In Flamengo's most recent training session, we had some absences among the starters. Wesley and Ayrton Lucas were not feeling well, which led the coaching staff to make some decisions. Matheuzinho and Filipe Luís were called to join the activity in their places. However, the good news is that they are expected to be available soon. The indisposition of Wesley and Ayrton Lucas is not uncommon in the world of football.
]Athletes are subject to various situations that can affect their health, such as fatigue, stomach upset or any other setback. In these circumstances, it is essential that the technical team is prepared to make necessary adjustments to the starting lineup, as was the case with Matheuzinho and Filipe Luís. Matheuzinho is a young and talented player who has stood out in the opportunities he has had.
His versatility and skill have been very useful for Flamengo. In turn, Filipe Luís is an experienced left-back who brings defensive consistency and quality in supporting the attack. The choice to use them in training shows how Flamengo's squad has solid alternatives in all positions. Despite the temporary changes in training, the coaching staff's expectation is that Wesley and Ayrton Lucas will be ready to take the field soon.
Player health is a priority, and the medical department works tirelessly to ensure that everyone is in optimal condition to contribute to the team. Squad rotation and the ability to adapt are crucial aspects in high-level football. Flamengo has a deep and talented squad, which allows them to face situations like this with confidence.
In addition, the technical team is always attentive to the players' physical conditions and makes decisions based on what is best for the team's performance. Wesley and Ayrton Lucas are important players for Flamengo, and their presence on the field is valuable. The fans certainly hope to see them in action, contributing to the team's success. However, the health of the players is fundamental, and it is important that they recover completely before returning to the field. The availability of key players can make all the difference in a match. Flamengo fans know how much the team can shine when everyone is in top shape. The ability to adapt to unforeseen events such as injuries or illness is an essential aspect of managing an elite football team.
While we await the recovery of Wesley and Ayrton Lucas, it is important to remember that Flamengo has a track record of overcoming challenges and achieving success. The fans continue to support the team unconditionally and trust in the team's ability to adapt to any situation. Fans are eager to see Flamengo in action, whether with the usual players or the alternatives that are ready to take the field. The passion and support of the fans are additional fuel for the team in its quest for achievements.
In short, Flamengo faced some temporary changes in training due to the absence of Wesley and Ayrton Lucas, who did not they felt good. Matheuzinho and Filipe Luís were called to participate in the activity, but the technical committee expects the players to be available soon. The athletes' health is a priority, and the team is prepared to adapt to any situation. The fans continue to support Flamengo and eagerly await to see them in action, regardless of who is on the pitch.
The investment was not considered sufficient by the red-black board, which maintains its policy of only negotiating players for values that reflect reality.

The Italian club formalized a proposal for Wesley with a base value of €20 million, plus €2 million in bonuses for goals. This amount, in theory, would meet most of the expectations of Brazilian clubs in negotiations with European football. However, Flamengo understands that it is not yet the ideal time to release the player.
According to sources interviewed by this report, the club's board believes Wesley could be valued even higher if he improves technically and performs well in the remaining competitions of the season. The club also believes the player has the potential to fetch higher fees in a future negotiation.
According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Wesley and his representatives have already finalized all the details with Roma. The Italian club offered a long-term contract with attractive salaries and performance-based bonuses. Negotiations between the player and the European club are therefore finalized, with only Flamengo's approval remaining for the transfer to be finalized.
The possibility of a new move from Roma is not ruled out. Internally, Flamengo knows that the Italians could return to the table with a revised offer. The amount requested to open negotiations is being kept confidential, but it is likely to exceed the €22 million offered.
Roma 's rejection of the offer reinforces the line taken by Flamengo's board in recent transfers. The club has sought to avoid making sales below what it considers fair on the international market, even when the figures are impressive at first glance.
Young attacking midfielder leaves Mais Querido after impasse resolved between clubs and million-dollar deal with Cruzeiro; total value of negotiation will be millions

Matheus Gonçalves will play his last match with Flamengo on Monday (14), against Atlético-MG in the Brazilian Under-20 Championship . The attacking midfielder is packing his bags for Belo Horizonte, where he will sign with Cruzeiro until 2030.
The agreement between the boards was reached after discussions over the payment method. According to reports, the Minas Gerais club will pay €3.5 million (approximately R$22.8 million) upfront for 50% of the player's economic rights. The other half will remain with the Rio de Janeiro club.
Of the amount paid, 15% will be passed on to the player's staff , who will also receive a bonus of R$1.5 million and a starting salary set at R$300,000 per month. The transaction was revealed by the channel " Flazoeiro " in collaboration with the profile "Flabase."
Despite recently standing out with two goals against Botafogo in the U-20s, Matheus Gonçalves hadn't been getting opportunities in the senior squad under Filipe Luís. Even after expressing a desire to talk to the coach to understand his role , the youngster faced obstacles due to the fierce competition in the field.
"He has quality, but the group is very competitive. I'm counting on him, but opportunities depend on several factors ," said Filipe after Mengão's victory against São Paulo, in the Brasileirão, where the Mais Querido wins.
A product of the youth academy of the Rio de Janeiro team , Matheus Gonçalves played 52 professional games and had a loan spell at Red Bull Bragantino in 2023. The transfer to Cruzeiro represents, for the 18-year-old player, a concrete chance to establish himself among the starters and have a regular appearance on the field.
The former coach of Mais Querido arrives at the Saudi team with the mission of winning titles, given that all his rivals have already lifted trophies this season.

After progressing in negotiations with Al Nassr , former Flamengo coach Jorge Jesus was announced as the Saudi team's new manager. Jesus will now coach Cristiano Ronaldo, under contract until the end of 2026.
"It's official. Mr. Jorge Jesus has been hired as head coach of Al Nassr 's senior football team, with a one-season contract. We wish him and his team success in their journey with Al Nassr, God willing, " the Saudi club said on social media.
It's worth remembering that Jorge Jesus managed Al Nassr's biggest rival, Al-Hilal. With the Saudi Arabian blue team, the former Flamengo player had positive numbers. He played 99 matches, winning 80, drawing 10, and losing only nine. His success rate was 85%.
Thus, Jorge Jesus arrives at Al Nassr with the mission of becoming a champion in Saudi Arabia, as all of his rivals have won titles. Al-Hilal and Al Ittihad (SAU) finished first in the Saudi League. Finally, Al Ahli (SAU) won the Asian Champions League.
While Jorge Jesus continues his quest for titles in Saudi Arabia, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, is also seeking good results to remain leaders of the Brasileirão. The Most Beloved returns to the field on Wednesday (16), in a match against Santos, at Vila Belmiro.
