Last Sunday, before the match against Atlético-MG for the Brazilian Championship, Flamengo presented its first reinforcements of this transfer window : midfielder Saúl and right-back Emerson Royal. Now, the Rio de Janeiro club plans to repeat the action in front of the fans this Thursday (31), again against Galo, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.
The next presentations at Maracanã, which is becoming the stage for the announcements of new reinforcements, should include striker Samuel Lino and midfielder Jorge Carrascal, as long as both are officially confirmed by the club in time for the match.
Acquired from Atlético de Madrid for €22 million (approximately R$143 million), Samuel Lino arrived in Rio de Janeiro early Tuesday afternoon. The player will undergo medical examinations and sign a contract with Mengão today , with an announcement expected in the coming hours.
Jorge Carrascal , who has been involved in lengthy negotiations with Dynamo Moscow for over two months, is expected in Rio de Janeiro this Wednesday. The board expects the Colombian midfielder to also undergo medical examinations and be announced as the fourth signing of this window.
If all stages are completed on time, Carrascal will join Lino at the presentation at Maracanã this Thursday. The formal presentations at Ninho do Urubu are expected to take place next week.

Midfielder Matheus Gonçalves, revealed by Flamengo , scored his first goal for Al Ahli this Monday (29), in the 2-2 draw against Al Duhail-CAT, for the Asian Champions League. The player, who started the match as a starter, played during the 90 minutes for the second consecutive game.
The goal came in the 42nd minute of the first half, with Al Duhail leading 1-0. From the right wing, Matheus cut onto his left foot and took a shot . The ball deflected off the opposing defense and ended up in the goalkeeper's corner, ensuring the equalizer.
After the young Brazilian's goal, Al Ahli turned the game around with former Manchester City player Riyad Mahrez. However, early in the second half, Piatek, a Polish striker with experience in European football, leveled the score again, making it 2-2.
Earlier, Edmilson Júnior had opened the scoring for the home side in the 25th minute of the first half . The result kept both teams in contention for qualification in the continental tournament.
Matheus Gonçalves started the season in Flamengo 's first team, but failed to make the cut due to stiff competition for his position. He played 15 games and scored two goals for the senior team. Seeking more playing time, he requested a return to the U-20s , where he was part of the victorious Intercontinental Cup campaign against Barcelona of Spain.

Flamengo already knows who will be in charge of the whistle in the decisive match against Cruzeiro , next Thursday (October 1st), for the 26th round of the 2025 Brazilian Championship. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed that 36-year-old Santa Catarina native Ramon Abatti Abel will be the referee of the match . The assistants and the VAR team are yet to be announced by the entity.
Ramon Abatti Abel has played 20 matches in national tournaments this season. In 2025, he refereed five Flamengo matches and only one Cruzeiro match. Interestingly, both Flamengo and Raposa have won all their matches under the referee's direction.
The only Cruzeiro match refereed by Ramon this year was the 2-0 victory over Atlético-MG on August 27, in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, at Arena MRV. Flamengo beat Botafogo 3-1 in the Supercopa do Brasil on February 2 , at Mangueirão, in Belém, also refereed by the Santa Catarina native.
Coach Filipe Luís spoke about the importance of the match against Cruzeiro and emphasized that, despite the decisive nature of the match, the points are worth the same as in any other round. " Now we have a direct rival in the next game, which is Cruzeiro, and these are three very important points , just like today. This championship is very difficult," he stated.
He recalled the criticism he received after the draw with Vasco, emphasizing the tournament's unpredictability. " We drew with Vasco last week, and everyone said Flamengo was awful. But today Vasco beat Cruzeiro, who are fighting for the title. These things show how competitive the championship is," he said after the game against Corinthians .
