The end of the year is getting closer and, while Flamengo's players are enjoying their holidays, the red and black board is racing against time to deliver to Tite what was promised: three or four new athletes to reinforce the team. The plan, according to the GOAL portal, is for these players to be available for the team's re-presentation, which is scheduled for January 8th.
Nicolás de la Cruz is the first name that already has the right contract with Mais Querido. His last game with River Plate (ARG) is this Friday (22), for the Argentine Super Cup. The other names that are circulating the transfer market are: Leo Ortiz, Gustavo Scarpa and Matías Viña.
Leo Ortiz is already somewhat on track with Mengão. In addition to the interest that exists from the club, he has also revealed that he would very much like to defend the Sacred Mantle, even though he has a prominent position at Red Bull Bragantino. What keeps the defender away from Rio de Janeiro is the amount that Fla is willing to pay, compared to what the Bragança Paulista team is asking for.
He even interrupted his trip to the States United to return to Brazil, this Friday morning (22), with the aim of softening the hearts of Braga's board, who are asking for 50 million reais, while Flamengo wants to pay around 20 million reais.
Matías Viña, from Sassuolo (ITA), should return to Brazil. According to GOAL, the board understands that there is an inclination of the full-back to return and is working on composing the sporting project for the player. Thus, Fla is waiting for a positive position from the full-back before starting negotiations with Roma (ITA), the club that holds his economic rights.
Initially, the Italians announced on the market that they want 10 million euros to negotiate the Uruguayan. This is even the purchase clause present in the player's loan contract to Sassuolo. Mais Querido's plan is, as in Léo Ortiz's situation, to use the athlete's desire to come and defend the Sacred Mantle to reduce the cost.
Gustavo Scarpa's situation is different. Still in the middle of this year, Flamengo tried to sign him, but he put his foot down, insisting on remaining in Europe. Currently, Nottingham Forest (ING), which loaned him to Olympiacos (GRE), is open to negotiating with Brazilian clubs and there are some giants fighting with Fla for the star.
At the moment, Atlético-MG is winning this race, after receiving an "ok" from the athlete, working on making the negotiation for the midfielder official as quickly as possible.
With a million-dollar offer, the betting house tries to occupy Pixbet's space on the red-black shirt and the club needs to notify its current master sponsorship partner.

Flamengo has received a high-value offer from Superbet to fill the master sponsorship slot currently held by Pixbet. The information was released by Poder360. Under the current contract, Pixbet holds the right to match any offer before the club signs a new agreement , thus ensuring the possibility of maintaining the exclusive jersey design.
This clause is included in the contract signed between the parties, which prevents a direct sponsor change without the current partner having the opportunity to match the amounts. It's now up to Pixbet to decide whether to continue with the main sponsorship or make way for Superbet.
Pixbet currently holds the most valuable master sponsorship contract in Brazilian soccer, with staggered annual payments: R$105 million in the first year, R$115 million in the second, and R$125 million in the third . The club also receives bonuses related to FlaBet, which is featured on another part of the kit, reinforcing the importance of partnerships with the betting industry for annual revenue.
The board carefully evaluates all aspects of the proposal, weighing the financial and strategic impact of the change. Ensuring economic stability is seen as essential to maintaining competitiveness in national and international tournaments.
While discussing the issue off the pitch, Flamengo is preparing to face Internacional this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The result will be crucial for the club's ambitions in the competition.

With Arrascaeta suspended and Pulgar and Danilo out injured, Mengão is banking on the return of De La Cruz and Jorginho to face Colorado Gaúcho

Flamengo and Internacional face each other this Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Coach Filipe Luís will not have Arrascaeta, suspended, and will have more absences due to injury, but there is an expectation for the return of important names.
Mengão should have the return of Jorginho, who was absent from the team in the last match in the Brazilian Championship, when the team beat Mirassol 2-1. Nico De La Cruz, who has not played since July 16 due to a left knee injury , trained with the squad on Monday (11) and could be included. Training on Tuesday (12) will define his presence among those called up.
The most likely lineup for the match is: Rossi; Alex Sandro, Léo Pereira, Léo Ortiz, and Emerson Royal; Allan, Jorginho, Samuel Lino, Luiz Araújo, and Plata; Pedro. Coach: Filipe Luís.
Among the confirmed absences are Erick Pulgar, recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, and Danilo, who is undergoing treatment for a hamstring injury in his right thigh. Arrascaeta is also out due to suspension after receiving his third yellow card in the group stage against Deportivo Táchira.
The ball kicks off at 9:30 p.m. at Maracanã Stadium , and a packed house is expected to push Flamengo toward the return leg, scheduled for the 20th at Beira-Rio. The Rio de Janeiro team's goal is to build a comfortable lead and take advantage of the home advantage to put pressure on their opponents.
