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 addition to the youngsters revealed at the base, Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta was also honored this Friday (29) at Ninho do Urubu. The midfielder reached a historic mark by becoming the player with the most assists in the history of the Brazilian Championship, surpassing established idols of national football.
Currently with 78 assists, the number 10 surpassed stars like Marcelinho Carioca, Edmundo, Dudu, Pelé, Zico, and Éverton Ribeiro. For this achievement, he received a commemorative plaque from football director José Boto, in recognition of his career and impact on Brazilian football. Of his total, 60 assists were for Cruzeiro , while another 18 were recorded for Cruzeiro between 2015 and 2018.
This season, Arrascaeta has played 41 matches, scored 16 goals, and provided 13 assists. Since joining the Rio de Janeiro club, only in 2021 has he failed to reach double figures in both goals and assists. So far, he has 102 assists in all competitions for the red-and-black team.
Flamengo has resumed negotiations with midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta to extend his contract, currently valid until December 2026. The club intends to ensure the continuity of one of the most decisive athletes in the squad , a central piece in recent achievements.
The next commitment will be this Sunday (1), at 4 pm, against Grêmio, at Maracanã , for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The Uruguayan will have another opportunity to further increase the numbers that already place him in the history of the tournament and reinforce his weight in the Mengão squad.
After being cleared of misconduct charges by the English FA, the midfielder has once again attracted interest in the European market. West Ham's millionaire value

Tottenham, Crystal Palace, and Manchester City are monitoring the situation of Lucas Paquetá, a West Ham standout and highly valued player in English football. The move comes shortly after the player was acquitted of misconduct charges involving sports betting.
The London club, however, has no intention of facilitating the midfielder's departure and has set a price of £60 to £70 million to release him . This figure is considered out of reach for most clubs at the moment, which could hinder any concrete approach.
At the start of the current season, Paquetá was offered a transfer to Flamengo through his representatives. At the time, West Ham was asking for around £30 million, but negotiations stalled due to the ongoing legal process . Today, the situation is different, as the player has established himself as one of the key players in the English squad.
A possible return to Rio de Janeiro football could have been considered in a different context, but the club has already strengthened its squad with Samuel Lino, Samu, and Emerson Royal, which reduces the immediate need to invest in another midfielder . Even so, it's not ruled out that there may be room for a rapprochement at some point in the future.
Despite the obstacles, the desire of both parties remains alive. Paquetá has expressed his affection and desire to wear the red-and-black jersey again on other occasions , while the club also dreams of having the athlete back. For now, it's a distant possibility, but not ruled out.

Flamengo has resumed negotiations with midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta to extend his contract, currently valid until December 2026. The club intends to secure the continued presence of one of the squad's most decisive players , a key player in recent successes. The initial information was released by the GE website.
In initial talks, Arrascaeta expressed a desire for financial advancement and a contract until the end of 2028 , with the possibility of adjustments to the contract duration. Meanwhile, Rubro-Negro proposed extending the agreement for just one more season, until 2027, along with a salary adjustment.
The process, which was interrupted, surprised the Uruguayan. Internally, the board had planned to resolve the number 10's future immediately after his participation in the Club World Cup, but the way the negotiations were conducted prevented a quick conclusion . Some behind the scenes believe that the new management does not intend to make any major efforts to retain the player after his current contract expires.
Since arriving in 2019, Arrascaeta has played over 300 matches for the red-and-black team, becoming a technical reference for the Mais Querido . During this time, he won 18 titles, including two Copa Libertadores and two Copa do Brasil , and played a decisive role in several historic campaigns.
With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo arrives in high spirits for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão . After the impressive 8-0 victory against Vitória, at Maracanã, the team led by Filipe Luís returns to the field against Grêmio, next Sunday (30).
