What Flamengo is planning to focus on renewing the contracts of three of its main players after the transfer window closes. Pedro, Gerson and Erick Pulgar are fundamental pieces of the red and black squad, and the club wants to guarantee their stay for longer, offering new contractual terms that reflect their importance within the team.
In the case of Pedro , the striker received a proposal from Nottingham Forest during the window, but Flamengo chose not to accept the offer. The decision reflects the club's position of not wanting to trade the player at this time, as he is seen as a strategic asset for the season. Pedro, who has been top scorer in several competitions, is a central piece in Flamengo's attack, and his departure would create a gap that would be difficult to fill. To ensure their permanence and motivation, Flamengo plans to discuss a salary increase that is in line with their contributions and future expectations.
Erick Pulgar, in turn, has a slightly different situation. The Chilean midfielder, who arrived at Flamengo in 2022, has a contract in force until December 2025. At the beginning of 2024, the club began discussing a possible renewal with Pulgar, but the conversations ended up cooling down as the months went by. Now, with the transfer window closing, Flamengo intends to resume these negotiations with more intensity. Pulgar is seen as an important piece in the team's defensive scheme, offering stability and protection to the defense. The club's idea is to guarantee its continuity, preventing possible harassment from other clubs in the future.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
The offer made is 90% of the club

Retired from the field since 2017, former midfielder Zé Roberto, who had a spell at Flamengoin the 90s, it is looking to buy 90% of SAF from São Bento, a club in São Paulo. According to GE, a meeting scheduled for this Wednesday night (18) could decree the sale of the Sorocaba team to the company Flash Forward, which belongs to the former player.
Zé Roberto is the main name of the company. However, the group also has partners such as former athlete Fransérgio and businessman Tiago Ribeiro (former CEO of Estoril). In addition to Flamengo, Zé played in Brazilian football with the shirts of Palmeiras, Santos and Grêmio. In Europe, the former athlete defended giants such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
The offer is R$130 million, which would be paid in installments. This amount would be invested on a specific basis in the football team and the club’s structure. The project is to take São Bento to the elite of São Paulo football and Brazilian Series B in up to six seasons.
Revelation from Portuguesa-SP, Zé Roberto stood out at Lusa and caught the attention of Real Madrid in 1997. However, the player had difficulty fitting into the Spanish club and was loaned to Flamengo in 1998.

Gabigol, who appears to be living out his final months Flamengo, reached his seventh game for the club in this edition of the Brazilian Championship. The striker entered the field in the 32nd minute of the second half against Criciúma and scored the winning goal.
The fact that Gabigol reached his seventh match in this championship implies the possibility of him transferring to another club later this year. Now, he is prevented from playing in the Brasileirão Série A for any other club. This is because Article 12 of the Brazilian Championship Series A regulations states that an athlete cannot represent two teams in the same edition of the championship if they have played seven or more matches for their home club.
More recently, even with absences for Due to the Copa América and some injuries that appeared in the squad, coach Tite did not use or list Gabigol in some games. This is because Flamengo's board was waiting for a Brazilian club to make a purchase approach. Therefore, if the striker had already reached the seven-game mark, this would make it impossible for him to be used at a new club.
The suspension of shirt number 99 ended up “helping” Flamengo to spare him in this sense. Because he was unable to play when Flamengo faced: Atlético-GO, São Paulo, Palmeiras and Botafogo. After receiving his suspension effect, Gabigol was left out of the team's list or just remained on the bench in the matches against: Grêmio, Fluminense, Cruzeiro, Atlético-MG and Cuiabá.
