FLAMENGO COULD LOSE PULGAR AFTER NOT RESPONDING TO THE STEERING WHEEL RENEWAL PROPOSAL

Player waits for appreciation before evaluating offers; I want to resolve the situation before the Copa América

While recovering to return to Flamengo, Pulgar awaits the club's response regarding his contract renewal. The player's agents presented numbers after the last FIFA date, but the red-black board has not yet responded to the proposal, and believes it has time.

With a contract until the end of 2025, the Chilean has been gaining value since last year, especially after Tite's arrival, and businessman Fernando Felicevich signaled to Flamengo that some international surveys had already taken place. So far, the Rio club has guaranteed itself in the contract and ruled out the sale.

According to the player's staff, however, there is a real risk that the player will be traded until the beginning of next year if there is no appreciation. At the moment, although he is an absolute starter, Pulgar still has one of the lowest salaries among midfield athletes. Flamengo has prioritized renewing its base jewels, such as midfielder Igor Jesus, in the same position, and striker Werton.

Since Pulgar can sign a pre-contract with another club from the middle of the year Comes, the board will need to opt for renewal by the end of the year or a possible sale at the beginning of 2025, when there will be the last opportunity to make the low investment count and make a profit in the operation.

Currently, Allan , who cost much more than Pulgar (9 million euros against 2.8 million euros) and earns a much higher salary and is an immediate alternative if the Chilean is traded. Flamengo rules out negotiating Pulgar in the middle of the current year, despite there being harassment, and the agents' idea is to resolve the stay before the Copa América, when there should be appreciation.

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.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

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.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

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.
