With the transfer window closing this Monday, Flamengo is racing against time to secure another reinforcement in your cast. The target this time is the young striker Deivid Washington, 19 years old, currently linked to Chelsea, in England. The initial information was released by Coluna do Fla and confirmed by GE.
NEGOTIATION WITH CHELSEA AND INTERNAL CHALLENGES
Flamengo is trying to loan the player, who, since his arrival in Europe, has not been used much by the English club. Deivid Washington has played in just three matches for Chelsea and has not played since April. During his time at the Blues' academy, he played 17 games and scored ten goals. Last Sunday, the attacker gave indications of a possible return to Brazil by publishing an image on his social networks on his way to the country.
Despite the negotiations, Flamengo recognizes the difficulty of negotiating, especially due to the short available deadline. Deivid Washington, who was revealed by Santos, had already aroused the interest of Rubro-Negro previously, before being sold to Chelsea for 15 million euros in August last year.
TARGET OF CLUBS EUROPEANS, DEIVID WASHINGTON COULD BE REINFORCEMENT IN BRAZIL
The striker was not included in the list of players listed for Chelsea's pre-season. The London club was willing to negotiate the young talent, and he was very close to being transferred to Strasbourg for 21 million euros. However, the negotiation did not progress, and now Flamengo appears as a viable alternative.
For Santos, Deivid Washington made 16 appearances and scored two goals, which was enough to attract the attention of several European clubs, including Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Monaco. Now, it remains to be seen whether Flamengo will be able to complete the signing before the window closes.
The midfielder is already in Rio de Janeiro, has undergone medical examinations and even signed his contract with Mengão, but his signing cannot be made official.

Flamengo is very close to officially signing Jorge Carrascal . The deal with the Colombian midfielder is already finalized, but the announcement is pending the arrival of the final document signed by Dynamo Moscow , the club that holds the player's rights.
Carrascal was even at Maracanã last Thursday (31), during the match against Atlético-MG for the Copa do Brasil, but has not yet been officially presented. The reason is precisely the bureaucratic issue with the Russian club . The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande, who found that Flamengo expects to receive the final document this Friday (1).
The player is already in Rio de Janeiro, where he underwent routine medical examinations . Agreements have been reached with both Carrascal and Dynamo Moscow—all that remains is to formalize the transfer. The time difference with Russia is hindering the resolution of the situation.
Flamengo will pay 12 million euros (around R$77.5 million) to acquire the Colombian, who has been called by some fans the "Colombian Neymar" due to his technical and dribbling style.
Negotiations with Dynamo have been dragging on for weeks. Carrascal even wanted to be registered to play in the Club World Cup with Flamengo , as negotiations were already advanced. However, the Russian club resisted releasing the player quickly, which delayed the deal. Now, the only remaining step is Dynamo's final signature.
Last season, Carrascal made 35 appearances for Dynamo Moscow, scoring eight goals and providing three assists . The 26-year-old also played for Millonarios (Colombia), Karpaty (Ukraine), River Plate (Argentina), and CSKA Moscow.
While finalizing the signing, Flamengo is preparing to face Ceará this Sunday (3), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão , for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast on SporTV (closed TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
Striker is the target of an investigation for allegedly manipulating sports betting results in a Mengão game to help family members

The Prosecutor's Office of the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) has formally charged Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique with involvement in a match-fixing scheme. The player is accused of deliberately forcing himself to receive a yellow card in the Brazilian Championship match against Santos on November 1, 2023, in order to favor bets made by his brother. If convicted, the player could face a suspension of up to two years.
The complaint, based on a Federal Police investigation, places the player under two articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD):
Complaint against Bruno Henrique, from Flamengo: "intentionally caused his third yellow card"
According to a report by UOL journalist Rodrigo Mattos, the complaint is based on evidence gathered in the criminal court. Among the main elements are WhatsApp conversations between Bruno Henrique and his brother, Wander Nunes Pinto Junior, in which the player allegedly anticipated his intention to receive a yellow card —information used by Wander to place bets.
“The materiality and authorship are evidenced by all the records of conversations in messaging applications extracted from the police investigation (...) and by the dynamics of the game itself that took place on 11/1/2023, in which the player, in stoppage time, intentionally provoked his third yellow card”, states the complaint.
The prosecution also considers that there was an economic advantage, even if indirect: “ The offense was committed through the promise of an economic advantage — even if not directly for the athlete, but for the benefit of his brother and network of contacts.”
In addition to Bruno Henrique , his brother and three others were also charged: Claudinei Vitor Mosquete Bassan, Andryl Reis, and Douglas Barcelos. All are accused of benefiting from insider information to place bets . The group was charged under Article 242 of the CBJD, which deals with offering an advantage to influence the outcome. In this case, the penalty could include a fine or even a ban from the sport.
The complaint will still be reviewed by the first instance of the Superior Court of Justice (STJD), which will decide whether to take the case to trial. A date has not been set for the hearing. Meanwhile, the case is also being heard in the ordinary courts: Bruno Henrique is already a defendant following a complaint filed by the Federal District Public Prosecutor's Office . The player's defense denies the accusations and has already tried—unsuccessfully—to have the case annulled in higher courts.

Flamengo was defeated by Atlético-MG 1-0 on Thursday night (1), at Maracanã, in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The result forces the Rio de Janeiro club to seek qualification away from home, at Arena MRV. To advance directly, the team needs to win by at least two goals. If they achieve a simple victory, the spot will be decided on penalties. A draw favors Galo.
During the post-match press conference, coach Filipe Luís commented on the decision to maintain the starting defensive formation against the Minas Gerais opponent. He said the decision was made considering the complexity of the match and the physical strain on the players.
"I think defense is a delicate area. I don't like to change the back line; I try to change it as little as possible. Considering the wear and tear you mentioned, there's also the opponent. They're a team that causes us a lot of problems in the back line," said the Flamengo coach.
Filipe Luís also mentioned the defensive risks Atlético-MG's attack posed, highlighting the offensive prowess of players like Hulk, Rony, and Cuello . The decision to preserve the squad's young defenders was precisely due to this scenario.
Filipe Luís talks about Flamengo's youth defenders: "It wouldn't be fair to the kids"
" I didn't think it would be fair to the boys to play this game. I believe that always playing in defense is a more delicate situation, and the attack with Hulk, Rony, and Cuello would create difficulties for our back line. That's why I chose to keep them. But, if we need them against Ceará, or even in the second leg, I know we have João and Cleiton," added the coach.
Before the reunion with Atlético-MG, Flamengo returns to the field for the Brazilian Championship this Sunday (03). The match will be against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, in Fortaleza, valid for the 18th round of the competition. The match will be broadcast live on the Premiere channel.
