Luiz Eduardo Baptista, better known as Bap, has been a central piece in articulating Lomba's candidacy. Former president of the Board of Directors and a figure close to Eduardo Bandeira de Mello, Bap has significant influence and believes that Ricardo Lomba can represent the interests of a Flamengomore plural and democratic. His support should attract even more votes from the Opposition, in addition to strengthening the discourse of renewal within the club.


The race for command of the CoDe promises to be intense. The current management, which is also seeking re-election, has a history of control over Flamengo's boards, which could represent a challenge for Ricardo Lomba. However, the experience and political support he brings are differences that the Opposition intends to explore during the campaign.


APPLICATION RELEASED TO MEMBERS


Lomba's possible victory in CoDe's election could change the balance of forces in red-black politics. Currently, the Deliberative Council is one of the club's most important bodies, responsible for approving strategic decisions, such as contracts and budgets. With Lomba at the helm, the Opposition can gain greater representation and directly influence Flamengo's direction in the coming years.

Although it hasn't yet been formally made official, the candidacy of href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/bastidores-do-flamengo-lafim-incita-textor-e-abre-o-olho-sobre-o-fair-play-financeiro" target="_blank">< b> Ricardo Lomba should be announced in the next few days. The expectation is that the former vice-president of football will present a clear and objective proposal for the future of the Deliberative Council, seeking to win the support of partners and advisors unhappy with the current management.


AN ANNOUNCEMENT COMING TO HAPPEN 

The elections for CoDe are eagerly awaited in Flamengo. They represent an opportunity for debate about the club's direction and bring together the main political groups around their proposals. The launch of Ricardo Lomba's candidacy, combined with an influential name like Bap, promises to further move the Rubro-Negro political scene.

Flamengo has released 20-year-old goalkeeper Lucas Furtado to sign with Vitória de Guimarães in Portugal. The youngster, considered a hero in the club's second U-20 Libertadores title , recently lost his place in the team due to his refusal to renew his contract, which was due to expire in December 2025.


Lucas Furtado failed to reach an agreement with the Red-Blacks to extend his contract, and gradually dropped out of the starting lineup for the U-20 team. In the Intercontinental Cup final against Barcelona, 18-year-old Léo Nannetti took over and excelled in the match , reinforcing the club's decision to allow the young goalkeeper to leave.


The athlete played a key role in Flamengo 's U-20 Libertadores campaigns. In 2024, against Boca Juniors, he played a role in almost the entirety of the team's undefeated run . The following year, he stood out by saving two penalties in the final against Palmeiras, cementing his reputation as one of the top players in Mengão's youth academy.


NEXT CALL

Lucas Furtado said goodbye to his teammates during training last Wednesday and remains selected for the Brazilian U-20 team's friendlies, the last opportunity before the final roster for the U-20 World Cup is announced, scheduled for September. The Mais Querido retains 50% of the goalkeeper's economic rights , guaranteeing participation in a future negotiation if the player excels in Europe.


LORRAN ALSO LEAVING

Flamengo made official this Thursday (28) the departure of Lorran, one of the talents revealed at Ninho do Urubu. The player will go to Pisa, in Italy, where he will undergo medical examinations before joining the new club . The transaction involves an initial payment of 500 thousand euros (approximately R$ 3.1 million) to Mais Querido.

Flamengo made official this Thursday (28 ) the departure of Lorran, one of the talents revealed at Ninho do Urubu . The player will go to Pisa, in Italy, where he will undergo medical examinations before joining the new club. The transaction involves an initial payment of 500 thousand euros (approximately R$ 3.1 million) to Mais Querido.


The contract stipulates specific conditions: if Lorran plays in half of Pisa's matches and the team remains in the Italian top flight, the player's purchase will be mandatory. If all criteria are met , the European club will pay €4 million (approximately R$25 million) to acquire 50% of the player's economic rights , while Flamengo will retain the other half. The information was released by the 'GE' portal.


LORRAN'S FAREWELL FROM FLAMENGO


Lorran first stood out in Flamengo's youth ranks, winning important titles and attracting attention for his technique and consistency. The recent highlight of the athlete's youth career came last Saturday (23) , when Flamengo beat Barcelona (ESP) in the U-20 Club World Cup. Lorran scored a goal during normal time and converted a penalty kick, directly contributing to the title.

MATHEUS GONÇALVES ALSO LEAVES THE TEAM


Flamengo has completed the sale of Matheus Gonçalves to Saudi Arabia's Al-Ahli for €8 million (R$50 million). The midfielder had been playing for the U-20 team after losing his place under coach Filipe Luís and was a starter in the U-20 team's Intercontinental Cup triumph.

NEXT CHALLENGE

With the player's departure, Flamengo is preparing to face Grêmio on Sunday (31), for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship . The match will be held at Maracanã, at 4 pm (Brasília time), and marks Mengão's return to the competition after the movement in the transfer market.

Flamengo ends search for reinforcements and focuses only on departures at the end of the window

With the group considered strong, Flamengo's board now turns its attention to possible departures. At least three players could leave the club by the end of the window: Lorran, Michael, and Juninho. Lorran is in advanced talks with Pisa, Italy , in a negotiation that could involve a partial sale of his economic rights. Michael and Juninho have received inquiries but are awaiting concrete offers.


Flamengo makes it clear that it will only accept a permanent sale, ruling out loans. In Michael's case, the striker is dissatisfied and, according to reports, has been seeking alternatives in the Arab world for about a month through his representatives.


BOARD IS SATISFIED WITH CURRENT CAST


The board's official position is that there will be no major investments in 2025. Any reinforcements will only be analyzed as a market opportunity. At the same time, the scouting department is already focusing on the medium term and observing the international market. Defenders and goalkeepers are expected to be among the priorities for 2026, as part of a gradual roster renewal plan.

CLOSED WINDOW FOR ARRIVALS


Flamengo shook up Brazilian football this summer by announcing high-profile signings. Players like Samu Lino, Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Carrascal, and Jorginho bolstered the squad . However, the search for a center forward ultimately fell through.

The board's idea was to bring in a striker with different characteristics than Pedro , but the number 9's good form, combined with the presence of Bruno Henrique , Wallace Yan and even Plata, who can play the role, made the board give up investing in the sector at this time.
