Midfielder Lucas Paquetá, currently at West Ham, expressed interest in returning to Brazil, even if he is acquitted of the charges he faces. The information was released by journalist @simpraisa and generated repercussions in the football market. Despite Paquetá's wishes, sources close to the player indicate that an immediate return to Brazil should not happen. The negotiations come up against contractual issues and the high amount requested by the English club.
West Ham, who previously considered Paquetá an indispensable piece, no longer sees him as "non-negotiable". However, the London club wants significant financial compensation to release the athlete. Lucas Paquetá's legal situation is another factor that influences his stay in Europe. The trial of the case is scheduled for March 2025, and the outcome could completely change the player's future, both in the national and international markets.
CLUB AWAIT ENDING
Times around the world have been following the case cautiously. The uncertainty about Paquetá's situation prevents potential interested parties from moving forward in more concrete negotiations. Among the clubs interested in the player, Flamengo, where Paquetá began his professional career, closely follows the movements. The Rio club does not rule out the midfielder's possible return at some point.

In addition to Flamengo, Botafogo also showed recent interest in the player. Under the management of John Textor, the black and white club has been looking for big names to reinforce its squad and has not ruled out the possibility of negotiating with West Ham. Although Brazilian clubs are keeping an eye on Paquetá, teams from other leagues, such as Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer (MLS), are also analyzing the midfielder's situation, considering a possible move after the resolution of his case.< /p>
West Ham's high demand could be an obstacle for Brazilian clubs. Furthermore, Paquetá's desire to return to Brazil needs to be aligned with the financial conditions that allow for a viable negotiation. While the scenario remains undefined, Lucas Paquetá continues to play for West Ham and tries to maintain focus on the field. The outcome of the trial in 2025 will be decisive in determining the direction of your career, whether in Europe, Brazil or another market.

Flamengo continues to expand its high-performance structure . The club invested $1 million (approximately R$5.35 million) in new equipment for Ninho do Urubu , including two pieces of equipment that are the first of its kind in Latin America, manufactured by Keiser, a global leader in physical training solutions.
One of the highlights is the Keiser A300 Runner , designed to simulate the acceleration phase of running. Unlike traditional machines, which use iron weights, this model uses compressed air resistance , providing a smoother, jerk-free load, which reduces impact on joints during workouts.
Furthermore, the equipment allows for unilateral or bilateral training, helping to correct common muscular asymmetries in athletes. The integrated digital panel displays real-time data, such as applied load, power, and number of repetitions , allowing for more accurate analysis.
Another unique feature is the inertia-free technology, which prevents the weight from returning to the body at the end of the movement. This feature increases safety and reduces risks to muscles and joints, making the device useful for both explosive work and rehabilitation processes.
Flamengo coordinator on equipment: "These devices are the first in Latin America"
For Flamengo 's sports science coordinator, Cláudio Pavanelli, the investment places the club on a par with European football giants: "Some devices are specifically for athletes. They simulate the execution of a movement, a run, a sprint at high intensity. These devices are the first in Latin America. Only a few major European clubs have acquired this new technology ," he explained.
He continued: " The big difference is that you can analyze the application of force throughout the entire movement . At each joint level, you can identify exactly what is being performed, considering the applied overload and the speed of the movement." With the new investment, Flamengo reinforces its commitment to maintaining a level of physical excellence among its squad, combining performance and injury prevention.

With the FIFA International Day off over, Flamengo is finalizing the details for the resumption of the Brasileirão. And one of the team's key players, Arrascaeta, continues to rack up impressive numbers. Since 2019, the number 10 has been the player who needs the least amount of time on the pitch to score a goal in the national competition.
According to a survey by Sofascore , the Uruguayan averages a goal or assist every 99 minutes . In total, he played 151 Brasileirão matches during this period, with 109 direct goal contributions , a performance that puts him at the top of the list, ahead of big names like Gabigol, Pedro, and Luis Suárez.
Among the highlights, Luis Suárez also stands out, reaching second place on the list despite having played only 33 games in the Brasileirão , during his time at Grêmio, where he played for just one season, in 2023.
The number 10 is enjoying one of his best years for the red and black. So far, he has 17 goals and 13 assists, numbers that are close to his most productive season , in 2019, when he scored 18 times and provided 19 decisive passes.
With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo takes to the field next Sunday (14) against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship . The duel will be played at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.
The former striker is an idol for both teams and was asked who he would support in a potential clash between Mengão and the Italians.

An idol on and off the field, Adriano Imperador never hid his passion for Flamengo, the club he's loved since childhood. Even so, the former striker built a remarkable career at Inter Milan (ITA), where he gained international fame and earned the nickname "Emperor."
In an interview released by “Romário TV” last Thursday (11), Adriano once again highlighted his connection with Mengão. When asked by Romário who he would support in a match between Flamengo and Inter, the former player did not hesitate: “ Flamengo, always. No chance of another fan base .”
Adriano recently hosted a farewell match at the Maracanã stadium, bringing together former teammates from Flamengo and Inter . He played for each team for a period of time, in a celebration marked by emotion and the affection of the fans.
Despite his declared support for Flamengo, Adriano is deeply grateful to Inter. It was at the Italian club that he established himself as a global star , winning titles and notoriety, as well as earning the nickname that defined his football career.
A product of his youth development at Gávea, the striker has always maintained close ties with the red-and-black fans. His most memorable stint came in 2009, when he returned to the club and played a key role in the Brasileirão title , finishing the competition as the top scorer and idol of the nation.
With Adriano Imperador in the crowd, Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (14), against Juventude, for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão . The match will be played at 4 pm (Brasília time), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, with broadcast on Amazon Prime Video.
