Tottenham striker Richarlison has once again been speculated about as a potential Flamengo signing. According to journalist Ekrem Konur, in addition to Flamengo, Crystal Palace has also expressed interest in signing him, increasing competition for the player.

Besides Flamengo , Fluminense also expressed interest in Richarlison, but were stymied by the English club's high asking price. It's worth noting that the player previously played for Tricolor das Laranjeiras and is a staunch Vasco da Gama fan. Despite this, the possibility of a deal with the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved) continues to be speculated upon every transfer window.
While Richarlison still seems like a distant dream, Flamengo is focusing its efforts on the Brasileirão, where it faces Corinthians this Sunday (28) at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) in the 25th round of the competition. Leader with 51 points, Mais Querido needs the victory to avoid losing first place in the table in the round.

Tetê, ex-Grêmio, reveals clubs that approached him: "So far in this window, Flamengo, Botafogo, Fluminense, Cruzeiro"
"I do want to return to Brazil. So far in this window, Flamengo , Botafogo, Fluminense, Cruzeiro... I want to experience that there, I haven't played professionally in Brazil yet. I definitely want to experience it, but I'm very happy here in Europe too ," said Tetê.

Discovered by Grêmio while still in the youth ranks, he played for Shakhtar Donetsk , Lyon, Leicester, and Galatasaray before signing with Panathinaikos in mid-2024. For the Greek club, he has already made 59 appearances, scored 11 goals, and scored six assists.
Journalist Venê Casagrande confirmed that Flamengo considered signing Tetê in 2024. The name was considered because Luiz Araújo was not in good form , according to Filipe Luís and his coaching staff. However, Luiz's progress led the club to backtrack and abandon the move.
With Michael's possible departure in 2026, Tetê's name could soon be back on Flamengo's radar. The number 30 hasn't been getting opportunities under coach Filipe Luís and is one of the main names being discussed when leaving the Mais Querido squad.
