With Wesley 's recent departure and Emerson Royal's adjustment period, Uruguayan Guillermo Varela has taken over as Flamengo's right-back. The number 2 is enjoying his best moment at the club and, at the same time, is making progress in negotiations to renew his contract, a negotiation that has been dragging on since the beginning of 2025.
The player was one of the standout performers in the Copa do Brasil match against Atlético-MG at Arena MRV. Despite the penalty shootout loss, he demonstrated defensive confidence and efficiency in attacking support, reinforcing his importance in Filipe Luís's tactical scheme.
According to information from GE, the talks that began in March are close to a positive conclusion . Issues related to the salary adjustment and the duration of the contract have already been resolved. The new contract is expected to be signed in the coming days, extending Varela's tenure until December 2027.
The full-back, whose current contract expires at the end of this year, has the backing of Filipe Luís, who has previously publicly advocated for his continued presence . The Uruguayan's versatility, which can also play improvised left-back and midfield, was a decisive factor in his increase in value.
Although he's enjoying a moment of prominence, Varela isn't assured of a long-term starting spot. The coaching staff values the healthy competition for the starting spot, noting that each full-back offers different attributes. While the Uruguayan stands out for his defensive solidity, Emerson Royal is seen as a player with physical explosiveness and speed, ideal for accelerating offensive transitions.

Estudiantes coach Eduardo Domínguez has previewed the decisive match against Flamengo, scheduled for next Thursday (25), at the UNO Stadium in La Plata. On Monday night (22), after the 1-0 victory over Defensa y Justicia in the Argentine Championship , the coach gave a press conference to comment on the team's preparation and recent controversies.
When asked about CONMEBOL 's overturning of Gonzalo Plata's red card, which cleared the player to play in the match, Domínguez declined to elaborate. " We have to focus on getting through the series. There's no point in talking now about whether he deserved to be sent off earlier or not. The highest authority is CONMEBOL," the coach said, avoiding direct criticism of the organization.
Despite his caution, Domínguez didn't fail to mention Flamengo's influence off the field. "They're a powerful team and have the tools to speak up and apply pressure. And let them speak up. I'm focused on working and demonstrating with our fans ," he stated, also refuting what he called "made-up stories" in the press about the first leg at Maracanã.
While acknowledging the quality of the Flamengo squad, Domínguez highlighted the small aggregate score difference— Flamengo won 2-1 in Rio de Janeiro —and reinforced his confidence in Estudiantes' performance at home. "With all their power, we're just one goal behind. We have to study what we did and what we can improve. It will be a very competitive match, and we're strong at home," he emphasized.
Domínguez believes Flamengo won't go to La Plata just to defend. " They'll come to defend the result, but they'll also want to have the ball and attack. We believe we know how we have to defend ourselves," analyzed the coach, expressing optimism about the strategy outlined for the decisive Libertadores quarterfinal match.

News from England stirred up the Brazilian football scene this Monday (22). According to information from journalist Samuel Luckhurst, from The Sun newspaper , Manchester United does not intend to renew Casemiro's contract, which runs until June 2026. With that, the Brazilian will be able to sign a pre-contract at the beginning of next year, opening space for negotiations with clubs from other countries.
Naturally, the Red-Black Nation has joined the debate. Flamengo , which has recently taken an aggressive stance in the European market by signing names like Jorginho, Samuel Lino, Saúl, Carrascal, and Emerson Royal , appears as one of the possible destinations for the 33-year-old midfielder.
So far, there's no official proposal, but the issue is already mobilizing fans on social media. According to Gazeta do Urubu, the Mais Querido board isn't yet considering any moves for 2026.
Casemiro joined Manchester United in 2022 for a reported €70 million (approximately R$429 million at the time) . Since then, he has made 130 appearances, scoring 18 goals, and providing 11 assists for the Red Devils. Prior to that, he had a distinguished career at Real Madrid, where he played in over 330 matches and won five Champions League titles.
At Flamengo , the debate revolves around Casemiro's fit into the current squad, led by Filipe Luís. The starting midfield has been formed by Jorginho, Saúl, and Arrascaeta, but the arrival of the experienced midfielder could add marking power , leadership, and international experience to the red-and-black team.
