Galatasaray, one of the most traditional clubs in Turkey, has its eyes on one of the main players of the Flamengo. According to the Turkish press, Uruguayan midfielder Giorgian Arrascaeta is one of the team's targets for next season. The club's search for Arrascaeta is intensifying, and two important factors could influence this possible negotiation: players Fernando Muslera and Lucas Terreira.
Muslera and Terreira, both Arrascaeta's teammates on the Uruguayan national team, play a role crucial in Galatasaray's strategies to attract the Flamengo midfielder. The presence of these players in the Turkish team could be a decisive factor in convincing Arrascaeta to consider the club's proposal. The connection with his compatriots can make the idea of a transfer more attractive and less challenging for the player.
AN IMPOSSIBLE NEGOTIATION FOR FLAMENGO
Also according to According to Turkish media, Arrascaeta's market value is valued at around 15 million euros, which corresponds to approximately R$90.6 million at the current price. This value represents a significant investment for any interested club, reflecting the importance and quality of the player on the international scene.
Arrascaeta arrived in Flamengo at the beginning of 2019 and quickly established himself as a key player in the team's tactical scheme . Since his arrival, he has stood out for his technical ability, vision of the game and ability to decide important matches. Arrascaeta's contract with Flamengo runs until the end of 2026, which indicates that the club has a long-term commitment to the player in its favor. The length of the contract could represent an additional challenge for Galatasaray, if the Turkish club really wishes to secure the signing of the Uruguayan midfielder.
Negotiations between Galatasaray and Flamengo could involve several complexities, including the need to reach to an agreement on the value of the transfer and the specific conditions of the negotiation. The presence of Muslera and Terreira can facilitate the process, providing a more welcoming environment for Arrascaeta and helping to smooth the transition.

The decision of the spot was left to penalties, where the Minas Gerais team got the best and stamped its passport to the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil.
With a strong performance, the Rubro-Negro dominated most of the match, creating clear chances, and finding the net with Pedro in the second half.

After the match ended, coach Filipe Luís showed support for Wallace Yan, who missed the decisive penalty . For the experienced player, the youngster demonstrated character by taking responsibility at such a crucial moment.
"He's a player with a lot of personality. He doesn't hide, he's not shy around anyone. He's been the center of attention, but Lyanco isn't a saint, and neither are Everson or Hulk. They provoke. They get involved in these game things," he said before concluding.
"In high-performance football, no one wants to lose. And that's how it is. As long as there's no violence, it's fine. Both teams want to win. Atlético-MG won. Wallace played a great game, he did what was in the game plan. He has personality and a great future ahead of him," said Filipe.
With the elimination in the Copa do Brasil, the focus now turns completely to the Brazilian Championship . On Saturday (09), Flamengo hosts Mirassol at Maracanã, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 18th round of the tournament.
