The information was initially published by the BolaVip Brasil portal and points to a change in Flamengo's stance regarding Wesley 's request . Although the club has set 35 million euros as the departure value — around R$252 million at the current exchange rate —, the scenario is different behind the scenes. According to RTI Esporte, the football leadership at Ninho do Urubu admits to relaxing the initial demand, which increases the chance of the number 43 leaving this window. With that, José Boto, executive director, is already moving to conduct negotiations, in case more concrete proposals come to the table.
The expectation is that the European market will turn its attention to the full-back from June, when the summer window officially opens. Wesley, who was recently mentioned in a preliminary list of observations by Carlo Ancelotti 's coaching staff for the Brazilian national team, continues to be on the rise. Internally, Flamengo understands that the call-up strengthens the player's profile, which could increase the interest of clubs from the Old Continent. However, the signal that Manchester City — a former interested party — has changed its focus to Newcastle's Tino Livramento raises caution.
Therefore, the club does not rule out a more aggressive approach in other markets, including offers below 35 million euros. The decision to give in to the initial value also reflects the need to maintain a balanced squad and strengthen other positions. Wesley has a contract with Flamengo until December 2028 and is having the most consistent season of his career. Under Filipe Luís, the full-back has played 22 games, scored one goal and provided two assists, in addition to earning the coach's trust.
The coaching staff sees an improvement in the player's tactical behavior, especially in defense. The fact that he became a regular starter in 2025 is a reflection of his good performance, despite the competition in the squad. With the Super Club World Cup approaching in 2025, Flamengo intends to assemble a strong squad. Therefore, decisions regarding players' arrivals and departures will be made strategically, always with the approval of the coaching staff and with a focus on international competitiveness.
Wesley's name was mentioned on Manchester City's radar in January, but their interest did not evolve. At the time, Pep Guardiola's team was evaluating alternatives for the sector, and the young red-and-black was seen as a possible future bet. However, with Livramento's rise at Newcastle and his value in the English market, City adjusted its planning and prioritized his compatriot. Thus, Wesley returned to the market with less force, although he continues to be watched by other European clubs.

Although he was the first signing by Flamengo in this transfer window, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was the last to show up in Rio de Janeiro . According to the 'GE' portal, the last document signed by the Russian club arrived at Flamengo late in the afternoon of this Friday (1st). With that, the official announcement of the player will be made in the coming days, after the conclusion of pending procedures with Atlético-MG.
The reason for the delay was that Dynamo Moscow, his former club, took too long to complete the necessary paperwork for the transfer . The Russian team only released the Colombian after signing Rubens from Atlético-MG as a replacement.
At Dynamo's request, Flamengo will participate in the payment to Atlético-MG for Rubens' acquisition. Thus, a significant portion of the €12 million (R$77 million) invested by Carrascal will go to the Minas Gerais club.
Despite being in Rio since Wednesday, Carrascal has not yet been regularized with the CBF, which prevents him from playing in the next matches — against Ceará, this Sunday (3), for the Brasileirão, and against Atlético-MG, Wednesday (7), for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The registration deadlines for both matches have already expired.
The Colombian's debut is scheduled for August 9th against Mirassol at Maracanã, in the final round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship . Having been training regularly and playing for Dinamo, Carrascal is expected to be available to Filipe Luís as soon as he is officially confirmed. He has already passed the medical exams but will only be able to train with the club after being registered.
Alvinegro still owed Mengão for the signing of Matheuzinho, but managed to deposit a huge amount to close the matter.

Flamengo received, this Friday (1st), another millionaire amount related to the sale of right-back Matheuzinho. Corinthians paid around R$ 14 million to Rubro-Negro , paying off the remaining amount of the negotiation made in February of this year.
At the time, the Rio de Janeiro club sold the player for R$21.48 million, but Corinthians delayed the third installment of the agreement. As a result, Flamengo demanded immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount . The information was initially reported by the portal Meu Timão.
To facilitate the payment, Corinthians signed an agreement with Brax, the company responsible for marketing advertising signs for both clubs. The company acted as guarantor for the deal and transferred the funds to Flamengo .
By August, Corinthians had already paid R$8 million directly to the Rio de Janeiro club. It then transferred R$7.58 million to Brax , which topped up the amount with another R$6 million , fully settling the debt with the club.
While the board celebrates receiving the amount, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team led by Filipe Luís returns to play this Sunday (3), against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view.

Flamengo has already made four signings official this transfer window , but the delay in negotiations has drawn criticism from some fans . During striker Samuel Lino's presentation, football director José Boto spoke out on the matter and apologized to the Flamengo Nation.
“Sometimes things take a little longer than the fans want, and I apologize to the fans, but we ( Flamengo 's board) have fixed ideas, and as long as it's possible to have the players we want , we'll go after it,” explained Boto.
Brazilian football's second transfer window opened on July 10th, and Flamengo began the period cautiously, monitoring the market and evaluating options. As the weeks progressed, the board accelerated negotiations and secured four key signings : Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal.
Despite the names already confirmed, Flamengo remains attentive to the market. The club is in ongoing negotiations with Fiorentina, Italy, to sign striker Lucas Beltrán . Flamengo has already agreed on a fee with the Italian club, but still needs to convince the Argentine player to return to South America.
While the board works behind the scenes, the squad led by Filipe Luís focuses on the challenges on the field. Flamengo's next match is this Sunday (3), against Ceará , at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
