The Rio club's interest in Pereira emerged as part of a strategy to reinforce its midfield options, aiming for national and international competitions. Although no negotiations have been officially confirmed so far, sources close to the club claim that Flamengo is closely monitoring the player's situation, evaluating his availability and the terms of a possible transfer.
Matheus Pereira, from 24 years old, he is seen as a promise on the Brazilian football scene, with technical skills and game vision that highlight him as a potential reinforcement for any team. His time at Cruzeiro put him in the spotlight, despite the turbulent moment faced by the Minas Gerais club.
The possible arrival of Matheus Pereira at Flamengo raises questions about how he would integrate into the current squad and what his tactical role would be within the coach's scheme. Furthermore, adapting to a large club like Flamengo is also an aspect to be considered, both for the player and the coaching staff.

From a financial point of view, hiring Pereira would involve a significant investment on the part of Flamengo, not only in terms of transfer, but also in wages and other costs associated with your hiring. However, the potential sporting and commercial return of this signing could make it a viable bet for the club.
Meanwhile, Matheus Pereira remains focused on his performance for Cruzeiro, contributing with his talent and commitment within field, even in the face of the challenges faced by the team. However, it is important to highlight that, until there is an official announcement from Flamengo or Cruzeiro, all information about this possible negotiation must be treated as speculation.

Wallace Yan was sent off after just 11 minutes in Flamengo's 1-0 loss to Bahia, drawing intense criticism, including from former player and broadcaster Neto. The young striker, who came on in the second half to try to help the team , ended up receiving two yellow cards in quick succession, leaving Flamengo with two players down.
During the program 'Os Donos da Bola,' Neto didn't mince words: "The two ejections in the Flamengo game were correct. Danilo's and that kid over there, who thinks he's Zico. Masked. Wallace Yan, who do you think you are? You wear a Flamengo jersey, brother," he said.
Neto emphasized the importance of young players understanding the responsibility of playing for the club and cited Mengão's longtime idols as role models. " The club is trying to win the Brazilian Championship, and you come onto the field and get sent off after 11 minutes. When did you play? Do you know who Zico is? Andrade? Cláudio Adão? Adílio? Who are you to do what you did?" he added.
The match against Bahia was already a challenge for Mengão, who were trailing 1-0 and had Danilo sent off in the first half. Wallace Yan came on as an attacking alternative in an attempt to level the playing field , but his early dismissal further complicated the team's situation.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the club decided not to remove the player from the main squad, but to impose an internal punishment for educational purposes. The measure aims to educate the player about the responsibility of acting with emotional balance in decisive matches.

The latest episode of the program "Resenha do Galinho," hosted by Zico on Flamengo TV, featured a special meeting with two of the club's most iconic goalkeepers: Raul Plassmann and Rossi . The greatest idol in Mengão's history acted as a mediator and facilitated a rich exchange of experiences between different generations of the goalkeeper.
One of the main topics of the discussion was the evolution of the goalkeeper's role in football and the differences between eras. Raul Plassmann, a world champion with Flamengo in 1981, recalled that he never had a coach specialized in the role during his career, a common practice in professional clubs today.
"I didn't have a goalkeeping coach. It was you and Bria, who would take free kicks after training sessions. It was a different world, Rossi, completely different from today. That's how football was run," Raul stated, highlighting the limitations of the time.
Rossi agreed with Raul and highlighted other significant changes in the goalkeeper's role. The Argentinean emphasized that goalkeepers now participate more in the game with their feet , which has transformed the style of the position and increased the market value of these players.
"Football has changed a lot. Before, the goalkeeper would pick up the ball and kick it long, but today it's played short. Even when it came to goalkeepers, they didn't come out as much before, and that's changed too. These days, a goalkeeper can be sold for €50 million, something that never used to happen . The goalkeeper participates more than it seems," explained Rossi.

This week, former Barcelona and PSG player Rafinha Alcântara appeared on the "Charla Podcast" and commented on his desire to play for Flamengo, the club he considers dear to his heart. The son of World Cup winner Mazinho, Rafinha said he was open to a possible return to Brazilian football , but has not made any concrete decisions at this time.
" I still haven't played in Brazil, but I'm still open to it, you never know . Specifically, Flamengo. Everyone knows I'm a Flamengo fan," said the midfielder, highlighting the influence of his Vasco-supporting father on his childhood.
Rafinha explained how, despite his family's Vasco da Gama tradition, he decided to support Flamengo as a child. During a Fla-Flu match, when he was about seven years old, he entered the field accompanied by players like Júlio César and Athirson, and was captivated by the red-and-black fans.
" I walked into a packed Maracanã stadium, with the Flamengo fans going crazy for the Fla-Flu match, and I said , 'I want to be that.' From then on, it was all talk at home: 'We're Flamengo fans, Dad,'" the midfielder recalled. This remarkable experience was crucial for the emotional bond with the "Most Beloved," which remains to this day.
When asked about a possible deal with Flamengo , Rafinha revealed that there were talks with the Rio de Janeiro club in 2017 , around the same time the club signed Everton Ribeiro. The player assessed that, even without completing the deal, his career choice was the right one.
" At that time, I had meetings with Flamengo, but I chose the path I followed . It was the right decision at the time," commented the former athlete, who still admires Mengão and considers the possibility of a return in the future.
