O Flamengo is looking for reinforcements for the season and one of the names that recently appeared on the club's radar is left-back Alex Sandro, currently at Juventus, in Italy. The red-black club initiated the first contacts to evaluate the possibility of negotiation, and the initial conversations were considered positive. The expectation is that negotiations will progress in the coming days, as Flamengo intensifies its efforts to complete the reinforcement.
Alex Sandro, who has a long career in Europe, is seen as a strong option to strengthen the Flamengo's left flank. The player has a good relationship with coach Tite, which could be a facilitating factor in negotiations between the parties. Tite, who already managed Alex Sandro in the Brazilian team, has the athlete's trust, and this proximity could be an important difference for the player to accept the proposal to return to Brazilian football.
FLAMENGO HAS ADVANCE CONVERSATIONS
The need for a left-back at Flamengo is evident, especially after the injury to Matías Viña, which left a gap in the position. With the season underway and important competitions ahead, Flamengo's board is aware that it needs to act quickly to fill this gap and maintain the team's level of competitiveness.
The possibility of counting on Alex Sandro is viewed favorably by Flamengo's technical committee and board. The 33-year-old has extensive international experience, with spells at prominent clubs such as Porto and Juventus, in addition to his regular participation in the Brazilian national team. His arrival would bring not only technical quality, but also experience and leadership to the red and black squad.
The striker lost his place at Mengão with the arrivals of the last window and is not expected to remain in the squad for 2026, but the club wants to receive a considerable amount.

Striker Michael is going through a difficult time at Flamengo . Having not played in three months since the Club World Cup, he has lost his place under coach Filipe Luís and sees his second stint with the club coming to an end .
Behind the scenes, the mood is one of dissatisfaction. Michael is reportedly upset about becoming the last option in the squad and is already seeking an immediate exit . However, a transfer this year is considered unlikely, and the trend is that he will only leave in 2026.
Recently, reports surfaced that Corinthians coach Dorival Júnior had suggested Michael as a reinforcement for next season. The Flamengo board, however, has no intention of releasing the player easily. According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Flamengo expects to receive between €7 and €9 million (approximately R$43 to R$56 million, at the current exchange rate) to negotiate the striker—a figure that would derail the São Paulo club's interest.
With a contract until the end of 2028, the club sees no risk of losing him for free and plans to recoup part of the investment made upon his return. Corinthians, however, would only move forward with a potential negotiation if the player agreed to a significant salary reduction, currently estimated at R$1.5 million per month.
Michael's return to Flamengo in August generated great anticipation among fans. However, the striker failed to replicate the performance of his first stint. According to data from the Transfermarkt portal, the number 30 has played 145 games, scoring 29 goals and providing 19 assists for the club . Despite these impressive numbers, his recent lack of prominence and his loss of place in the squad have put his future in doubt.
The striker had his name linked with Mengão, but he should receive an offer to stay in England aiming for more minutes on the field

Gabriel Jesus' future is once again stirring up the European market and also sparking interest in Brazil. The Arsenal striker has landed on Flamengo's radar , but the high fees involved make any move extremely difficult for the Rio de Janeiro club. In England, Everton has emerged as the main interested party for the 2026 season .
Everton are looking for a top center forward and consider Gabriel Jesus the ideal candidate to lead their rebuild. Arsenal, however, aren't going to make things easy: the London club is asking £30 million (approximately R$217 million) for the player's release . Despite the high price, the Toffees aren't ruling out a move, as long as the striker agrees to adjust his salary terms.
In Brazil, Flamengo is monitoring the situation remotely. The board believes that a proposal would only be possible if the player's fees were significantly reduced or if Arsenal changed its stance, as it has so far ruled out any loan offer and insisted on a permanent sale.
Gabriel Jesus earns approximately £13.7 million per season, equivalent to R$99 million annually, or about R$8.2 million per month . This salary level is unaffordable for almost all clubs outside of Europe's elite. Everton is considering moving forward only if the striker agrees to a salary reduction, as they cannot match Arsenal's current pay.
To play for Flamengo, the Brazilian would have to accept a drastic salary cut . Even though he's a highly popular player, the board believes it would be impossible to handle such a large payroll without compromising financial planning.
At 28 years old, Gabriel Jesus still attracts interest from several markets. Everton appears to be the most realistic destination, while Flamengo remains alert to a possible unlikely opportunity . Arsenal, meanwhile, is awaiting official offers to finalize the striker's future in the January window.

Flamengo takes to the field this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. However, in addition to the concern about the result, Filipe Luís' team needs to manage the risk of important suspensions for the next match, against Botafogo.
The main name among those suspended is Arrascaeta, Flamengo 's technical standout this season and a key player in the red-and-black formation . The Uruguayan will need to act cautiously to avoid receiving a third yellow card.
Another player under scrutiny is Colombian Carrascal , who also has two cards and could be out if he receives another warning. Rounding out the list is midfielder Allan, who divides opinion among fans, who is the third player at risk of suspension.
In addition to the available trio, midfielder Erick Pulgar is also suspended, although he remains out due to injury . The Chilean is recovering from a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot and has no confirmed return date yet.
Of the suspended players, only Arrascaeta is expected to start. Flamengo 's likely starting lineup for the match in Salvador is: Rossi; Varela (Royal), Danilo, Léo Ortiz, and Ayrton Lucas; De la Cruz, Jorginho, and Arrascaeta; Plata (Carrascal), Samuel Lino (Cebolinha), and Pedro .
After the clash at Fonte Nova, Flamengo returns to the field on Wednesday (15) to face Botafogo, at 7:30 pm, at Nilton Santos Stadium (Engenhão) . With three athletes at risk of suspension, Filipe Luís must guide the squad to act with discipline to avoid absences in the classic.
