Lucas Paquetá has expressed interest in returning to Flamengo as he faces accusations of possible sports manipulation. The player communicated his desire to Mais Querido, and the club's directors are awaiting a conversation between Paquetá and West Ham to advance negotiations.
Initially, Flamengomade an offer of 15 million euros (around R$80 million) for Lucas Paquetá. However, West Ham rejected the proposal immediately. Rubro-Negro, however, remains interested in the player and believes that the only way to complete the transfer is to convince the English club to negotiate. The Flamengo board eagerly awaits the conversation between the player and West Ham directors.
Another player in Flamengo's sights is Claudinho, who agreed to sign with the Rio club for five years. However, negotiations with Zenit, from Russia, are complicated. Initially, the Russian club accepted the payment terms proposed by Flamengo.
Subsequently, they changed their mind and now demand that the amount be paid in three installments, something that Flamengo does not agree with. The midfielder scheduled a meeting with Zenit directors to reiterate his desire to transfer to Mais Querido, in the hope of unlocking negotiations.
Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, decided to trade striker Michael in the middle of the year to free up space and enroll Neymar in the national championships. The Arab club is awaiting proposals for the player's transfer.
Flamengo continues working to reinforce its squad and awaits the outcome of negotiations with Lucas Paquetá, Claudinho and Michael. The board hopes to be able to close favorable agreements that will strengthen the team for the next competitions.

Flamengo complicated its situation in the Copa Libertadores after being defeated 1-0 by Peñarol, on Thursday night- fair (19), at Maracanã. With the result, Mais Querido leaves at a disadvantage in the quarter-finals and will need to look for a turnaround in the return game, which will be played in Uruguay. Even with the setback, midfielder Gerson believes that the team is capable of reversing the situation and reaching the classification.
After the match, Gerson regretted the result in front of the more than 64 thousand fans present at the stadium, but reinforced confidence in a possible reaction in the return game. "It's always bad to lose, but it's not over yet. We have another 90 minutes in Uruguay to try to turn this situation around. Let's work and maintain a strong mentality. Nothing has been decided yet", said the player.
Peñarol's goal was scored in the first half, and the Uruguayan team managed to hold on to the result until the final whistle. Despite some good chances, such as Plata's shot, which hit the post, and a header from Bruno Henrique that forced goalkeeper Aguerre to make a great save, CRF were unable to find the net.
Now, to guarantee a place in the semi-finals, Rubro-Negro will need to beat Peñarol by two goals in the back. The decisive clash will take place next Thursday (26), at 7pm, at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium, in Montevideo. A simple victory takes the dispute to penalties, while any other result favorable to the Uruguayan team would eliminate the Most Wanted from the competition.

On Thursday night (19), Flamengo hosted Peñarol at Maracanã for the first leg of the quarter-finals of the Copa Libertadores da América and came out with an unfavorable result. In front of more than 64 thousand fans, the team led by Tite had several opportunities, but failed to score.
The Uruguayan team took advantage of one of the few chances and, with a goal from Cabrera, secured a 1-0 victory. Now, Mengão will need to reverse the deficit in the second leg, scheduled for next Thursday- fair (26), in Montevideo.
This Thursday's defeat puts the Rio team in a delicate situation. To guarantee qualification to the semi-finals, Mais Querido will need to win by two goals at the Campeón del Siglo Stadium. A simple victory will take the decision to penalties, while any other score guarantees Peñarol's place. The result was even more painful for the club, as Flamengo has not lost at Maracanã in Libertadores competitions since 2019, also to Peñarol.
The return game is full of expectations, mainly due to the historic rivalry between the two teams in the South American competition. The winner of this duel will face, in the semifinals, the winner of the clash between Botafogo and São Paulo. On the other side of the bracket, there are River Plate (Argentina), Colo-Colo (Chile), Fluminense and Atlético-MG, which makes the path to the final even more competitive.
FLAMENGO AND PEÑAROL RETURN TO THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Before the decisive match for the Libertadores, both teams have commitments for their national leagues. CRF travels to Porto Alegre to face Grêmio, next Sunday (22), at 6:30 pm, for the Brazilian Championship. Peñarol faces Cerro, also on Sunday, at 7pm, away from home, in the Clausura of the Uruguayan Championship.
The club has a more advantageous deal than the squad

Flamengo was about to close an agreement with Zenit to sign Claudinho, but negotiations did not progress as expected. The Russian club made negotiations difficult, demanding high amounts and prolonging the talks until the end of the transfer window. This situation almost compromised Flamengo's planning for the remainder of the season, especially during the month of August, when the squad needed to be complete to face the challenges of the ongoing competitions.
Despite this setback, Flamengo's management Flamengo managed to overcome the situation efficiently. Instead of insisting on negotiating with Zenit, the club redirected its focus and brought in a player 5 years younger than Claudinho, for a similar amount to what would be paid to the Russian club. This change in strategy ended up proving beneficial for Flamengo, who not only saved money in terms of the player's age and growth potential, but also guaranteed a signing that, in the end, could be more advantageous in the long term.
FLAMENGO HAS A NEW DIRECTION IN NEGOTIATIONS
Although the delay in the transfer window generated concern and almost compromised the team's performance in August, the board managed to reverse the situation in time. The new reinforcement arrives with great expectations and can contribute significantly to the team, especially considering his age and potential.
The experience serves as a learning experience for the Flamengo in future negotiations, showing that insisting on an option is not always the best strategy, and that being prepared for alternatives can bring even better results. In short, Flamengo knew how to transform a complicated situation into an opportunity. Instead of focusing on the difficulties imposed by Zenit, the board acted quickly and found a solution that, apparently, could be even more advantageous for the club in the medium and long term.
