Midfielder Jorginho , currently at Arsenal, is the main name being discussed by the board. In the final stretch of his contract in England, the Italian-Brazilian should arrive at Rubro-Negro without transfer costs, bringing experience and quality to the midfield sector. Flamengo adjusts its planning for the second half of 2025, with an eye on the Super Club World Cup. Under the command of coach Filipe Luís, the club is negotiating the arrival of new reinforcements to strengthen the squad and maintain a high level of competitiveness.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the club does not intend to limit itself to just the arrival of Jorginho. The board is also working to sign a new midfielder and a winger, looking for players who can bring different characteristics to the team. The idea is to sign a player to play in Arrascaeta 's role, increasing the options for creating plays. Filipe Luís currently has good alternatives, but the internal assessment is that an additional player in the creative sector could be decisive for the rest of the season.
The search for a winger is also a priority . The goal is to find a player with a style that is different from those already in the squad. Despite the number of options in the position, the understanding is that a reinforcement with new characteristics can further enrich the offensive repertoire. The expectation is that the next transfer window will be busy for Mengão. The arrival of new reinforcements will be strategic to align the team with the demands of the calendar and the expectations of the fans for the Super World Cup.
Despite the behind-the-scenes movement, the board, led by José Boto, has remained cautious so far. No names have been officially announced for the new positions sought, reinforcing the discreet stance in negotiations. Just like in the search for reinforcements, the club's policy regarding departures is conservative. The board does not intend to release any players from the first team during the window, prioritizing the maintenance of the current base to face the challenges of the season.
While moving in the market, Rubro-Negro takes to the field this Sunday (27), against Corinthians, at Maracanã, for the 6th round of the Brasileirão Betano. The game starts at 4 pm (Brasília time) and promises a full house to support the team. With the arrival of reinforcements such as Jorginho and other names that should be announced, the expectation is that Mais Querido will enter even stronger in the second half of the year . The fans eagerly await the news and the chance to see Mengão shining in the Super Club World Cup.

Flamengo defeated Argentina's Estudiantes 2-1 at the Maracanã Stadium . The red-and-black team decided the match in the first half with goals from Pedro and Varela. Mengão gave Estudiantes no time to breathe in Rio de Janeiro with a lightning goal.
Just 15 seconds in, Pedro capitalized on a pass from Plata, turned on his marker, and fired a left-footed shot to open the scoring. The quick goal undermined Argentina's strategy and galvanized the Rio de Janeiro team, who continued to press. A few minutes later, Ayrton Lucas crossed from the left and Varela hit a beautiful volley into Muslera's corner, extending the red-and-blacks' lead in the first half.
Even with a two-goal lead, Flamengo maintained control and nearly made it three with Pedro, whose shot was spectacularly saved by the Uruguayan goalkeeper. Estudiantes , for their part, barely threatened Rossi's goal and only managed to partially level the score in the final minutes of the first half . The feeling at Maracanã was that the 2-0 scoreline was a cheap one for the visitors.
In the second half, the pace dropped. Coach Eduardo Domínguez made substitutions, trying to give the Argentine team more momentum, but he ran into the red-and-black defense. The match was not without its tense moments, with cards for Saúl, Samuel Lino, and Alexis Castro, and Plata's sending-off after a second yellow card in a dispute with Facundo Rodríguez . At the end of the second half, Estudiantes scored in the 46th minute to leave the match open in Argentina.
With the 2-1 victory, Flamengo takes the lead in the quarterfinals of the Libertadores. The return leg is scheduled for the 25th, at 9:30 pm, at the Jorge Luis Hirschi Stadium, in Argentina. Before that, the team led by Tite faces Vasco next Sunday (21), for the Brazilian Championship, again at Maracanã.

Forward Pedro needed just 14 seconds to open the scoring for Flamengo against Estudiantes in a Copa Libertadores quarterfinal match. The lightning strike became the Rubro-Negro's fastest goal in the competition's history , surpassing Gerson's record and also surpassing Lucas Paquetá's historic mark, which held the club's fastest goal in an official match.
Until then, Flamengo 's fastest goal in the Libertadores was Gerson's, who had scored after 56 seconds against Bolívar, in 2024. Even so, in the current edition of the tournament, Pedro's goal was the second fastest overall , behind only Artur's goal, from Botafogo, which shook the net against LDU after 13 seconds in the round of 16.
