Former Fluminense defender, Nino, currently at Zenit, in Russia, was speculated as a possible reinforcement for Flamengo. The rumor gained strength after Rubro-Negro forwarded the sale of Fabrício Bruno to West Ham, from England. However, with Fabrício’s refusal to the English, the ‘Nino theme’ did not advance in Gávea. In an interview with Canal Igor Rodrigues, the defender broke his silence and denied the conversations.
“It was a rumor, it was a rumor. I wasn't wanted at no time, nor my managers. I found out on the internet”, said the player. Next, Nino revealed that when the subject began to be discussed on social media, he received a call from former striker Fred, currently manager of Fluminense.
“Before finding out on the internet, Fred called me. I thought: ‘Something has happened’. I answered the cell phone, he told me: ‘It’s a lie, right?’. I swear I didn't know. He: ‘Are you going to Flamengo?’ I replied: ‘Man, do you know what time it is? 2am’. I said I didn't know anything (…) It was just a rumor, I wasn't approached at any time, by any team”, he concluded.
Nino's manager has already declared that he never spoke to Flamengo< /b>
In recent contact with the Rubro-News channel, businessman Fernando Garcia, who manages Nino's career, was frank when responding about a possible negotiation with Flamengo: “There is no such thing, no one He came to us, there is no negotiation, there is no point”, he pondered.
In addition to the difficulty in convincing Nino, who made history wearing the Fluminense shirt, it would not be easy for Fla to double down on the Russians in this operation. Since 2022, Rubro-Negro has dreamed of the arrival of Claudinho, a midfielder who belongs to Zenit. However, the team from the Old Continent was always resistant in conversations with Mengão. The midfielder's market value is valued at 18 million euros.
Values of the transaction between the defender, Zenit and Fluminense
Soon after the participation in the World Cup, Fluminense agreed to sell Nino to Zenit for 5 million euros, something valued at R$27 million. Of this amount, the rival was entitled to receive 60%, which would represent R$ 16.2 million.
In terms of comparison, Flamengo came close to selling Fabrício Bruno to West Ham for 15 million euros (R$83 million). Nino is 27 years old, one year younger than the current red and black defender.

Still unsure whether they will have Lucas Paquetá until the end of the season , West Ham won their first victory in the Premier League this Sunday (31) . In the third round of the competition, the team beat Nottingham Forest away from home 3-0, in a match marked by efficiency in the final minutes.
Despite the heavy score, West Ham struggled again. Controlled by Nottingham Forest for much of the match, the London team benefited from their rival's inability to finish plays . When they had the opportunity, they were decisive.
All three goals came in the final six minutes. Bowen opened the scoring, and the home side completely lost their way. Lucas Paquetá then doubled the lead with a penalty , and Callum Wilson sealed the victory, securing the Hammers' first win of the season.
During the celebration, Paquetá made a gesture of connection with his hand and then feigned a refusal. He then kissed the West Ham crest. This gesture was interpreted as a response to rumors of a possible transfer to Aston Villa , a club that had expressed interest in the Brazilian.
Having nurtured the player in its youth academy, Flamengo is entitled to approximately 4% of the total value of each international transfer for Paquetá . Based on the £47 million offer, the Rio de Janeiro club stands to receive approximately £1.88 million (R$13.8 million) at the current exchange rate.
With a goal from Arrascaeta and a penalty converted by Tiago Volpi, Mengão drew with Grêmio and will have two weeks of training before facing Juventude and Vasco

The clash between Flamengo and Grêmio, held this Sunday (31) at Maracanã, for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship , ended in a 1-1 draw. Mais Querido opened the scoring early in the final stage, with Arrascaeta finishing after a good exchange of passes. However, in the decisive stretch , Tiago Volpi converted a penalty and guaranteed the draw for the visitors.
In the first half, Filipe Luís 's team dominated, maintaining possession and pressuring the opposing defense. Pedro and Léo Pereira created good opportunities, forcing Volpi into crucial saves, and Noriega blocked a shot almost on the line . On the Grêmio side, counterattacks were neutralized, leaving Rossi with little trouble in the red-and-black goal.
With the draw, Flamengo remains top of the Brasileirão and will now have a two-week break due to the FIFA World Cup. The Brazilian national team will play its final rounds of World Cup qualifying between September 1st and 9th.
The red-and-black team returns to action on the 14th, against Juventude, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Alfredo Jaconi stadium, with coverage on Globo and Premiere. In the first round, the match ended in a 6-0 rout at the Maracanã stadium, a match that marked Pedro's return from a serious injury, with the striker scoring two goals.
After facing Juventude , the Rubro-Negro will have a busy next match, facing Vasco in the Brasileirão and, in the middle of the schedule, hosting Estudiantes in the Libertadores. The break is seen as an opportunity for tactical adjustments and physical recovery for the squad, which aims to maintain its lead in the national tournament and advance in international competitions.

Gerson's start at Zenit, after leaving Flamengo in the last transfer window, has been difficult. The midfielder, who joined the Russian club shortly after the Club World Cup, has yet to establish himself as a starter and has seen few minutes on the pitch . To make matters worse, he missed the team's last match due to an injury. In previous matches, he had only been used occasionally.
This Sunday (31), information emerged that Al-Ittihad , from Saudi Arabia, had started talks to sign the Brazilian. The news surprised the red-black fans, as the negotiation would take place just 45 days after Gerson's departure from Flamengo.
Marcão, Gerson's father, ex-Flamengo: "I haven't been notified yet"
In contact with journalist Julio Miguel Neto, Marcão, Gerson 's father and manager, denied having received any official proposal so far , despite the strong rumor after a post by journalist specializing in the transfer market Fabrizio Romano about a possible negotiation.
"If anything has come, it's been from club to club; I haven't been officially notified by anyone yet. I haven't offered him to any club ," he declared. Despite this, Marcão acknowledged the possibility that the Arabs first approached Zenit before any direct talks with the player.
Since arriving in Saint Petersburg, Gerson has played 340 minutes in six matches . So far, the midfielder has not scored or provided any assists, according to data from the Transfermarkt portal.
Meanwhile, Flamengo , the player's former club, takes to the field this Sunday (31) for the Brazilian Championship. Leader of the competition, the team led by Filipe Luís faces Grêmio , at Maracanã, at 4 pm (Brasília time).
