uruguayan to once again become a starter.
During the preparation for the match against Grêmio , the coach and coaching staff paid special attention to the player. The week's training sessions served as a prelude to his return to the starting lineup, something he hadn't done since the derby against Botafogo on May 18th.
