Former Flamengo player Lucas Paquetá has an important update on his career

Flamengo's promising young striker Wallace Yan is on the radar of two Premier League clubs: Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers . According to Sport Witness, both have expressed interest in signing the player, but Wolverhampton Wanderers has not yet confirmed whether they will negotiate for the player in the next transfer window. Flamengo's board has set a fee of €25 million (R$155.7 million) to release the player.

Among the interested parties, Crystal Palace appears to have priority over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the attempt to sign him . However, there is no confirmation that Flamengo will part with the player in January, despite the limited opportunities Wallace Yan has received in Filipe Luís's team.

TERMINATION FINE

Wallace Yan recently renewed his contract with Flamengo, receiving a salary increase and an increased release clause. The clause is €60 million, approximately R$375 million , according to GE, making negotiations more complex even with European interest.

The player rose to international prominence during the Club World Cup , scoring two goals in the 3-1 victory over Chelsea. Since then, he has lost his place in the first team, but remains highly valued in the transfer market.

NEXT CHALLENGE

While its future is monitored, Flamengo focuses on the dispute for the Brasileirão. The next match will be against Cruzeiro, this Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm, at Maracanã, valid for the 25th round of Serie A. The match brings together the top two teams, with Flamengo leading with 54 points, making the duel decisive in the search for the national title.

On Wednesday morning (01), Flamengo published an official statement highlighting that, in games at Maracanã as home team, all fans, whether red-black or from other teams, have guaranteed access and free movement in the mixed sectors of the stadium . According to the club, the measure reinforces the commitment to welcome rivals and offer a safe environment.

The protest comes amid a tense atmosphere with other teams. Recently, hostile episodes marked classics between Fluminense and Botafogo, when fans were removed from boxes for wearing opposing jerseys . Flamengo , on the other hand, seeks to distance itself from these practices and promotes a friendly atmosphere at Maracanã.

HOSTILE CLIMATE BEHIND THE SCENES

Off the field, the club is facing difficult times. The impasse with Libra and disagreements within Brazilian football groups have made Flamengo the target of public criticism from rivals. This situation has generated fears among fans regarding safety at away games.

Last Sunday (29), against Corinthians, there were clashes at the Neo Química Arena. Around 15 Corinthians fans invaded the visiting section and threw stones at Flamengo fans. The Metropolitan Civil Guard acted with rubber bullets and tear gas , and the Military Police Riot Squad was called in to contain the confusion. In addition, banners threatening the team bus were displayed on the streets leading to the stadium.

NEXT APPOINTMENT

Flamengo will have a new opportunity to prove the safety of its fans when it faces Cruzeiro this Thursday (02), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast by SporTV (closed TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view).

Flamengo published, this Wednesday (01), an official note to clarify its position in the debate on the division of revenues within Libra . The club reaffirmed its support for the creation of the league, but highlighted differences in relation to the criteria adopted for the distribution of part of the transmission values.

Flamengo on the confusion with the League: "The Statute determines that the solution must be unanimous"

OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM FLAMENGO

" Flamengo joined Libra because it wanted to and because it believes in a league. The club wants an agreement; it doesn't impose anything on anyone, nor can it accept impositions. The issue revolves around the criteria for dividing the 30% share of TV broadcast revenue ."

Libra put six scenarios for the division to a vote. The Statute stipulates that the solution must be unanimous. Flamengo and other clubs voted on different scenarios . There was no consensus, and Flamengo went to court because the funds were being paid according to a division not approved by all the clubs.

UNDERSTAND THE IMPASSE

Currently, the club, under the management of president Bap, is pushing for an adjustment in the amounts received from broadcasting rights, which the board considers outdated. This stance has generated resistance from other Libra teams, such as Palmeiras, Santos, Vitória, and Atlético-MG , who refuse to renegotiate the terms.

Recently, Flamengo managed to get a court to block R$77 million relating to the division of pay-per-view, an amount stipulated in the contract signed between Libra and Globo during the administration of former president Rodolfo Landim , which the club claims does not have a document proving the signature.

FOCUS ALSO ON THE FIELD

While the dispute continues behind the scenes, Flamengo is preparing to face Cruzeiro this Thursday (02), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. The confrontation will be broadcast by SporTV (closed TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
