News that recently circulated on social media was confirmed by Turkish colleagues, @Salimmanav and Julio Miguel Neto, Bahia emerged as the most interested in striker Tetê, currently at Galatasaray-TUR. Surprisingly, the player accepted the idea of defending the Bahian tricolor, fueling the fans' expectations.
Flamengo, known for its investments in the market, was widely speculated as a possible destination for the striker. However, the information that reaches me indicates that, to date, the Rio club has not shown interest, has not made a proposal and has not even consulted for the athlete. This news may surprise Flamengo fans, but it is important to clarify the facts.
BAHIA'S INTEREST: TETÊ WITH AN EYE ON TERRA DO AXÉ
While Flamengo remains distant, Bahia is excited about the possibility of having Tetê in his squad. The striker, managed by businessman Pablo Bueno, seems receptive to the idea of landing in the land of axé and wearing the tricolor shirt. This mutual interest between the player and the Bahian club can result in a negotiation that is advantageous for both parties.
The tricolor fans, always fervent, are already dreaming of Tetê's skillful dribbling and decisive goals, adding an extra dose entertainment to the stands. Meanwhile, Flamengo remains discreet, without entering into the competition for the striker who promises to shake up the sporting scene.
FLAMENGO'S VERSION: NO TETÊ FOR NOW
Contrary to expectations , Flamengo, so far, has not shown interest in having Tetê in its squad. The rumors that circulated on social media, fueling the hope of the red and black, are not supported by the actions of the Rio club. No proposal has been made, and no consultation has been carried out to date.
Flamengo's more cautious stance could leave fans curious, questioning whether the club was missing the chance to have a strong reinforcement in your line of attack. However, the fact is that, for now, Tetê seems closer to Bahia than to Flamengo.
CONCLUSION: TETÊ AND THE FLAMENGO MYSTERY
Amid speculation and market upheavals of the ball, Tetê stands out as a sought-after player. While Bahia is excited about the possibility of having him in its ranks, Flamengo maintains a strategic silence, without confirming any interest. Fans are left to wait for the developments in this story, hoping to find out what the outcome will be for Tetê. Bahia dreams of strengthening its weight, while Flamengo maintains the mystery, leaving fans anxious for any movement behind the scenes in the football market.
The goalkeeper doesn't deny that reaching the current world champion is a goal, but says it's necessary to keep his head in his work at Mengão

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.
Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"
"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.
The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.
"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.
Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.

Back in Brazilian football, Neymar still divides opinions about his future at Santos . During a debate on ESPN Brasil, former player Zinho compared the Santos number 10 to Flamengo's Arrascaeta , which sparked disagreement from Zé Elias. The former Mengão player stated that the Uruguayan wouldn't be able to perform at the São Paulo club.
Zé Elias praises Flamengo's Arrascaeta in comparison to Neymar: "He works hard, he's a leader"
Zé Elias then responded, highlighting the difference in attitude between the two athletes: "But he won't be in the same position as Neymar, Zinho! He'll be much more involved in the game, he'll be a role model ... Neymar doesn't help. Neymar loses the ball and just watches. Arrascaeta doesn't do that. He works hard, he's a leader," he stated.
While Neymar is still looking for consistency, Arrascaeta continues to be one of Flamengo 's biggest stars in 2025. In addition to assists and creative plays, the Uruguayan has also taken on a leading role as a goalscorer.
Currently, the number 10 is Flamengo 's top scorer in the Brasileirão, with 13 goals. Last Sunday (14), he even scored one of the goals in the 2-0 victory over Juventude , in Caxias do Sul, which ended a 28-year drought.
With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (18), for the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals, against Estudiantes (ARG). The match will be at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã , with broadcast by ESPN (closed TV) and Disney+ (streaming).
