Flamengo reappears this Wednesday (8), at Ninho do Urubu, marking the beginning of pre-season of 2025. After two days of activities in the CT, the main squad will embark for the United States, while the under-20 starter will remain in Rio de Janeiro b> to compete in the Campeonato Carioca.
Focus on management and planning
Under the leadership of football director José Boto and coach Filipe Luís, Flamengo starts the year with a focus on adjustments to the squad and the search for strategic reinforcements. Boto, who has been using this period to observe the players and get to know the youth at the base, has already defined priorities for the first weeks of work.
Among the base athletes being watched by the Portuguese are names like striker Carlinhos, midfielder Lorran, and defenders Cleiton and Pablo, who returned from loan.
Definitions and movements in the market
The stay of full-back Wesley was one of Boto's first missions. Flamengo turned down offers from Aston Villa, Milan and Everton, prioritizing a possible sale worth around 30 million euros after the World Cup.
On the other hand, the future of Fabrício Bruno remains undefined. The club is awaiting a new proposal from Cruzeiro, with the expectation of a sale for around 8 million euros for 70% of the economic rights. The negotiation is seen as a priority and must be completed before the complete re-presentation of the squad.
With the likely departure of Fabrício Bruno and the end of David Luiz's contract, the defense entered on Flamengo's list of priorities in the market.
Reinforcements for attack and other positions
Flamengo is also looking for a striker to fill Gabigol's absence and play alongside Pedro, who is recovering from injury. The choice will be based on the defined characteristics between Boto and Filipe Luís, focusing on a versatile player who can compete for position with the number 9.
In addition to attack, other positions of interest include right wing, midfield and defender. The club is looking for a midfielder with the characteristics of a classic "number 8", capable of making the transition between defense and attack.
Caution in the market
Despite the identified needs, Flamengo adopts a cautious approach to the market. The board made it clear that there will be no rush to hire, prioritizing assertive decisions and minimizing errors when choosing reinforcements.
Meanwhile, the sub-20 youngsters have already made their debut with victory in the Copinha 2025 , with the alternative team representing the club in the most traditional youth competition in Brazil.
Despite being suggested to Mais Querido in this window, the midfielder still has a distant future at the Rio de Janeiro club, which prioritizes other positions in the market.

Midfielder Arthur, currently without a place at Juventus, was offered to Flamengo this transfer window. The player, who is close to returning to Grêmio , was analyzed by the Flamengo board, but without progress.
According to journalist Venê Casagrande, on his YouTube channel, the Rio de Janeiro club only sounded out values , in a move considered routine behind the scenes, but did not open negotiations for his signing.
Arthur emerged as a promising player at Barcelona, but failed to maintain regularity in European football. He played for Juventus, Liverpool, and Girona without much success. Last season, on loan to Fiorentina, he performed well and managed to regain some of his prestige.
For Juventus, the Brazilian made 63 appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Still, he's not in the Italian club's plans, and they're considering a permanent exit.
While Arthur's name is being circulated on the transfer market, Flamengo remains focused on strengthening other positions. A center forward and a goalkeeper are the main targets for José Boto's football department.
