Currently at different stages in the Brazilian Series A league table, Vasco and Fluminense have a clash scheduled for August 10th, valid for the 22nd round. The date falls on a Saturday, considered perfect for a joyful and festive afternoon/evening at Maracanã, Rio's main football stage. However, there is still no defined location for the classic. According to sources linked to the consortium that manages the stadium, the company responsible for maintaining the pitch contraindicated the transfer, considering that Flamengo will face Palmeiras on the 11th and Bolívar on the 15th.




Although Fluminense is not in charge of the field, the club, as one of Maracanã's concessionaires, should be more involved in the issue. The alternative of playing in Cariacica (ES) was ruled out for security reasons, while Botafogo was not interested in renting the Nilton Santos Stadium to its rivals. Furthermore, the Special Stadium Policing Battalion vetoed the holding of the classic in São Januário. Given this, the possibility of taking the game to cities in the North and Northeast appears behind the scenes, which logistically would not be advantageous for the tricolors.



For Vasco, Playing outside the Southeast Region, in places like Manaus or Belém, would not be a big problem, as the club has a good number of fans in any place in the country. However, Fluminense, who faces Cuiabá at Arena Pantanal this Sunday, would have the opportunity to play three matches in Rio de Janeiro before the clash with Grêmio, in Porto Alegre, in the round of 16 of the Libertadores — against Bahia, Juventude (for the Copa Brazil) and Vasco. This would represent a comfort that the team would not have if the classic were held outside the Southeast Region.



It is considered absurd that the tricolors cannot play at Maracanã, even though they are not being the hosts of the classic. Although there is concern about preparing the pitch for Flamengo's game against Bolívar the following Thursday, in the round of 16 of the Libertadores, many argue that this concern should not override the interest of Rio football. Maracanã, despite being under the management of the Fla-Flu duo for the next 20 years, continues to be a public asset intended to serve Rio's clubs.


Ahead In this scenario, it is crucial that Fluminense takes a more active stance in the search for the classic at Maracanã. The decision directly impacts not only the clubs involved, but also the fans and the tradition of Rio football. It is essential that the stadium, a symbol of national football, is used in a way that meets the interests of all clubs in Rio de Janeiro.

Flamengo has formalized a proposal for goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão , Santos' standout player in 2025. According to information from UOL, Rubro-Negro offered seven million euros (around R$45 million) for 60% of the player's economic rights.


Despite the high price, Santos rejected the offer. The São Paulo club believes Brazão should only leave if a minimum offer of €15 million (approximately R$94 million) is met, a sum considered fair by the board to open negotiations.


WHAT DID GAZETA DO URUBU FIND?


According to Gazeta do Urubu , the Rio de Janeiro club has not yet made an official offer to the player. Sources within the board revealed that the player is being monitored, but there have been no official talks with the goalkeeper yet.

SANTOS HOLDS THE GOALKEEPER


Gabriel Brazão is in great form and has become one of the most highly valued goalkeepers in Brazilian football. In addition to Flamengo 's interest, European clubs are also monitoring the situation. Torino, from Italy, even submitted a R$64 million offer , which Santos also rejected.

Other giants like Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Porto are closely monitoring the player's progress , as he has played 33 matches this season. Santos' board, which recently loaned João Paulo to Bahia, is working to keep Brazão at least until the end of the year.

Even after a successful transfer window, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market to further strengthen its squad . The main target at this time is Argentine striker Valentín Castellanos , a player who has expressed interest in joining Flamengo but faces resistance from Lazio, who are not making his exit easy.


Last Saturday (16), Lazio played a friendly against Atromitos, from Greece, winning 2-0. However, the match was marked by a general confusion that resulted in the expulsion of Castellanos . The Mengão striker disagreed with defender Mansur , exchanged aggressions and ended up receiving a red card.


According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, the fight didn't end on the field. In the locker room, the situation escalated, and the police had to intervene to calm things down . Italian press sources indicate that Castellanos is experiencing emotional instability, driven by frustration at not being released by Lazio to play in Brazilian football.


WHAT DOES THE GAZETA KNOW?
According to an investigation by Gazeta do Urubu, major signings would only happen if there was an unexpected departure or serious injury to a starter. Therefore, the club will not make any further moves for Taty Castellanos.
FLAMENGO LOOKING FOR CENTER FORWARD

In the market, the Rubro-Negro are looking for a number 9 with different characteristics than Pedro , prioritizing a more mobile and versatile player in attack. Names like Taremi, Beltrán, and Castellanos were only monitored by the Rio team.
