FLAMENGO AGREE TO HIRE A ATTACKER FROM ATLÉTICO-MG

Flamengo and Lazio advanced in negotiations to sign midfielder Marcos Antônio. The player, who has already accepted the Rio club's offer, should be signed on loan with an obligation to buy if certain goals are achieved. However, there are still disagreements regarding the triggers and final values ​​of the operation, according to information from the GE website.

It is agreed that Flamengo will pay an amount for the one-year loan, which will be deducted if the club opts to definitively purchase the player. . The figures for the definitive purchase are being discussed, with expectations of values ​​between 5 and 6 million euros, in addition to bonuses.

The main divergence between the clubs is in the clause that obliges Flamengo to buy the player if he participates in 50% of the games during the loan period. Flamengo and Lazio are still debating what the definition of participation in games will be: whether it will only count appearance, ownership, or the number of minutes played (45 or 90 minutes on the field).

DEFINITION OF GOALS

Flamengo prefers that the purchase trigger be related to ownership or the condition of the player playing for 90 minutes. If the goal is not met, the purchase option will be the choice of the Rio club. Despite the impasse, Flamengo is confident that it will find a satisfactory agreement with Lazio and will have Marcos Antônio as a reinforcement in the next transfer window.

PLAYER HISTORY

Marcos Antônio, 24 years old, is a creation of Athletico-PR's youth teams and a contemporary of Vini Jr in the youth teams. The midfielder has spent time at Estoril, in Portugal, and Shakhtar Donetsk, in Ukraine. He was bought by Lazio in 2023 and loaned to PAOK, from Greece, last season, where he was national champion.

Former BBB member Gabi Martins and federal deputy Euclydes Pettersen were spotted together at a wedding party in Governador Valadares, in the interior of Minas Gerais. The singer and the politician were photographed side by side in a selfie taken by other guests at the event. So far, Gabi Martins has not spoken openly about the relationship and prefers not to post anything about the subject on social media.

In January, the newspaper EXTRA revealed the affair between the two, highlighting that they spent the year new together in Pernambuco, accompanied by friends. The trip extended to Caraíva and Trancoso, in Bahia, including a helicopter ride. After the trip, Gabi returned to Nova Lima, in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, where she lives with her family. Euclydes, in turn, divides himself between the capital of Minas Gerais and Governador Valadares, his hometown.

GABI AVOID CONFIRMING RELATIONSHIP

In February, when asked about her relationship with the deputy, Gabi declined to talk. "I'm single, working, focused on my career. I spent Carnival busy, fulfilling a schedule", stated the ex-BBB. Gabi has not been in a relationship since she broke up with gamer Lincoln Lau, in March 2023, after three months together. At the time, she claimed to have been cheated on, while Lincoln claimed to have been attacked by his ex-girlfriend.

DISCRETION ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Despite public appearances, Gabi Martins maintains discretion about her relationship with Euclydes Pettersen. So far, she has not made any posts about the affair, preferring to focus on her musical career and professional projects.

Raphael Nunes, under-20 goalkeeper for Flamengo, celebrates a major milestone in his career and personal life. Diagnosed with a malignant tumor in the testicle last year, the young athlete is 100% recovered and is already participating in training without restrictions from the medical department. The expectation is that Raphael will be involved in games again soon, and will finally be able to play his first minutes on the field after a long recovery period of ten months.

Raphael Nunes' trajectory during this period was a lot of determination and overcoming. After the diagnosis, he underwent three intensive months of chemotherapy, from October to December last year. This treatment was crucial for his recovery, allowing him to resume sporting activities in April this year, initially gradually.

FLAMENGO HAS A GOOD RETURN TO THE CLUB

Raphael began his return to training by doing separate activities on the field. This process was necessary for him to regain his physical shape and confidence before fully reintegrating into the group. During these training sessions, the coaching staff, especially the goalkeeper trainers, highly praised the young man's progress. They highlight Raphael's commitment and dedication at each stage of his recovery.

Even during treatment, Raphael did not completely withdraw from the club environment. As soon as he received medical clearance to carry out activities at the gym, he returned to the Ninho do Urubu Training Center, which was essential to maintain his physical shape and prepare for his return to the pitch.
