The offer of 2 million reais that Verdão made to the red-black striker was passed on to the next player, who comes from Europe
|
0After weeks of harassment and attacks, Palmeiras finally let go of Bruno Henrique. The star, who only has a contract until December 2023 with Flamengo, decided to deny a large offer made by Verdão of R$2 million per month, preferring to extend his stay with Manto Sagrado. Thus, the São Paulo native had to change his strategy.
According to the Bola VIP portal, the Palmeiras board felt 'used' by the BH staff. This is because the São Paulo club would have served to generate a feeling of urgency in the red and black board, which is interested in keeping the number 27, and ending up getting a better contract renewal proposal for the player.
With the loss of Flamengo's striker, and still in a very disappointing way, Palmeiras' leaders are having to organize themselves to get a new big name. Leila Pereira, president of the club, has been under a lot of pressure to make high-level signings next year, even more so after being eliminated in the Copa Libertadores da América.
Thus, it was decided that in the next transfer window, which starts on January 15, 2024, Palmeiras goes to the market with a focus on renowned players. Also according to the portal, Barros and other directors of the football department are already exploring market opportunities coming from Europe and other continents.
They want to find someone who arrives as a star to be a unanimous reinforcement, both technically, showing good results, and charismatically, being pleasing in the eyes of the fans. These are the likely names for the Bola VIP: Jorginho (Arsenal), Rabiot (Juventus), Martial (United), Zielinski (Napoli) Mina (Fiorentina) and Rafa (Benfica).
Since the Championship The Brazilian championship is almost unlikely to be won for Palmeiras (they are in 4th place with 44 points), 2023 will be a year of great frustration for the fans, who had hopes of lifting another big trophy in the season and will end the year with just two titles' minors': from the Campeonato Paulista and the Supercup of Brazil.

Although the striker did not suffer any injury, the club informed that he will be left off the list for precautionary reasons.
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not relate him to the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season”, informed Rubro-Negro.
DE LA CRUZ'S RETURN

Newly signed Alex Sandro and Gonzalo Plata, who made their debuts in the victory against Vasco, should be kept in the starting lineup. Ayrton Lucas appears as a possible option for left-back, while Carlos Alcaraz, the club's recent addition, should start the game on the bench.
That year, BH was the one who was seriously injured and the center forward was the one who replaced him

0Bruno Henrique, a player who will be a key player for Flamengo in this final stretch of the season due to Pedro's injury, expressed his sadness over his teammate's situation and revealed his desire to "make up" for the support he received from the number 9 in 2022 .
“I hope I can do this, like Pedro did in 2022, when I was away. He was the king of America, he led Flamengo to titles, a very important player, not only on the field, but also outside”, commented Bruno Henrique.
In an interview with ESPN, Bruno Henrique commented on the serious injury de Pedro, highlighting that this type of injury is one of the most feared by professional athletes. He also mentioned that he hopes to repay the attitude of the number 9, who was one of the team's pillars during his absence last year, when he spent a large part of the season away. Now, the situation is reversed, and BH takes on the role of replacing the center forward.
“This injury (ACL) is what every player fears. It's Pedro's second, and faced with a fatality, in training, injuring his knee. It's difficult to understand, right, but we have to accept it”, lamented BH.
Remember Pedro's numbers in 2022Much requested by the fans as As a starter, Pedro faced a dilemma in 2022, performing well but not being frequently selected. With the arrival of Dorival Júnior, the coach responded to the fans' outcry, placing Pedro and Gabigol to play together.
Unfortunately, this change was triggered by the serious injury to Bruno Henrique, which occurred in June of that year, in a match against Cuiabá. After needing to undergo surgery, the number 27 only returned to the pitch in 2023.
With Pedro taking his place, the response was impressive. His numbers in the Libertadores were extraordinary, with more participation in goals than games. Pedro ended that season with 29 goals and ten assists in 59 matches, in addition to winning the title of best player on the continent.
In addition to his individual achievements, the center forward was one of the main names, alongside Gabigol, in winning the Libertadores and Copa do Brasil with Flamengo.
