Conversations between Clube de Regatas do Flamengo and one of its most experienced players have been a constant topic behind the scenes in football in recent weeks. While both parties recognize the need for a contract renewal, a significant disagreement remains, centered mainly on the duration of the new commitment. According to GE, Flamengo presented an offer that extends the 34-year-old midfielder's contract for just one more year, an offer that, so far, has not received the player's approval. The issue is clear: the club wants to extend the contract for one year, while the player seeks a longer commitment.
Flamengo's board, aware of the valuable contribution that the midfielder has offered throughout his career at the club, he has shown his interest in keeping him in the squad. However, negotiations have proven to be more complex than initially expected. The point of contention, so far, revolves around the contractual extension period. The player's current contract with the Rio club is scheduled to end in December, which puts pressure on both parties to reach a satisfactory agreement in time to prevent the athlete from being free on the market.
player, despite having already reached 34 years of age, remains in good shape and continues to be a valuable asset for Flamengo. His desire for a longer contract is understandable, as he seeks to ensure his financial stability and continuity on the sporting scene. However, the red-black board, cautious about long-term issues, is reluctant to commit beyond the one-year period, seeking a more conservative approach to contract renewal.
Negotiations, to date, they have been conducted professionally by both parties, without there being any public declaration of discontent. This demonstrates the mutual respect between the club and the player, who want to find common ground that benefits both parties. The time pressure, however, is undeniable, with the December deadline fast approaching, and both parties aware that an agreement needs to be reached before the current contract expires.
The player's future at Flamengo is a matter of interest not only for those directly involved in the negotiation, but also for the red and black fans, who see in him an icon of success and dedication to the club. The uncertainty surrounding the contract renewal has fueled heated discussions among fans, who yearn for a peaceful resolution of the impasse and for the player to remain in the squad.
As conversations continue, the expectation is that both the parties come closer to a solution that satisfies their interests. Flamengo recognizes the player's value, and he wishes to continue his journey at the club. However, the difference of opinions regarding the duration of the new contract remains a challenge to be overcome. As the clock continues to count down the days until the end of December, the football world anxiously awaits the outcome of this negotiation, which will shape the future of one of Flamengo's most iconic players.

Doctor Luiz Antônio Vieira, responsible for Pedro's surgery, commented that the attacker's recovery has been very positive. The surgeon was responsible for reconstructing the anterior cruciate ligament in Pedro's knees — on the right in 2018 and on the left this year. Vieira believes that the player's return will be better than his first injury, which occurred six years ago.
In an interview with the 'GE' portal, the doctor, who also operated on Bruno Henrique, detailed the surgical procedure, highlighting Pedro's physical and psychological qualities and reassured Flamengo fans about the possibility of the striker being present at the Club World Cup, in June next year.
“He was lucky not to have a meniscus injury , so joint rehabilitation is faster. We're still in September, I mean, he'll be there for about eight months, because that's around the time he turns around, between the eighth and ninth month. So I believe he has a chance. He is very dedicated, super focused on rehabilitation, does everything you tell him to, has strong legs, good muscles... I think he has a chance. He will be around the time he would more or less return”, said the doctor.
Pedro’s mind is calm in the face of the serious injuryLuiz Antônio Vieira commented on the way Pedro is coping mentally with the situation. After suffering the same injury in 2018 to one knee, the attacker now has the anterior cruciate ligament in his other knee torn. The doctor highlighted that Flamengo's Shirt 9 is very calm and sees this as a learning experience for his life.
“He has one good thing: he is quite religious. So he believes that it is part of his life learning, that he had to go through this. He accepted, in a way he resigned himself a little. He said: ‘Doctor, I’ve been through this, I’m going to have to go through it again, it was supposed to be like this, it’s part of my life, let’s face it’. He is super calm about it”, explained Vieira.
In addition, Vieira mentioned the time that Pedro will be able to spend with his twin daughters, who were born just over a month ago.
“He’s at a stage where he just had a baby, right? He has one-month-old twins, so I told him: “Everything in life has a good and a bad side. You will now be able to live with your one-month-old daughters because playing football two or three times a week would be impossible, right”? So let's put it this way, there will be this good part, in inverted commas, of his drama”, concluded the surgeon.

Léo Ortiz is one of the new additions to Dorival Júnior's pre-call for October's FIFA Date. As happened in September, the CBF will use the maximum period of ten days to announce the 23 players who will defend the Seleção against Chile and Peru. However, the preliminary list was already sent to the clubs last Friday. At Flamengo, in addition to Ortiz, there are Fabrício Bruno, Ayrton Lucas and Gerson.
Improvised as a midfielder, Léo Ortiz has been one of Flamengo's highlights in this second half of the year, earning the admiration of the fans. However, in the match against Peñarol, Ortiz was passed over by Tite and started on the bench.
Interestingly, it was Flamengo's current coach who gave Ortiz his first opportunities in the national team. In 2021, the defender was called up for the Copa América, in which Brazil finished as runner-up.
If Ortiz is a surprise, the other three red-and-black players are already household names. Fabrício Bruno and Gerson were in the September squad, and Ayrton Lucas was called up by Dorival Júnior in March.
FIFA regulations allow the 23 players to be defined up to ten days before the presentation, but the clubs that have pre-summoned athletes must be informed 15 days in advance. Therefore, the CBF already notified the clubs on Friday.
Dorival Júnior's official call-up will be announced on September 27th, at the CBF headquarters, in Rio de Janeiro. The players will perform on October 7th, in São Paulo, where they will train at CT Joaquim Grava, from Corinthians, until the 9th, when they will head to Santiago.
Brazil will face Chile away from home in the on October 10th and, on the 15th, they will face Peru at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília. Currently, with ten points, the Seleção occupies fifth place in the Qualifiers.

The future of Gabigol is uncertain, but the player should not stay at Flamengo. The statements made by the club's managers, which have even irritated the player, indicate that the end of the cycle is real and a new renewal should not be offered. Therefore, Gabriel must now evaluate possible destinations, after much speculation from Corinthians and Palmeiras. But Everton Ribeiro's Bahia is another possibility.
Flamengo's own idol, Everton Ribeiro, invited his former teammate to join him in Salvador. The midfielder gave an interview to TNT Sports and responded about Gabigol, stating that Bahia would be an incredible destination and that he is counting on his arrival. Furthermore, he passed the responsibility on to the Bahian team's manager, showing himself excited about the possibility.
“It's a great destination. We count on him here. He just says he wants us to make a call. I talk to Cadu (Santoro) and he gives his way. Gabi is a great striker, he has a beautiful story at Flamengo. If he leaves, may he go to a big club like Bahia. If you get here, it will help a lot. I'm sure he has many goals ahead of him in his career”, says Everton Ribeiro.
Ex-Flamengo, Everton Ribeiro did not reach an agreement with Flamengo to remain at the club, seeing his contract end at the end from last season. The same happens with Gabigol, who has a contract until December and did not reach a consensus with the Mengão board about staying.
Gabigol, therefore, fulfills his contract, but the news was also that Bahia could wait until December to negotiate directly with the player, just as Palmeiras and Corinthians could also do.
