João Gomes has become one of Flamengo's top talents in recent years. With Flamengo, the defensive midfielder won the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores in 2022 , as well as participating in the 2020 Brazilian championship and several Campeonato Carioca victories. He quickly won over the fans and became a club idol.
Wolverhampton Wanderers of England recognized João Gomes ' potential and signed the midfielder, who quickly established himself as a starter. Despite strong individual performances , the team is going through a difficult season: five losses in five Premier League games, a situation that puts the club among the main relegation candidates.
With this performance, there is a possibility that Wolves will sell some of their players in the January 2025 transfer window , when the European market reopens.
Among the interested clubs, Tottenham has emerged as one of the most attentive to the midfielder's situation . Already established in English football, João Gomes could leave Wolverhampton for a team with greater ambitions.
Flamengo fans, in turn, have been closely following the player's career and demonstrating their support for his success. The player himself has stated in interviews that he intends to return to the Rio de Janeiro club when he decides to return to Brazilian football.

Flamengo is closely monitoring the progress of Erick Pulgar , who is recovering from a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot. According to journalist Gabriel Reis of the Paparazzo Rubro-Negro channel, the Chilean midfielder is in the final stages of treatment and should be included in the squad soon.
Initial predictions indicate that Pulgar may be available to Filipe Luís for the match against Cruzeiro on October 2nd at Maracanã. However, the most likely scenario is that he will return for the match against Bahia in Salvador, scheduled for October 5th.
Pulgar was injured during the Club World Cup against Bayern Munich and has not played for Flamengo since. A fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot is a serious injury that has affected other elite athletes , such as Neymar in 2018, and requires a careful rehabilitation process to prevent recurrence.
The club's medical department is taking caution not to rush the player's return, ensuring that he is fully recovered to support the decisive part of the season.
Should Flamengo eliminate Estudiantes and advance to the Copa Libertadores semifinals, Pulgar is expected to be available to reinforce the team for the decisive matches. The Chilean's return is considered strategic to strengthen the Flamengo midfield , which faces a busy schedule in the Brasileirão and the continental competition.
