Athletico-PR gave up on hiring Doménec Torrent to lead its team during the 2024 season. The team was interested in the former Flamengo coach, but, after the lack of a positive response from the Spaniard, Furacão announced the signing of Colombian Juan Carlos Osorio, last Wednesday (03), and he has already started activities at the Curitiba club this Friday (05).
Although the former Flamengo coach is one of the first options from Athletico-PR, which had been looking for a coach since November 2023, negotiations with Domènec Torrent were not concluded. This is because the club from Paraná made an official proposal with a contract valid until the end of 2024 and was waiting for a response from the Spanish commander by December 23rd.
Domènec Torrent, however, did not respond to Athletico's proposal -PR on time. This is because, leaving Flamengo with little work time (around four months) left the coach afraid of Brazilian football. Therefore, the Spaniard wanted a long-term project and demanded guarantees, such as a termination fine, which is something the team from Paraná has avoided for a few years.
Athletico saw the Spanish coach as an opportunity to build a base solid and competitive to face the challenges that lie ahead and, according to journalist Raísa Simplício, the interest was mutual, at least at the beginning of December. The negotiations, conducted discreetly, were being sent to the final phase, where contractual details were being discussed.
DOMÉNEC IN FLAMENGO
It is worth remembering that Domenèc was responsible for taking over the team in 2020, after Jorge Jesus resigned to return to work at Benfica. He was announced by Fla on July 30th, with a contract until the end of 2021. However, he ended up only staying for around four months, when he was fired at the beginning of November.
Expectations The public, in general, has always been very positive about the coach, given his impressive CV. He had many years of partnership with fellow Catalan coach Pep Guardiola and had successful experiences alongside the renowned coach. However, the recurrent defeats suffered and the poor coexistence with part of the Flamengo squad undermined the commander's work at Mais Querido.
He left Mengão with a performance of 63.8%, which, to put it mildly, in comparison, it is slightly worse than the performance that Jorge Sampaoli had in charge of the team (64.4 performance).

Brazilian Championship: Santos defines location for match against Flamengo
There was a possibility that the duel would be transferred to Mané Garrincha; The idea of the company that made the proposal was to take advantage of the red-black public

Santos has decided to host the match against Flamengo on July 16, for the 14th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Vila Belmiro. The São Paulo club even negotiated the sale of the home stadium to Brasília in order to raise funds, but the proposal was rejected.
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN BRASILIA
There was a possibility that the match would be moved to Mané Garrincha. The idea of the company that made the proposal was to take advantage of the predominantly red-and-black crowd in Brasília to raise a large amount of money. The amounts offered to Santos were not revealed. The likely "reversal" of home advantage, however, was one of the reasons for the São Paulo team's refusal.
It is worth remembering that this same company has a debt of R$587,354.00 with Flamengo for not passing on the entire amount agreed upon for the Botafogo-PB x Flamengo match, for the Copa do Brasil, which was transferred to Maranhão. The club decided to take the company to court.
Santos wanted to play the match against Flamengo at Morumbis, São Paulo's stadium. However, they were unable to obtain permission from the police , as Palmeiras is playing at Allianz Parque on the same date and the security forces prohibit games of big teams in the city on the same day. Without Morumbis, Brasília became plan B, but it was discarded by the board, which decided to keep the home stadium at Vila Belmiro.
MENGÃO PREPARES FOR WHAT COMES AHEAD
The red-black squad arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday morning and will have four days off . The return is scheduled for Saturday (5), when Filipe Luís will lead the first activity focused on the return of the national calendar after the Club World Cup.
The first match will be against São Paulo, on July 12th, at Maracanã, for the 13th round of the Brasileirão. Santos x Flamengo will be Mengão's second game after returning from the USA . For the black and white team from the coast, however, it will be the first match after the break. This is because the game against Palmeiras, scheduled for the 12th, has been postponed due to the team's participation in the Club World Cup.

Flamengo will face São Paulo on the 12th, at Maracanã, in a match valid for the Brazilian Championship. Therefore, the São Paulo team will be one player short. This is because midfielder Matheus Alves is close to being sold to CSKA, and will travel to Russia in the early hours of Friday. The sale will only be announced by Tricolor after medical exams and the signing of a contract.
ALL VERY WELL
The final details of the transfer were resolved in the last few days, and CSKA then issued tickets for Matheus Alves to travel to Russia. São Paulo already did not have the midfielder, who has not even trained at CT da Barra Funda.
Matheus Alves, 20, has become a target for CSKA in recent months. The Russians even had a video call with the midfielder before formalizing the offer to São Paulo. Since last month, however, Tricolor has been discussing the sale with the European club.
VALUES
The amount will be close to 6 million euros (R$37.9 million) for 100% of the player's economic rights, 90% of which are tied to São Paulo. In recent months, Tricolor had warned the player's agents that it expected a minimum offer of 10 million euros (around R$63.2 million), but the Russian club presented an offer with a lower value.
Due to its financial and cash flow problems, São Paulo decided to proceed with the transfer even though it was below what was expected. Matheus Alves has not been training with his teammates at CT da Barra Funda. The boy was released by Tricolor and is awaiting the outcome of his sale at home, with his family.

The Club World Cup has come to an end for Flamengo, but the season is still going strong. In this sense, José Boto and the red-black management are keeping an eye on the transfer market , especially on a striker. Therefore, a possible target could emerge from Russia.
HERMANO STRIKER IN THE AREA?
The "Rubronews Tv" portal obtained the information and, according to them, confirmation from a Flamengo director that the club made an inquiry to the Argentine striker from Dynamo Moscow, Ezequiel Barco. The 26-year-old athlete has a contract with the Russian club until 2027.
BOTO WANTED FOR THE WORLD CUP
It is worth remembering that Barco's name has been circulating at Flamengo since before the Club World Cup , but the talks did not progress, as the values presented initially are far from an evolution from a survey to negotiation.
The manager also confirms that there is no agreement, as reported in some portals, in fact there is not even an initial conversation , but he also confirms that the athlete is considered “interesting” and does not rule out a formal proposal.
Esequiel Barco is valued at R$102 million by Spartak Moscow, a figure that Flamengo , as reported, does not want to pay at this time. Despite this, according to the Russian media, the striker is positive about a transfer to Flamengo.
