Antony, a Brazilian striker currently on the Manchester United squad, could find a new opportunity at Flamengo. According to information gathered by journalist Julio Miguel Neto, Mais Querido is evaluating the possibility of making a one-year loan proposal viable to count on the player during the mid-year window.

At 24 years old, Antony faces a period of instability at the English club, where it has faced difficulties in gaining space in the starting team. Signed in 2022 for a significant amount, close to 100 million euros, the player has not yet managed to establish himself in the team, which has led Manchester United to consider the loan option as a viable alternative. In this context, Flamengo appears as a possible attractive destination for the player, given the good relationship between the clubs, exemplified by previous deals such as the loan of Andreas Pereira in 2021.

However, the business faces some significant obstacles. One of them is a personal issue involving Antony, who was involved in a fight with his girlfriend last year, a fact that could raise concerns about his off-field conduct. Furthermore, the relationship between the player's agent, Júnior Pedroso, and Flamengo, especially with regard to the renewal of Gabigol's contract, could influence the negotiations and generate some discomfort between the parties involved.

WHERE DOES FLAMENGO COME INTO THE MOVE ?

Faced with this scenario, Flamengo, under the analysis of the board and with the approval of the coach and other sectors of the club, is weighing the pros and cons of a possible attack by Antony. The player, in turn, welcomes the possibility of returning to Brazil and playing for one of the country's main clubs, where he could have more opportunities to showcase his talent and recover his best physical and technical shape.

< The outcome of this story is still open, and will depend on negotiations between the parties involved, as well as any agreements and adjustments that may be made throughout the process. However, it is certain that the interest of Flamengo in reinforcing its squad with a player of Antony's caliber demonstrates the club's ambition and commitment to seeking the best talent available on the market, aiming to achieve its sporting goals and remain at a high competitive level both nationally and internationally.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual .
