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.

Liverpool's Van Dijk on Flamengo: "Their fans were incredible"
In an interview with TNT Sports, Van Dijk was asked about his knowledge of Brazilian football. The topic arose because striker Memphis Depay , a player for Corinthians and the Dutch national team, frequently talks to the defender about Brazil.
"I know very well the passion Brazilian fans have for their teams. We faced Flamengo in the Club World Cup in Qatar, and their support was incredible . Memphis also spoke to me several times about the Corinthians fans. We know how great Brazilian football is. I'm very proud of Memphis and hope he scores many goals for the national team," said the defender.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil after losing 1-0 to São Paulo, this Wednesday (17), at Morumbis. The Rio de Janeiro team even tried to react after falling behind on the scoreboard, but was unable to avoid elimination in the single duel of the round of 16. The decisive goal was scored by Duda Serrana, a standout for the São Paulo team.
In the first half, São Paulo dominated possession and adopted a more attacking approach , hindering Flamengo 's play. Flamengo struggled to exchange passes and impose their style. Even so, the visitors had the best chance of the first half: on a quick counterattack in the 30th minute, Duda had a good opportunity but shot wide.
Early in the second half, a poor clearance by the Flamengo defense resulted in the game-clinching goal. The defense poorly cleared the ball, and Duda Serrana fired a precise shot from outside the box, leaving Flamengo's goalkeeper with no chance . From then on, the Rio de Janeiro team pushed forward and sought to press in the final minutes, relying primarily on set pieces and crosses, but failed to create any real chances.
With this result, Flamengo ends its Women's Copa do Brasil campaign with one win and one loss. The team received approximately R$90,000 for its participation in the round of 16. After the final whistle, members of the Flamengo coaching staff complained about the refereeing in the center of the field, but the result remained unchanged.
Flamengo could take to the field with a different formation to face Estudiantes this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), for the CONMEBOL Libertadores. The duel, decisive for the club's ambitions in the continental competition, will be broadcast live on Disney+.

Emerson Royal reveals Filipe Luís's request at Flamengo: "Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploring my physical strength"
After the match, the full-back revealed a conversation with coach Filipe Luís, who advised him on attacking positioning: "I received criticism when I played injured because I couldn't give my best. But I wanted to stay on the field to help Flamengo . Filipe explained to me what he wanted from me: to get to the far post. I even asked my teammates to watch me during that movement," Royal said.
It was the full-back's first game since returning from injury. Royal had sprained his left ankle on August 13 against Internacional in the Copa Libertadores. Since then, he had only played a few minutes in the draw with Grêmio at Maracanã.
According to the player, Filipe Luís asked him to play differently than he was used to in his career: "At Tottenham, I played as a defensive midfielder, on the inside. But Filipe wants me to be sharp, exploiting my physical strength, passing, and crossing. He knows my ability to support, and that can really help the team ."
Signed in July for €9 million (approximately R$58 million) from Milan, Emerson Royal is competing for a spot with Varela, who was rested against Juventude due to a groin injury. " Big teams are like that; they always have top-notch players . Varela has a lot of quality, and so do I. The competition is healthy, we work hard, and the choice is Filipe's," said the full-back.
On Thursday (18), Flamengo faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores (quarter-finals, first leg), at 9:30 pm, at Maracanã . The Most Beloved only returns to the field for the Brasileirão on Sunday (21), against Vasco, also at the sacred temple.
