Flamengo continues its intense preparation to face Internacional, this Saturday (29), in the first round of the Brazilian Championship. With the aim of starting the competition on the right foot, Rubro-Negro should enter the field with full strength and count on the support of the fans at Maracanã to achieve the first victory in the search for the national title.
CRF's record playing the first round of the Brasileirão at Maracanã is positive. In 28 opportunities, the club won 13 times, drew nine times and suffered six losses, achieving a 57% success rate at the stadium. With this favorable record, coach Filipe Luís hopes to start the 2025 campaign with a good result and pave the way towards the ninth championship.
TOTAL PRIORITY IN THE BRAZILIAN CHAMPIONSHIP
For Filipe Luís, the Brazilian Championship is Flamengo 's main goal this season. Therefore, during the State Championship, the coach chose to rest several players, minimizing physical wear and tear and ensuring that the squad is in full condition for the marathon of games in the national competition. Despite prioritizing the national league, Mengão also has other important tournaments on its radar, such as the Copa Libertadores and the Copa do Brasil. However, the initial focus is on winning the Brasileirão, a competition that the club has not won since 2020.
REINFORCEMENTS MAY BE AVAILABLE
The good news for the fans is that Flamengo could have up to three important reinforcements for the match against Internacional. Everton Cebolinha and Danilo have already returned to training on the Ninho do Urubu pitch, while Bruno Henrique has shown progress in his recovery from a thigh injury. The trio's presence in the debut depends on their performance in training this week. If they are fit, Filipe Luís will have more options to field in the starting lineup and reinforce the attack against the team from Rio Grande do Sul.
The duel between Flamengo and Internacional is scheduled for 9 pm (Brasília time) this Saturday (29), at Maracanã. The expectation is a full house, with the red-black fans cheering the team on from the first minute. With a qualified squad and motivated by the preseason, Mais Querido seeks to start its journey in the Brasileirão with a victory against Colorado. The match promises to be intense, with two teams that usually fight at the top of the table.
With little space in the professional team, the athlete remains in the base of Mais Querido after a new international investment; Pisa's loan proposal was denied

Flamengo has once again been approached by European clubs interested in one of its most talked-about prospects: midfielder Lorran. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pisa, recently promoted to the Italian football elite, made a loan offer for the player, but the terms of the negotiation did not please the red-black board, which chose to reject the proposal.
With the decision, the club kept Lorran in the under-20 squad , where he competes in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Despite being away from the main squad, the youngster continues to stand out with good performances and technical moves in training, which continues to arouse the interest of teams outside the country.
Pisa is experiencing a historic moment after securing promotion to Italy's Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.
Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder. Information from the portal “RTI Esportes” reveals that the French club met with José Boto , an executive with a history in European football, to evaluate the viability of a proposal of €15 million (approximately R$96.7 million).
This is not the first time that Lorran's future has been discussed. Earlier this year, the player was very close to a transfer to CSKA in Russia , but the deal was cancelled in the final moments. The Rio de Janeiro club's board also sought a possible loan transfer to Estoril in Portugal, without success.
Negotiations between the Portuguese club and Mais Querido evolve towards a definitive sale; the proposal pleased the board, and the contract is for a three-year term

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.
The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.
During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.
