In the transfer market ahead of the Club World Cup , Flamengo is very close to closing an important signing for midfield: Jorge Carrascal, 27 years old. The Colombian midfielder, who has already been on the Rubro-Negro's radar in the past, is in his fourth season in Russia. However, according to the Colombian media, he wants to leave the country and sign with Flamengo.
According to journalist Salomé Fajardo , "minimal details" separate the player from signing a contract. The goal, of course, is to have the Colombian ready for the Club World Cup. However, the contract will not be just for the tournament in the United States. Despite targeting the athlete as a reinforcement for the competition, Flamengo should sign a longer contract with Carrascal, the duration of which has not yet been announced .
Trained in the youth ranks of Millonarios-COL (who were Flamengo's rivals in the group stage of the 2024 Libertadores), Carrascal played only two professional games for the team that revealed him . He quickly started playing for Sevilla-ESP's youth ranks, who loaned him to Karpaty-UCR. The Ukrainian team decided to buy the player and, in 2019, loaned Carrascal to River Plate.
Even with few games, the Colombian was acquired permanently by the Buenos Aires team and achieved the best numbers of his career, with 63 games played in 2021 alone . There were six goals and five assists that season.
Having caught the attention of Europe, Carrascal made his way back for the following season , but on loan to CSKA-RUS. Once again, he was bought and stayed for one season. In 2023/2024, Carrascal was finally sold from CSKA to Dynamo Moscow and remains in Russia to this day. For his new club, he has already played 62 games, with eight goals and eight assists. According to Transfermarkt , the athlete's value is around €7 million (around R$44.8 million at the current rate).
At the end of May, while Flamengo was deciding a spot in the Copa do Brasil against Botafogo-PB, director José Boto assured that all possible reinforcements for the Club World Cup had already been mapped out and negotiations were underway . However, the Portuguese assured that he would not mention the names so as not to run the risk of disrupting the negotiations. The most obvious is Jorginho, who will be made official at any moment.
Flamengo's trip to the Club World Cup is scheduled for June 11 , five days before the opening match against Espérance-TUN. On the 20th, the opponent will be Chelsea . Finally, the Mais Querido will close the group stage in the United States against Los Angeles FC, on the 24th.

Flamengo will have an important reinforcement for the duel this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Defender Léo Ortiz returns to the starting lineup after serving an automatic suspension in the Brasileirão and is confirmed for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Estudiantes.
In addition to Léo Ortiz , other players are available again for Filipe Luís , including Varela and Bruno Henrique, who were rested against Juventude. Alex Sandro and Jorginho, on the other hand, remain doubtful and will have their fitness assessed shortly before the match.
Right-back Guillermo Varela, the team's starting right-back, is on the field with a yellow card. If he receives another warning, the Uruguayan will be out of the second leg, scheduled for September 25th at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium in La Plata.
To face Estudiantes, Flamengo must maintain the base of the team that has been playing: Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Jorginho) and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro and Samuel Lino.
Eduardo Domínguez will have almost his entire squad available for the game later today. He's expected to field the following: Muslera; Román Gómez, Santiago Núñez, Facundo Rodríguez, and Santiago Arzamendia; Ascacíbar, Gabriel Neves, Amondarain, and Medina; Tiago Palacios and Guido Carrillo.
The full-back has a yellow card and, if he receives another punishment at the Maracanã, he will be out of the decisive clash in Argentina in the quarterfinals.

Flamengo takes to the field this Thursday (18) , at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Estudiantes at Maracanã for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. In addition to the weight of the confrontation, coach Filipe Luís needs to manage an extra concern: right-back Guillermo Varela is suspended and could become an important absence for the return leg , scheduled for September 25, at Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in La Plata.
After resting some starters over the weekend, Filipe Luís will have reinforcements for the match. Varela, Bruno Henrique, and Léo Ortiz return after absences against Juventude , increasing the team's strength. Meanwhile, Alex Sandro and Jorginho are doubtful and will have their fitness assessed hours before the game.
On the other side, Estudiantes will have confirmed absences. Coach Eduardo Domínguez will be without González Pirez and Edwuin Cetré, both in the medical department. Even so, 27 players traveled to Rio de Janeiro and completed their final training session at Fluminense's training center in the West Zone. The Argentine team reaches the quarterfinals after defeating Cerro Porteño 1-0 on aggregate.
FLAMENGO (Coach: Filipe Luis): Rossi; Varela (Emerson Royal), Leo Ortiz, Leo Pereira and Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saul, De La Cruz (Jorginho) and Arrascaeta; Plata, Pedro and Samuel Lino.
