Flamengo's board of directors, under the coordination of José Boto, has already reached an agreement with Barco regarding his salary. Negotiations with the Argentine player have progressed in recent days, and the midfielder has shown himself willing to play for the Rio de Janeiro club. Now, the only thing left to do is to release him from Spartak Moscow, which depends on an official offer.
Flamengo is at a crucial point. The club does not intend to make any kind of offer before trimming the squad. The idea is to make room in the attacking sector, both technically and financially. According to information from journalist Julio Miguel Neto, the official progress of negotiations for Barco is conditional on the departure of four players who currently have little space with Filipe Luís: Michael, Everton Cebolinha, Matheus Gonçalves and Lorran.
The board believes that, with the release of this group, there will be space on the payroll and in the coach's plans to invest in Barco. Neither of them has been used frequently, which reinforces the expectation of a conclusion in the coming weeks. Michael is in advanced negotiations with Al-Duhail, from Qatar. The player was even mentioned as an alternative to the injured Everton Cebolinha, but internally Flamengo understands that his cycle is close to the end.
The move to the Middle East should be finalized in the next few days, which would represent one of the four players that need to leave for the Barco deal to take shape. Another name close to leaving the club is Matheus Gonçalves. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder is a target for Grêmio, which is negotiating his arrival on loan until the end of the season. Still without a place in the main team, the player is seen as an option to gain experience in Porto Alegre.
Flamengo welcomes the move, especially if the Rio Grande do Sul club takes on part of the player's salary. Despite having been a starter at important moments, Everton Cebolinha has lost his place under Filipe Luís and, behind the scenes, there are already moves to leave him. Without a formal offer yet, the forward is on the radar of clubs in the United Arab Emirates and Major League Soccer (MLS).

Argentine goalkeeper Agustín Rossi , who has played for Flamengo since 2023, is in the process of obtaining Brazilian citizenship, raising the possibility of playing for the Brazilian national team in the future. The situation raises questions about the player's eligibility and FIFA's rules for changing nationality.
If Rossi obtains naturalization, he would be eligible to represent Brazil under current sports legislation. The player has not yet played any official matches for the Argentine national team, which would prevent him from making the switch.
In 2020, FIFA relaxed its rules for changing nationality, allowing athletes to play for national teams other than their home country, provided they meet certain criteria. A player can represent another country if, before the age of 21, he or she has played in a maximum of three official matches for the senior national team and has not competed in a World Cup.
Rossi was named in Argentina's official match against Bolivia in a 2022 World Cup qualifier in September 2021, but did not take the field. According to FIFA's governance and eligibility rules:
The striker once again showed his rapport and friendship with his former teammates at Mengão, but the fans were on his back during the match.
