After Luiz Henrique, Jeffinho and John, Botafogo is closer to having defender Pablo on the field. The club posted this Monday (25) some photos of the activity carried out at CT Espaço Lonier and the player appears in training on the field. Pablo is in the final stages of transition from a more serious muscle injury suffered in the first few days after being signed on loan from Flamengo. The experienced defender arrived at the beginning of February, but has not yet managed to debut.
Pablo should be available to the technical committee for his debut in the Libertadores da América on April 3rd against Junior-COL, at the stadium Nilton Santos. As he has already played for Flamengo in the State Championship, he cannot be used by Botafogo in the Campeonato Carioca.
Botafogo signed Pablo, Flamengo defender. Negotiations between the clubs for the 32-year-old athlete were advanced and the parties reached an understanding, and the agreement was made official on Thursday night. Pablo signed a loan valid for one season with no purchase option.
Botafogo will pay 74% of Pablo's wages. The fine for the defender to face Rubro-Negro is R$2 million, and the player can be sold at any time. If he is sold during the transfer period, Alvinegro will be entitled to a small showcase fee.
Alvinegro showed interest in Pablo in the meeting between John Textor, owner of the club's SAF, with Rodolfo Landim, president of Flamengo, in Orlando, last Saturday. The meeting also served for the North American to put a proposal on the table for Matheuzinho, but the right-back does not want to play for the rival.
Corinthians were also interested in Pablo and even made a proposal to the defender . The good relationship between the directors of Botafogo and Flamengo, however, contributed to the decision being favorable to Alvinegro do Rio de Janeiro.
Pablo arrived at Flamengo in 2022, hired from Lokomotiv, from Russia. Having played for the Brazilian national team with Tite and being a great highlight in Corinthians' seventh Brazilian championship campaign in 2017, the Maranhão native arrived in Gávea with a lot of morale, but was unable to establish himself. Although he did not achieve a sequence as a starter, Pablo leaves Rubro-Negro with two major titles under his belt, the Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil.
The club has a big difference in work

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.

The owner of Botafogo used a post from “Portal Botafoguense”, on Instagram, in which it compares the amounts spent by Flamengo and its club in each sector.
