FLAMENGO DOESN'T GIVE UP ON DANILO, BUT LOOKS AT THE MARKET WITH "AFFECTION" - UNDERSTAND WHY
However, the completion of this contract still depends on several factors

0
According to Matheus Leal, amid the search for reinforcements for the season, Flamengo already has a plan B defined for the right-back in case they are unable to close with Danilo, from Juventus. The red-and-black board has its eye on Portuguese Cédric Soares, who recently left Arsenal and is free on the market.
The possibility of bringing Danilo to the squad is still being considered by the club, but negotiations with Juventus have proven challenging. The Brazilian full-back, who stood out during his time at Manchester City and currently plays for the Italian team, is a major signing that would certainly strengthen Mengão's squad. However, competition for your pass and financial demands can complicate the closing of the deal.
FLAMENGO HAS A NEW INVESTMENT IF DANILO DOESN'T COME
In this scenario, the most viable alternative seems be Cédric Soares. The 32-year-old has extensive experience in European football, having played for clubs such as Southampton and Arsenal, as well as playing for the Portuguese national team. Soares is known for his defensive ability and ability to support the attack, characteristics that fit well with the profile sought by Flamengo to the right-back.
< Cédric Soares began his professional career at Sporting, in Portugal, where he quickly stood out and caught the attention of foreign clubs. In 2015, he was signed by Southampton, in England, where he remained for five seasons. During his time in the Premier League, Cédric established himself as a consistent full-back, contributing both in defense and attack.

5 points about Michael's negotiation: Flamengo only accepts a definitive sale
The player is on the radar of foreign clubs, but his departure depends on one clear condition: he will only be released in the event of a definitive offer.

In recent days, a Middle Eastern team approached Flamengo with the intention of loaning Michael , but the Rio de Janeiro club's response was blunt: no . The proposal was rejected by president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as BAP, who ruled out any possibility of releasing the striker on loan.
According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Flamengo "is only willing to do business if there are definitive offers." The board believes the striker still has a market and will only leave Ninho do Urubu if concrete financial compensation is received.
THE PLAYER ASKED FOR THE MOST LOVED ONE TO LEAVE
Michael, nicknamed "Little Robot" by the fans, has expressed his desire to leave. With limited space under Filipe Luís, the striker was not included in the squad for the last match against Santos and remained in Rio to treat ankle pain. Internally, he has already informed the coaching staff that he prefers to seek new surroundings.
FUTURE PROBLEMS
Despite this, Flamengo is being cautious. Michael's contract runs until 2028 and he earns one of the highest salaries in the squad, which limits his options on the market. One of the clubs monitoring the situation is Qatar's Al-Duhail, but no official offer has been submitted yet. The board is treating the situation cautiously. Although the player is considered negotiable, there is no rush to sell him.
Flamengo understands that Michael could be useful throughout the season if no advantageous offers emerge. Therefore, the refusal to loan him is strategic. The ideal scenario for Flamengo is to find a permanent buyer during this window, which would generate revenue and free up space on the payroll. However, with the Asian market still buoyant, the club has not ruled out further inquiries in the coming days.
Another name under the spotlight is Pedro . The number 9 is not having the best time at the club and was left out of the match against Santos after public criticism from coach Filipe Luís. His situation is seen as delicate . Palmeiras was even mentioned as interested, but ruled out any approach due to the game limit in the Brasileirão. Even so, negotiations with foreign clubs are still possible this window.

Flamengo sued Leixões, of Portugal, at FIFA over a debt related to the transfer of striker Werton. In July 2024, the red-and-black club sold 70% of the player's rights for €1 million (R$5.8 million at the then exchange rate).
The club filed a complaint with FIFA's Player Status Resolution Chamber. Leixões was supposed to pay the first installment, €175,000 (R$1.1 million), in November 2024. Flamengo demanded payment from the Portuguese club in January but has not received the amount.
The last charge was on January 14, 2025, when Flamengo gave Leixões 48 hours to pay the adjusted amount - 196,700 euros (R$1.2 million). The Portuguese team once again failed to comply with the agreement, and Flamengo went to FIFA to collect the debt, including fines, interest, and monetary correction.
FIFA HAS GIVEN ITS VERDICT AND PUNISHED THE PORTUGUESE CLUB
On Tuesday afternoon, Flamengo issued a statement on its official website , informing that FIFA had punished Leixões with a well-deserved transfer ban . This means that the Portuguese club will not be able to register new players.
FOLLOW THE NOTE
"Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that Leixões SC, from Portugal, was punished by FIFA with a Transfer Ban due to a debt with the Rio de Janeiro club, regarding the transfer of the athlete Werton. The decision of the highest entity of world football recognized Flamengo's request. Leixões will be prevented from registering new players for up to three transfer windows, or until the amount of 175 thousand euros is paid to the red-black club. The sanction comes into effect from this Tuesday (15)."
WERTON AT FLAMENGO
A highly successful player in Flamengo's youth academy, he was a gem of the club's nest. Werton made his professional debut for Flamengo in 2021, but never received many opportunities. He left the club with one goal in 12 games.
