João Félix's name continues to circulate in the corridors of Ninho do Urubu. The attacking midfielder, who is currently on loan at Milan, is considered the main reinforcement desired by the red-black board for the next window . The idea is to reinforce the midfield and give more breathing room to Arrascaeta, with whom he would share functions.
Flamengo has already contacted Félix's representatives. However, there has been no response from the team so far. Without this initial response, the club has not yet moved forward with negotiations with Chelsea, which owns the player's economic rights until 2031. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, from SBT Rio, football director José Boto is still waiting for a position from the player or his agents. Only after this will Flamengo decide whether to open talks directly with the English club.
The lack of response, for now, has not completely discouraged the directors. There is an understanding that the process involves several layers, and that Félix also needs to understand his future after the end of his loan with Milan — which expires at the end of the European season. João Félix and coach Sérgio Conceição, with whom he had a turbulent relationship, will not continue at the Italian club. The tendency is for the Portuguese to return to Chelsea, which has not yet defined its plans for the player from the middle of the year.
Despite Flamengo 's clear interest, the deal is being handled with caution internally. The main obstacle is "salary". Félix's current salary is out of line with the reality of Brazilian football and, to play in Brazil, he would have to accept a significant reduction. This point is seen as crucial for any progress in the talks. The board understands that the club's sporting project and competitive environment may be important, but without any indication from the player on the salary issue, any negotiations are likely to be stalled from the start.
Today, the Portuguese player has a market in Europe and, although he is not at his peak technical level, he still attracts interest from medium and large clubs on the continent. This factor also plays into the equation for the red-and-black team, which is not willing to enter an auction for any player, even though he is a priority. Internally, João Félix is seen as a player capable of further improving the team led by Filipe. The coach values players with good passing skills, tactical reading and decision-making ability in the final third. These are characteristics that the Portuguese player has - even if his recent trajectory has been inconsistent.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti announced this Wednesday (1st) the call-up of the Brazilian National Team for the friendlies against South Korea and Japan, which will be played in October during the FIFA World Cup. The matches will take place in Seoul and Tokyo, beginning the team's preparation for the 2026 World Cup , scheduled for June next year.
Despite not including any current Flamengo players, the list of 26 names released by Ancelotti includes four athletes who have played for the Rio de Janeiro club: Vini Jr (Real Madrid), Wesley (Roma), Fabrício Bruno (Cruzeiro) and Hugo Souza (Corinthians) . All of them stand out in their teams and earned the opportunity to join the green and yellow group.
Among the main highlights of the list are the returns of Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr., both from Real Madrid, who are once again important players in the national team's attack. Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, however, was sidelined due to an injury suffered in the English club's last game.
According to Ancelotti, the call-up prioritized players who play in European football , considering the logistics of traveling to Asia and the time difference. Still, two players who play in the Brazilian Championship were called up: Hugo Souza of Corinthians and Fabrício Bruno of Cruzeiro.
Goalkeepers: Bento (Al Nassr), Ederson (Fenerbahçe), Hugo Souza ( Corinthians )
Defenders: Caio Henrique (Monaco), Carlos Augusto (Inter Milan), Douglas Santos (Zenit), Eder Militão (Real Madrid), Fabricio Bruno (Cruzeiro), Gabriel Magalhães (Arsenal), Lucas Beraldo (PSG), Vanderson (Monaco), Wesley (Roma)

Facing Flamengo away from home has been a tough challenge for Cruzeiro in the Brasileirão . The last time the Minas Gerais team beat Flamengo in Rio de Janeiro in the national competition was in November 2010, almost 15 years ago.
Since then, the teams have faced each other 11 times at Maracanã (or in matches hosted by Flamengo ) in the tournament, and the record is largely favorable to the Mais Querido: eight wins and three draws. During this period, historic defeats stand out, such as the 5-1 victory in 2011 , as well as important triumphs for the red-and-blacks' campaigns. The most recent was a 2-1 victory in June 2024.
This Thursday (02), Flamengo and Cruzeiro face each other again in a direct confrontation for the Brazilian title . Rubro-Negro leads the table with 54 points, while the Minas Gerais team, with one more game, appears right behind, with 50. The ball rolls at Maracanã at 8:30 pm (Brasília time).
