The Flamengo decided not to look for a new signing to replace striker Pedro, who is out of action due to injury. After a period of analysis and considerations, the board decided not to make any moves in the market and will continue with the players available in the squad until the end of the 2024 season.
Initially, the club studied the possibility of bringing in a new striker to fill the gap left by Pedro. However, after evaluating some options on the market, the board concluded that no name proved viable, both from a technical and financial point of view. Therefore, the decision was not to move forward with the negotiations and to bet on the alternatives that are already available to coach Tite.
Among the players that Tite considers capable of making up for Pedro's absence, Bruno Henrique stands out. , Gabigol and Carlinhos. All of them are already part of Flamengo's squad and are being seen by the coach as viable options to form the team's attack in the ongoing competitions. Bruno Henrique, one of Flamengo's main names in recent seasons, has experience and ability to play as a centralized striker, although his performance is more notable when playing on the sides of the field.

He has already demonstrated that he can be a key player in the red-black attack, especially in moments of decision. His versatility and ability to score goals place Bruno Henrique as one of the most obvious options to replace Pedro. Gabigol, which is a One of the team's stars, he can also play the role of center forward. Although he has become accustomed to playing in a more mobile role, moving along the wings and retreating to get the ball, he has already been used as a reference in attack on other occasions.
Tite trusts in Gabigol's ability to occupy this position, mainly due to his experience and eye for goal. However, his preference for a freer performance can bring challenges in fully adapting to the role of fixed center forward. Carlinhos, a younger and less tested option, is seen as a bet for the future.
The striker, coming from the youth teams, has not yet had many opportunities in the first team, but his presence among the options considered by Tite shows that the coach is willing to give chances to younger players. Carlinhos, although he still doesn't have the same baggage as the others, can gain space and confidence as the season progresses, if it becomes necessary to use him more frequently.
Imperador had a good time in Italy, but he doesn't hide that the decision to leave Mengão was a wrong one on his part.
