Highlight in the Conquest of the Libertadores U20
|
The young Nigerian striker, Shola, aged 19, has been attracting attention on the football scene by standing out for Flamengo in the recent victory of the Libertadores U20. His performance on the field did not go unnoticed by international football scouts, arousing interest from clubs such as CSKA, from Russia.
Shola is from Nigeria and is currently on loan to Flamengo from the Nigerian club Remo Stars. According to information, the loan contract includes a purchase option clause, in which Flamengo has the possibility of acquiring 70% of the player's rights for 450 thousand dollars.
However, CSKA entered the competition for the young talent and made an offer to Remo Stars worth 700 thousand dollars for 70% of Shola's rights. This proposal put Flamengo on alert as risk of losing the player if he does not exercise his purchase option. The company responsible for managing the athlete's career, Websoccer, is actively involved in the negotiations, seeking the best outcome for Shola's future.
The Flamengo fans are divided between the expectation of keeping Shola in the squad and the fear of losing him to a foreign club. The young Nigerian promise won the hearts of fans with his skill and determination on the field, quickly becoming one of the favorites of the Red and Black Nation.
While negotiations continue behind the scenes, Shola continues to train and dedicate himself to Flamengo, demonstrating professionalism and commitment to the club that welcomed him. Shola's future is still uncertain, but one thing is certain: his talent and potential promise to shine on the pitch, whether wearing the red-black mantle or defending the colors of another club.

Club seeks internal solutions for attack
|
After suffering a serious injury to his left knee, Flamengo striker Pedro is out of the 2024 season and only should return to the pitch in 2025. With the absence of number 9, Flamengo's board decided not to make major investments in the transfer market and opted to look for solutions within the squad itself. The main name chosen to replace Pedro is Gabigol, the club's idol, despite being in a less prestigious phase.
Even though he is experiencing a moment of lesser protagonism, Gabigol is seen as the main option to take the place of Pedro. Pedro. With decisive goals in the 2019, 2021 and 2022 Libertadores finals, Gabigol is still a reference for the red and black attack. The curious thing is that all the goals scored by Flamengo in the last three finals of the continental tournament went to number 99, consolidating his historical importance at the club.
Despite this, the striker lost space in the current season under coach Tite's command. So far, Gabigol has started just three matches, scoring four goals and one assist. However, he appeared in 21 games, which indicates his constant presence in the coach's options.
In addition to Gabigol, Flamengo has Bruno Henrique, who has already played as a center forward, and Carlinhos, a young promise from the base, as alternatives to make up for Pedro's absence. The club's bet is not to do "financial madness", focusing on making the most of the players who are already part of the squad.
Without Pedro, Flamengo returns to the field on September 12th to face Bahia, in a match valid for the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Cup. Rubro-Negro has the advantage of the first clash, having won 1-0 at Arena Fonte Nova. Now, the team only needs a draw at Maracanã to guarantee their place in the tournament's semi-finals.
