Zenit (RUS) is one of the clubs that has appeared most in the red and black news due to the negotiation of Flamengo with Claudinho. However, despite the midfielder's release being far away, the clubs have come closer in the youth categories. This last Friday (9), representatives of the Russian team were at CT Ninho do Urubu to exchange experiences.


According to information from influencer Guilherme "Flazoeiro", directors from the Zenit base presented, among other points, how the Russian team's "player academy" works. That is, details of the St. Petersburg club department. Furthermore, the directors of Mais Querido from the lower categories also explained the day-to-day operations at Ninho do Urubu.


RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TEAMS IN THE PROFESSIONAL


While the directors understand each other in the base, the professional is already different. This is because the Russian club continues to make it difficult to release midfielder Claudinho. Remembering that Rubro-Negro sent a proposal of 18 million euros (R$ 109 million), Zenit even signaled positively, but later backed down, irritating Mais Querido's board. To make matters worse, President Rodolfo Landim made a statement that did not go down well in Russia.

"We do not hide the fact that we have been communicating with Claudinho for a long time, he is a kind of object of desire for us He is an idol there; he was considered the best player in Russia for several years. I think he can't play in the European championship again. he's unhappy. Deep down, we believe in common sense, even though we're Russians", Landim told 'Charla Podcast'.


MEANWHILE...

While the boards continue to try to get along get it right, the red and black squad focuses on the sequence of games of the week. Thus, Mais Querido finalizes preparation for the clash against Palmeiras this Saturday (10). The game will be valid for the Brasileirão, this Sunday (11), at 4pm, at Maracanã.

The Deliberative Council of Flamengo voted and approved, this Tuesday, Shopee's new sponsorship. The Singaporean brand will print the sleeves of the shirts of the men's and women's football teams, as well as the basketball team. The sponsorship will yield R$ 12 million fixed to Flamengo. Payment will be made in three installments of R$4 million (February, April and July). There is still a variable value. That's 5% of sales in the Shopee affiliate program.


Thebrand will be on the sleeves of the game, training and warm-up shirt of the men's and women's football teams. In basketball, it is in front of the game, training and warm-up shorts. In terms of comparison, Kwai paid R$10 million for the same space in the 2024 season. The contract with Shopee will be until December 31, 2025.


On the back, Flamengo will not immediately fill the gap left by Mercado Livre. A test will be carried out with the FlaBet exhibition for a period of three months. The idea is to leverage the number of bets and earn more royalties, as you receive 1% of the gross value of bets.

In addition to technical quality, aspects such as age, injury history and tactical profile are taken into account by scouts. In the case of Carlinhos, Flamengocontinues to explore possibilities that are advantageous to both parties, respecting the planning outlined by the technical committee and the board.


With just a few weeks until the transfer window closes, Mengão intensifies efforts to provide closure to the attacker's situation. The club hopes to resolve the case quickly, allowing Carlinhos to be able to play regularly for another team. The case reflects the challenges faced by big clubs like Flamengo when managing extensive and competitive squads, where opportunities for some players end up being limited.
