Alex Sandro, left back, has already accepted< /a> the red-black proposal and the contract remains to be signed before it is officially announced.

Since the opening of the window, Mais Querido has been looking for reinforcements for its midfield. Fla looked for Lucas Paquetá, from West Ham, and Claudinho, who renewed his contract with Zenit after negotiating with the red and black. Flamengo's star player is Argentine Carlos Alcaraz, but a consultation was made with a player who had his best seasons under the command of a Flamengo fan.


João Mário, from Benfica, was approached by the red and black board to find out about the possibility of a signing. The name pleased coach Tite and his coaching staff. However, the midfielder, who is no longer used and is expected to be traded by Benfica this season, has no interest in playing in Brazilian football and has ruled out a possible move to Mais Querido. The information is from the ‘GOAL’ portal. The Portuguese is on his way to Besiktas, in Turkey, according to the Lisbon newspaper A Bola.

According to 'GOAL', contact with João Mário was made two weeks ago and, upon hearing the negative alongside the Portuguese midfielder, that's when Flamengo decided to turn its attention to Carlos Alcaraz, Argentine midfielder from England's Southampton. The red-black team is just a few details away from agreeing on the signing of the player, with only bureaucratic issues remaining and the agreement on which young red-black player will be heading to Great Britain in the negotiation.

João started his career at Sporting and became a starter when Jorge Jesus took charge of the Lions. After being signed by Inter Milan and a quick spell in English football at West Ham, the midfielder was signed by Benfica at the request of JJ after the coach's return to the Reds in 2021.
