Flamengo is a great showcase for Europe, not only for renowned professional players but also for the youth team. In this way, Rubro-Negro anticipated renewing and increasing the termination fine on Joshua's contract, an athlete considered a jewel of the under-17s.
The young man has been monitored by European teams since he was little. For standing out in Mais Querido in the Copa Rio U-17, the midfielder caught the attention of some clubs. Therefore, Flamengo did not want to waste time and renewed the athlete, increasing the termination fine to 70 million euros (R$ 426 million) with a contract until 2029.
Joshua signed a new contract with Flamengo this past Tuesday (17). Thus, the young midfielder already has his second professional contract with Rubro-Negro. Before this happened, the player was champion with the Most Wanted of the Copa Rio under-17 against Vasco.
Making the title of jewel worth it, Joshua was once again decisive for Rubro-Negro. This is because, with the match approaching the end, the midfielder took responsibility and scored Mais Querido's second goal, leaving the score in favor at 2 to 1.
Throughout his time in Mais Querido's youth categories, Joshua has scored more than 100 goals. In the last under-17 match, the midfielder scored against Vasco on two occasions and, in addition, provided an assist. The number 10 was also chosen as the competition's top scorer.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
