O Flamengo remains interested in signing defender Vitão, from Internacional, and has already presented a detailed proposal to the club gaucho. Rubro-Negro is willing to sign a five-year contract with the defender, as long as he "forces" his departure from Inter, a situation that directly depends on the player's will.
DETAILS OF THE OFFER SUBMITTED TO INTER
The offer from Mengão includes a total payment of 10 million euros (approximately R$62 million). However, the amount would be divided into two parts: 6 million euros in cash, 3 million of which paid in cash, and1.5 million in two installments scheduled for January and July 2026. In addition, Mais Querido undertakes to forgive a debt of 4 million euros related to the purchase of midfielder Thiago Maia.
ADJUSTMENT IN PAYMENT TERMS
For cash payment, the Flamengo still predicts a discount related to legal costs resulting from the delay in Inter's installments for the acquisition of Thiago Maia. The Rio club would therefore disburse “only” 6 million euros directly, betting on repaying the remainder with debt forgiveness.
Despite the interest shown by Flamengo, Internacional did not accept the proposed conditions. On the 19th, Colorado responded by requesting a full payment of 10 million euros, in addition to the forgiveness of 4 million euros related to midfielder Thiago Maia. With Inter's demand, Flamengo made it clear that it does not intend to modify its offer. The Rio club understands that the proposal presented is already within the financial limit considered viable for negotiation and awaits a possible movement of the player or a reevaluation by the Rio Grande do Sul club.
For the transfer to progress, a direct Vitão is considered essential. If the defender expresses to Internacional his desire to transfer to CRF, Flamengo believes that the scenario could change, forcing Colorado to reevaluate its stance towards the market. The inclusion of debt forgiveness by Thiago Maia is one of the central points of the proposal.Flamengo's strategy reduces the immediate financial impact, but depends on the alignment of all parties to be successful.
Teams face each other three times in eight days for the Libertadores and Brasileirão, and Mengão's goalkeeper highlights planning and focus on each game.

The sequence of duels between Rio de Janeiro and Rio Grande do Sul begins this Wednesday (13), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. Goalkeeper Rossi explained that Flamengo is prepared to deal with commitments in different competitions , highlighting the importance of remaining calm and focused at each stage.
" They are two different competitions, each competition has its own differences . We will always try to play to win. We know that there are 180 minutes in the Libertadores and, in the middle of that, we have the Brasileirão game," he said before concluding.
" We'll first prepare for the Libertadores game , then the Brasileirão game, and only then think about the Libertadores again. We have to stay calm," said the goalkeeper who was important in Flamengo's victory over Mirassol.
The first meeting will be on Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, for the Libertadores . On Sunday (17), the teams will face each other again for the Brasileirão, at 6:30 pm, at Beira-Rio Stadium.

After falling in the Copa do Brasil, both teams sought to regain confidence. Last Saturday (09), Mengão beat Mirassol 2-1 at Maracanã , securing the symbolic title of the first round of the Brasileirão. Internacional beat Bragantino 3-1 away from home, ending a four-game winless streak.

Flamengo beat Mirassol 2-1 last Saturday (09), in the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the final whistle, football director José Boto published a photo next to Pedro, in a gesture that attracted attention behind the scenes. The record was interpreted as a possible sign of reconciliation between the director and player, who were at the center of a recent controversy.
The episode that rocked the relationship came to light in July, when the press revealed a screenshot in which Boto expressed his intention to negotiate Pedro, provided a financially advantageous offer emerged. The disclosure of the conversation caused discomfort in the striker , who felt exposed and demotivated.
As a result, the number 9 showed a drop in performance in training and ended up being cut from two matches, against São Paulo and Santos. The situation sparked debate about the internal climate within the squad and the relationship between management and players.
Once the difficult period was over, Pedro returned to training and was once again a starter. In the match against Mirassol, he formed the attack alongside Samuel Lino and Gonzalo Plata . The player's presence alongside the manager in the post-match post suggests that the impasse may have been resolved internally.
With a full squad, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (13) to face Internacional, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The clash is valid for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.
Against Mirassol, the Nation once again filled the Maracanã and helped Mengão achieve an impressive feat in the 2025 season.
