The Flamengo board of directors claims that there was never any thought of changing the football department. However, there were, in fact, differences of opinion between the Board of Directors and the football director, José Boto , regarding the strategy for possible departures and signings, both in the case of Pedro and Mikey Johston.
There were conversations between him and the president of the club, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, to settle matters. Truth be told, the dialogue between the two is daily, and it was just one more on Tuesday. Contrary to what was said, there was no face-to-face meeting. Boto, who thought about leaving, remains at the Rio de Janeiro club.
With him remaining at Flamengo , it is time to speed up the transfer window. The amount available for signings is treated confidentially. However, what was authorized by the Board of Directors is that all surplus from player sales can be used for signings as long as the sales target is met.
The goal was to reach 35 million euros (R$ 223 million) in sales. With this level, there would be 30 million euros for signings, discounting the value of Juninho (5 million euros) and bonuses for Danilo and Jorginho.
At the beginning of the year, there were 11.5 million euros in sales, including Fabrício Bruno and other smaller deals. Alcaraz's transfer to Everton will reach a net value of 11.5 million. In other words, it would be 23 million.
Then there is the payment of Gerson's fine of 25 million euros (R$ 160 million) by Zenit St. Petersburg. In this case, Flamengo would already reach 48 million euros in sales. Therefore, there are 13 million euros extra, in addition to what was already available for this window.
The total amount needed to hire could therefore be between 30 and 40 million euros, according to an initial estimate. The question is whether Bap intends to invest all this money in hiring or whether he will reinforce the cash flow.
If Wesley leaves, these values would increase further, since the offers for the player are high, above 20 million euros. The money will be allocated to three or four reinforcements. The positions are winger, a backup for Arrascaeta (Carrascal is the main name) and possibly a replacement for Gerson.
Mengão hosts Leão at the beginning of November and fans can now purchase their tickets for the match valid for the 31st round of the championship.

One of the great merits of Filipe Luís's work at Flamengo's helm is its defensive solidity . Under his leadership, the team has not been defeated this season, and Rossi is largely responsible for this. The Argentine goalkeeper is having a consistent year , with decisive performances and an impressive streak of clean sheets.
According to a survey released by the club this Tuesday (7), Rossi reached seven consecutive games without conceding goals in 2025 and established himself as the athlete with the most matches in the season, totaling 51 appearances so far.
The term "clean sheet" originated in the Premier League and is used to define when a goalkeeper finishes a match without conceding a goal , and Rossi has already achieved this feat in 29 of his 51 matches this year for the "Mais Querido" (The Most Beloved). The only performance in which the number 1 conceded more goals was against Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup in June. On that occasion, Flamengo lost 4-2 in the round of 16 of the competition.
With Rossi on a high and a mainstay in the squad, Flamengo returns to the field on October 15th to face Botafogo at 7:30 pm (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium for the 28th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast on Premiere (pay-per-view), Record TV (open channel) and Cazé TV (YouTube).
