In the first half of April, an internal transfer window will open. It will be possible to hire players who played in the state championships. Flamengo wants to take advantage of this to bring a midfielder into the ball market. According to information gathered by journalist Raisa Simplicio, next month, Rubro-Negro will look for another midfielder to reinforce Tite's squad.


This signing will be made due to some factors, such as , for example, the fact that Igor Jesus, who has been very pleasing, despite being very young and Allan has not yet established himself at the Club. But the main reason is because of the Chilean midfielder Pulgar. In addition to being absent from the team in the Copa América, in the middle of the year, he is also a player who takes cards and can be injured in some matches, according to Raisa.


This request would have come from Tite himself, evaluating your cast. He understands that another midfielder is needed to complete the Flamengo squad for 2024. Within the current CRF squad, Tite has the following midfield options: Pulgar, Allan, Igor Jesus, Gerson and Victor Hugo.< /p>


However, it is worth remembering that the Joker is out of playing condition due to a surgical process he underwent. He is currently recovering from surgery and Fla is still awaiting his return.

The Club understands that it needs another option for the sector. The search will be for a player who acts in different roles, that is, who can act as a first or second midfielder.


A detail that was brought up by Raisa Simplicio is that despite not yet having the name of who this next signing could be, he plays in Brazilian football. This is due to the fact that in this transfer window, which will open in April, it is mandatory that it be an internal negotiation, that is, in Brazilian football, since the athlete must have played in some State.
