Palmeiras has made progress in talks to sign Carlos Miguel, currently on his way out of Nottingham Forest, but the deal may take longer than expected. The reason is that the leaked negotiations changed the course of the latest negotiations , causing discomfort between the parties.
The situation is gaining momentum with the possibility of other clubs entering the competition. According to information from GoalBR, Flamengo and Bahia are evaluating the signing . In the case of the Rio de Janeiro club, the board has already expressed interest and is analyzing the feasibility of submitting a formal offer.
Standing at 6'4" and a standout performer in his respective competitions, former Corinthians player Carlos Miguel has become one of the most sought-after targets on the market . His profile appeals to clubs looking to bolster their defense with security and experience.
Enjoying a strong run in the Brasileirão and advancing in the Libertadores, Flamengo is already making moves behind the scenes to strengthen its squad. The board has prioritized the arrival of a new goalkeeper , especially given the confirmed departure of Matheus Cunha. The goalkeeper signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro and will leave the club free of charge at the end of the season.
Despite their confidence in Rossi, Flamengo's board knows they need at least one more high-level goalkeeper on the roster. This time, the team wants to tap the transfer market to replace the Argentine , who has made some mistakes in recent games.
After 19 rounds, the red-blacks and greens remain in a fierce battle for the title, while Cruzeiro appears as the third strong contender.

Favorites for the national title over the past eight years, Flamengo and Palmeiras finished the first round remaining among the competition's protagonists. Since 2018, only Atlético-MG (2021) and Botafogo (2024) have broken the dominance, which has seen the club win three times and the club win two times in that period.
In 2025, the competition remains intense: Flamengo leads with a 38.34% chance of winning the title , while Palmeiras is close behind with a 30.37% chance. It's worth remembering that the Rio de Janeiro team still has a match to play, and the São Paulo team has two games less than their regular schedule.
Cruzeiro, with 37 points and a 22.87% chance of winning the championship , has solidified its position as the leader's direct pursuer. Meanwhile, Raposa has already played all 19 matches of the first round and is coming off two home losses to Ceará and Santos.
In head-to-head matches, the Minas Gerais team stood out, defeating both the red-and-black team and Palmeiras at the Mineirão stadium . To remain in contention for the title, the club will need to repeat these victories in the second half, but this time playing away from home.
The league leader still has a postponed match against Sport, valid for the 12th round, which was rescheduled due to the team's participation in the Club World Cup . A victory in this match could extend the lead in the table and secure Flamengo 's sole lead.
The new striker for the black and white team signed until 2026 and is seen as an important reinforcement to give the attacking sector more options in the final stretch of the season.

Corinthians officially announced this Monday (11) the signing of striker Vitinho , a reinforcement that has already raised positive expectations at the club. Right-back Matheuzinho, Vitinho's former teammate at Flamengo , made a point of praising his new teammate.
"I'm very happy with Vitinho's arrival. He's a friend who we've had a lot of contact with back in the day. We have a very good connection, he plays more on my side . He's going to be very important for our group , because of his experience, his versatility up front, he can play on the right, in the middle, as a false nine. He's going to help our team a lot, and I hope he comes here to contribute and contribute, and that everything works out for him," said Matheuzinho after the match.
The duo played together between 2020 and 2022, during which time they won titles such as the Campeonato Carioca, the Supercopa do Brasil, the Brasileirão, and the Copa Libertadores . However, both were reserves during the red-and-black team's victorious period.
Vitinho signed a contract with the São Paulo club until December 31, 2026 , becoming the first official signing of this transfer window and the second of the year, alongside Fabrizio Angileri. His arrival is seen as strategic to bring more speed and tactical variation to the attack.
Vitinho joined Flamengo in 2018, where he participated in historic campaigns and won significant titles . Despite failing to shine, he left the club with nine titles under his belt.

Flamengo is keeping its focus on signing reinforcements for upcoming competitions, with a priority on a striker, a defender, and possibly a goalkeeper. Among the options evaluated by Filipe Luís's coaching staff was Julio Enciso, a young Paraguayan who can play in various attacking positions and can also play as a playmaker.
Before agreeing to a deal with Saúl and Samuel Lino, the board consulted Brighton, the English club that holds the player's rights, about the amount. However, the request of approximately 20 million euros (approximately R$125.8 million) caused the club to back down in the negotiations.
The 21-year-old striker, considered a promising prospect, has also become a target for Palmeiras . Internally, the name was discussed between coach Abel Ferreira and football director Anderson Barros, with the approval of president Leila Pereira.
Alviverde is willing to invest heavily in the signing, believing that Enciso could become one of the main players in the squad and in Brazilian football, if the deal is finalized.
Enciso has experience in European football and the versatility to play in different attacking positions. His potential arrival in Brazil, especially for a direct rival of Flamengo , adds an extra element to the title race this season.
