After announcing the departure of three athletes , Flamengo continues to keep an eye on the basketball market and is close to signing Wesley Castro, Franca's pivot . Thus, the player should be announced soon by Mais Querido.


According to information from the profile "Garrafão Rubro-Negro", specialized in Flamengo basketball news, negotiations with Wesley are "99% complete".


WESLEY'S HISTORY


Wesley Castro was one of Franca's standout players last season. The athlete finished as NBB champion for the São Paulo club, and was important for the team to win the trophy. Wesley averaged 10.1 points during the last edition of Novo Basquete Brasil, in addition to adding 4.3 rebounds.

Wesley has international experience, which could be a factor in helping Mais Querido. Before arriving at Franca in 2024, the pivot played for Panteras de Aguascalientes, from Mexico. In the Mexican league, his performance was satisfactory: 10.9 points per game , 5.2 rebounds and 59.2% accuracy in two-point shots.


FLABASQUETE UNDERGOES REFORMULATION

Therefore, Wesley's arrival may not be the only one for the season. This is because Flamengo is also close to announcing the signings of Daniel Onwenu, ex-Corinthians, and Franco Baralle, who played for the Argentine national team.

Even after winning yet another continental title, Flamengo announced the departure of three important athletes from its basketball squad: Franco Balbi, Lucas Siewert and Luan Rodrigues. The information was officially released by the club on social media , as a token of gratitude for the services provided by the players with the Sacred Mantle.


The move occurred after the elimination in the semifinals of the New Basketball Brazil (NBB) against Franca , who ended up winning the competition. The performance below expectations raised alarm bells within the basketball department, prompting a series of changes for the next season.


FRANCO BALBI SAYS GOODBYE TO FLABASQUETE


One of the names that stands out the most on this list of departures is Franco Balbi . The Argentine point guard, in his second stint at the club, played a fundamental role as a leader and strategist on the court . He was a key player in winning the Champions League of the Americas on two occasions (2020/21 and 2024/25).

Balbi also has important titles such as two NBBs (2018/19 and 2020/21), two Super 8 Cups (2018 and 2021) and three State Cups (2018, 2019 and 2020), consolidating his victorious trajectory with Flamengo . His departure marks the end of a successful cycle and makes room for new names in the squad.


LUAN RODRIGUES AND LUCAS SIEWERT LEAVE THE TEAM

In addition to Balbi, the club also chose not to renew the contracts of Luan Rodrigues and Lucas Siewert. Despite having less time at the club, both athletes contributed at important moments in the season and are recognized for their dedication and tactical discipline.

Another name leaving the team is Argentine pivot Tayavek Gallizzi. With outstanding performances in the Champions League and Super 8, Gallizzi was a complementary piece in the red-black paint, ensuring physical strength and solidity in defense, even without being an absolute starter.

He continued: "It's a massive shirt, the biggest fan base in Brazil. It's my favorite team. It was a personal achievement to defend my team. Not everyone can say that ," Varejão told "ge".

WINNING TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Even though he had played for major franchises such as the Cleveland Cavaliers (USA) and the Golden State Warriors, Varejão was certain that the best option was to fulfill his dream of playing for Flamengo . To top it all off, he won titles and became an idol of the nation.

"Several players didn't make it, but I did it at the end of my career. I had offers from Europe, from other NBA teams, and had close conversations, but I thought it was better to play in Brazil. I was champion of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. It was a successful stint ," Varejão added.
