0Defender Fabrício Bruno made a surprising decision that directly impacted the football market. Refusing a tempting salary offer from England's West Ham, he chose to continue wearing the Flamengo shirt. This choice not only keeps the player at the club, but also ends a deal that could yield 15 million euros (equivalent to R$84.3 million) to Rubro-Negro's coffers.
West Ham's proposal represented an amount considerable for the Flamengo, enough to exceed the sales revenue target established for the year 2024, which was R$114 million. The club had already accepted the offer, which meant that, with this amount, it would reach a total revenue of R$ 126 million even before the opening of the second transfer window.
FABÌCIO BRUNO'S REFUSAL MAKES FLAMENGO OPEN THE EYE
However, Fabrício Bruno's refusal puts the Flamengo is in a challenging position, as it still needs to raise R$72 million by trading players this season to meet its financial goals. With the improbability of receiving another proposal along the lines offered by West Ham, the club must look for alternatives, and the tendency is for these resources to come from the departure of players from the academy.
Thiago Maia was one of the first to leave the club at the beginning of the year, going to Internacional on loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the contract. This transfer has already yielded R$42 million to Flamengo's coffers. The expectation is that the definitive sale will be completed in the next transfer window.
Looking to the future, there are some young talents at Flamengo who could arouse the interest of international clubs and, consequently, generate attractive proposals. Among them is Lorran, who has stood out in the professional team and is often cited as a target for European teams. In addition to him, other names such as Victor Hugo, Wesley and Matheus Gonçalves could also be the target of speculation and proposals during the season. The success in negotiating these base players could be crucial for Flamengo to achieve its financial goals and maintain the club's economic stability.

The red-and-black team wins another title for its trophy cabinet

0Sunday was magical for Flamengo fans across Brazil. This is because the club won its fifth Brazilian Cup in history, beating Atlético-MG again, this time by 1-0 (Plata's goal) in Belo Horizonte. Adding to this, the team led by coach Filipe Luís was the first champion of Arena MRV.
Summary
Very busy first half at Arena MRV, despite the zero on the scoreboard. Gabriel Milito's Atlético had more of the ball and dominated much of the game, but Flamengo got scared with several attacks and tried to balance the match. The best chance, in fact, was from Fla: a header from Arrascaeta that knocked paint off Everson's post. The team led by Filipe Luís held on well and so far knew how to manage the 3-1 advantage built in Rio de Janeiro. Galo almost scored with shots from Hulk (a hit from outside the area) and Paulinho (in a mistake with the red-black ball). The first stage also saw complaints from the Flamengo fans due to a foul by Lyanco on Arrascaeta - for them, the defender should receive a red card instead of a yellow one.
The second half was in the same panorama as the first until 10 min. Then, leaving many defensive spaces, Flamengo piled up chances to open the score, mainly with Michael. This happened because, with the need to score at least two goals, Atlético went forward, leaving Fla with the counterattacks. Time passed and Filipe Luís' team continued to have the best chances, even with the score in their favor. After so many chances, finally the goal: At 39', Gonzalo Plata takes advantage of a counterattack, gets in the face of the goalkeeper and, through cover, scores the goal that declared the Copa do Brasil title for Fla and the first title in the history of Arena MRV .
And now?
With the title, Flamengo ends the Copa do Brasil, increases the club's revenue from the prize pool and guarantees place in the next Libertadores in 2025. However, the Brazilian Championship still remains. The red-black team is in fourth place, with 58 points and very little chance of winning the title.
Fla's next opponent will again be Atlético-mg. This time the match will be at Maracanã, for the national championship. The duel takes place next Wednesday, at 8pm.
Team from the Italian capital will go to its third coach after a start far below what was expected by the leaders and ex-Mengão appears as a possibility

0After a brief and not very impactful visit to Flamengo in 2022, Portuguese coach Paulo Sousa is now in the sights of Roma, who are looking for a new commander after dismissing Ivan Juric< /b>. Currently at Al-Ahli, in the United Arab Emirates, Sousa is one of the main names considered for the position at the club in the Italian capital.
According to the Italian newspaper Gazzetta Dello Sport, Sousa is part of a list of coaches evaluated by Roma, which could count on its third coach only in 2024. De Rossi started the year in charge, while Juric lasted just 13 games before being released. If the Portuguese is chosen, he would return to Italy, where he already has an established history as a player for Inter and Juventus and as a coach for Salernitana .
No Flamengo, Paulo Sousa accumulated32 games, with 19 wins, six draws and seven defeats. He led the team to runners-up finishes in the Supercopa do Brasil and Carioca before leaving the club.
Paulo Sousa also participated in the historic conquest of the Libertadores 2022, when Flamengo had the best campaign in the history of the main team South American club tournament, when, under his command and that of Dorival Jr, Mengão had 12 wins and only one draw in 13 games in the continental competition. The only game in which Mais Querido did not win was precisely under the command of the Portuguese, against Vélez, who scored the equalizer in an irregular manner. The match, however, did not have VAR, so the goal was not invalidated.
