Only in the first window of 2024 did Flamengo bring Nicolas De La Cruz from River Plate, Matias Viña from Roma and Léo Ortiz from Red Bull Bragantino. Three weight reinforcements. At least on paper. Of the three reinforcements that arrived in 2024, only Nico managed to establish himself among the starters. Léo Ortiz has been systematically overlooked by coach Tite, who prioritizes David Luiz and Matias Viña, who despite making some good performances, has not yet surpassed Ayrton Lucas, who continues to own Flamengo's left flank.
One of the weaknesses detected by coach Tite it is the red and black right side. With Varela and Wesley as options for the side and Luiz Araújo and Gerson as options for the right wing, Tite wants replacement parts to stop having his most vulnerable side on his right side. The midfield is another concern for the coach. With only De La Cruz as a player who can box-to-box, Tite has already asked Flamengo to replace the sector.
With the poor performance of Gabigol and Carlinhos, Flamengo's attack is also being the subject of consideration for the club to strengthen itself in this window. And in this sector, the red-and-black directors recently probed Roberto Firmino, a former Liverpool striker, currently at Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia.
However, the 32-year-old player doesn't get along very well with the current red-black coach and considers the relationship they both had in the Brazilian team as disappointing due to the cut he suffered before going to the 2022 World Cup. The player even reported this disappointment in an autobiographical book he released in November 2023.
Another player that the red and black board is trying is Oscar. Currently a player for Shanghai Port in China, with a contract until the end of November this year. At 32 years old and with excellent numbers in the Chinese Super League, Flamengo is trying to convince the Chinese to release the athlete in this mid-year window.
So far the Chinese have shown themselves to be irreducible and the only way out for the Flamengo will offer financial compensation to release Oscar in time for him to be registered by the club in 2024. Despite coach Tite's wish being expressed to the red and black board since he arrived at the club, Tête was recently approached by Palmeiras, who managed to seduce the right winger with a proposal to return to Brazilian football.
However, Flamengo did not give up and has already contacted the player's staff, who informed club directors that he has not yet signed a deal with the Alvi-Verde team. . As a result, Flamengo has already contacted Galatasaray to understand the athlete's situation and begin negotiations for a possible signing.
Despite not having moved on negotiations yet, Flamengo still has players like Michael and Claudinho. Negotiations involving these players will depend on the success or not of the names most desired by coach Tite. The fact is that Rodolfo Landim knows that he needs a turnaround this season so that his management is not remembered for the recent failures in 2023 and is going all out in the football market to reinforce the red and black team.

In the first leg, played at Maracanã, Galo won 1-0, which guarantees them the advantage of playing for a draw . Meanwhile, the Rio de Janeiro Red-Black team needs a simple victory to take the decision to penalties or win by two goals to guarantee direct qualification.
Psychic Luiz Filho, known for his channel Renascer das Cartas, shared his spiritual predictions for the clash between the Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro teams. According to him, the cards reveal a balanced outlook, but slightly favorable to the home team . " Atlético-MG came with the High Priestess card. This indicates a good understanding of the game and strategic preparation. The club will know how to capitalize on the result and turn it into an advantage," said the psychic.
For the Mais Querido side , the reading was less comfortable : " Flamengo also has a difficult card, which is the "Hanged Man" card, of resilience. They'll need to use their creative side. I see a lot of balance; Atlético-MG will have a good start. Flamengo may struggle, but they'll have a lethal outcome. However, I see more possibilities for Atlético-MG."

Atlético-MG and Flamengo face off this Wednesday (6) in a decisive duel for the round of 16 of the 2025 Copa do Brasil. The match takes place at 7 pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte , and will be broadcast live on Sportv and Premiere.
In the first leg, played at Maracanã, the Minas Gerais team won 1-0 and now has the advantage of a draw to secure qualification for the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Rubro-Negro , coached by Filipe Luís, needs a simple one-goal victory to take the final to penalties. A win by two or more goals will advance directly to the next stage of the tournament.
Atlético is in good form. Cuca's team has won its last two matches. First, it beat Flamengo 1-0 in the first leg of the round of 16, despite playing away from home. Last weekend, in a Brazilian Championship match, the Minas Gerais team dominated Red Bull Bragantino and emerged with a 2-1 victory.
On the red-and-black side, coach Filipe Luís will have to deal with important absences. Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo are not on the roster due to workload constraints, a result of the season's backlog of matches. Flamengo 's mission will be to win with authority away from home to maintain its chance of winning another Copa do Brasil title. The club has won the title in 1990, 2006, 2013, 2022, and 2024.

Given Flamengo's recent difficulties in signing a new number 9, a speculated name has resurfaced among fans: Gabriel Jesus . The Brazilian national team striker, currently at Arsenal in England, has reportedly been placed on the London club's transfer list for the next transfer window.
The asking price is around £30 million (approximately R$191 million at the current exchange rate) . The push for attacking reinforcements gained momentum after rejections from players like Lucas Beltrán and Mehdi Taremi, who opted to remain in European football.
Despite being one of the most mentioned names by fans on social media and specialized forums, Gabriel Jesus' arrival in Brazilian football is considered extremely unlikely at this time. Arsenal's proposed fee is far above the financial reality of South American football, even for a club with significant investment power like Flamengo .
In addition to the high transfer fee required, the player's current salary—comparable to Premier League standards—would pose an even greater challenge. The English club, seeking to balance its finances and make room for reinforcements in other positions, sees the Brazilian striker as one of its main bargaining chips in the next window.
Flamengo 's board continues to monitor the market for a center forward who fits the profile desired by Filipe Luís's coaching staff. After frustrations in negotiations with players who opted to remain on the Old Continent, the club is seeking viable alternatives that can strengthen the squad without compromising its financial planning.
