Flamengo 's search for reinforcements for 2025 has hit its first major obstacle. The club had been monitoring Malcom as one of the priorities for the offensive sector, but negotiations have not progressed. Al-Hilal has signaled that it will only negotiate with the Brazilian for an amount considered unrealistic by Rubro-Negro: 30 million euros.




The amount, equivalent to around R$160 million, completely deviates from the standards adopted by Flamengo in recent transfer windows. With a contract until 2027 at the Saudi club, Malcom will not be released for less than the stipulated amount, according to Bolavip Brasil, which in practice ends any possibility of an agreement in this window.



BOARD OF DIRECTORS SEEKS NEW AIR


The board understands that, although he is a player with undeniable quality, Malcom does not fit into the club's current financial situation, which prioritizes signings with a balanced cost-benefit ratio. The decision had already been made in other attempts to invest in athletes playing in Arab football.


NAMES ON THE MOST WANTED LIST

However, given Al-Hilal's inflexible stance, Flamengo opted to direct its resources to more viable targets. Two names are gaining momentum behind the scenes: Marcos Leonardo, also at Al-Hilal, and goalkeeper Bento, formerly of Athletico-PR. The search, however, goes beyond these two. The board's observation list includes players such as Pedrinho (Zenit), Josh Sargent (Norwich), Gabriel Pereira (Al-Rayyan), Tetê (Panathinaikos), Vitão (Inter Milan), Zé Lucas (Sport), Santino Andino (Godoy Cruz) and Ezequiel Barco (Spartak Moscow).


The idea is to maintain a competitive and deep base, with possible changes in the squad for both national competitions and the upcoming international challenge. Flamengo recognizes the need to raise the level, but without compromising the budget. Names like Bento and Pedrinho are considered more accessible and, at the same time, capable of delivering immediately.

Young striker Wallace Yan, 20, will be officially warned by Flamengo's board after being sent off in the match against Bahia , held last Sunday (5). The player received two yellow cards in a period of just ten minutes , in a move considered immature and avoidable by the coaching staff.


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 of an educational nature . The measure aims to educate the player about the responsibility of acting with emotional balance in decisive matches.


CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COACH


The club's board intends to handle the case as part of the striker's professional development process. Coach Filipe Luís and members of the coaching staff will participate in discussions with the player, reinforcing the importance of discipline and posture on the field.

" Filipe Luís will speak with him, as will club officials. The goal is to make him understand the magnitude of the mistake and its consequences," Venê said. The expulsion came at an important time for Wallace Yan, who was trying to regain his place in the first team.


WALLACE YAN CONTINUES WITH THE GROUP

With the suspension confirmed, Wallace Yan will continue training normally with the group, but under the supervision of the coaching staff. To become a regular player again, the Flamengo forward will need to demonstrate commitment and maturity on and off the field.
