Flamengo backs down and causes outrage: Striker becomes more distant from the club - check it out

The possible signing of Róger Guedes by Flamengo has once again been discussed behind the scenes at the club, but it is unlikely to go beyond speculation. Although the striker from Al-Rayyan, from Qatar, has the approval of Luiz Eduardo Baptista , known as BAP, a strong name in the Flamengo board, the current situation does not allow for progress. The main reason is the high salary that the player receives in Middle Eastern football.

VALUES ARE AN OBSTACLE FOR MENGÃO

Even with internal approval, the financial reality of Guedes ' contract in Qatar makes it practically impossible for him to land in Rio de Janeiro in 2025. Sources linked to the club guarantee that, for this to happen, the player would have to give up significant amounts — something that is not on the radar at the moment.

ROGER GUEDES IS IN A POSITIVE PHASE OUTSIDE BRAZIL

Since leaving Corinthians and moving to Al-Rayyan, Róger Guedes has been one of the team's main highlights. His good performance has sparked the interest of other Brazilian clubs, such as Grêmio and Corinthians itself, who are analyzing the possibility of a return. However, the striker seems willing to stay in Qatar while he is on the rise.

Despite the market movements, Flamengo has shown satisfaction with the current group. José Boto, the club's executive director, highlighted in an interview with the program "CNN Esportes S/A" that the squad is considered very strong and that the focus is on maintaining the quality of the signings, based on the style of play.

According to Boto, the board has adopted a more strategic approach to signings. The idea is to avoid impulse and analyze in depth which players really fit the team's tactical model. "The richer the club, the more it runs the risk of making mistakes if it is not careful. We need to think about the game before thinking about the name," explained the director.
