Flamengo fans in Brasília are already mobilized to show up in force
|
Flamengo will face Criciúma at the Mané Garrincha stadium, in Brasília, on July 20th, at 4pm. The clash, valid for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship, promises to move the federal capital. The choice of Mané Garrincha as the venue for the match is strategic. In addition to offering a modern structure, the stadium has the capacity to receive a large audience, something that should attract many Flamengo fans residing in Brasília and nearby regions.
The fans of Flamengo, one of the biggest and most passionate team in the country, has already demonstrated its strength in the federal capital on other occasions, and the expectation is of great support for the red-black team. The match against Criciúma comes at an important moment in the season. Flamengo seeks to consolidate its position in the table and, perhaps, get even closer to the leadership.
FLAMENGO HAS A NEW DIRECTION
The team led by Tite has shown progress, but still faces challenges, especially in defense. Flamengo has alternated between good and bad moments in the championship. With a star-studded squad, which includes players like Gabigol, Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique, the team is looking for consistency to start a winning streak. The match against Criciúma will be an opportunity for the team to show that it is on the right path.
On the other hand, Criciúma has been having a regular campaign, but needs points to move away from the relegation zone. Playing against a giant like Flamengo away from home is always a challenge, but the Santa Catarina team can surprise. The team has experienced players who can make a difference in decisive moments.
The red and black fans eagerly await the outcome of the negotiations

Flamengo continues negotiating with Lazio in Italy, the terms of the midfielder's loan Marcos Antônio. One of the main points of discussion between the clubs is the mandatory purchase clause, which the Italian club wants to impose if the player plays in 50% of the matches during the loan period. Rubro-Negro, in turn, did not accept this condition and is trying to adjust the definition of "games" to this goal.
This lack of definition has been one of the main obstacles in negotiations, as Flamengo seeks greater flexibility in the conditions that would force the athlete to purchase. Another important point under discussion is the value of the purchase option. The expectation is that Flamengo will pay between 5 and 6 million euros (approximately R$30.4 to R$36.4 million at current prices), in addition to additional bonuses, to acquire Marcos Antônio permanently.
FLAMENGO AND ITS DEFINITION BY THE NEW REINFORCEMENT
Flamengo is carefully evaluating the numbers involved in the transaction. The club seeks to balance investments to reinforce the squad without compromising its finances. Marcos Antônio is a young midfielder who stood out in European football. A graduate of Athletico-PR's youth teams, he transferred to Estoril, in Portugal, before arriving at Lazio, in Italy. His technical ability and game vision caught the attention of Flamengo, who see the player as a potential reinforcement for the team led by Tite.
Negotiations between Flamengo and Lazio should continue in the coming days. The expectation is that both parties will reach an agreement that is satisfactory to everyone involved. Meanwhile, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market, looking for reinforcements that can contribute to the continuation of the season.
In addition to a midfielder, Flamengo analyzed other positions in the last transfer window and continues to keep an eye on the market to reinforce the squad

Behind the scenes at Flamengo are busy looking for reinforcements for next season. The Rio club, always attentive to market opportunities, is now focusing on signing midfielder Marcos Antônio, currently at Lazio, in Italy. In addition to him, there are other names on the agenda, but which have not yet been leaked to the press.
Directors Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel, responsible for Flamengo's negotiations, will soon embark for Europe. The report found that the English capital, London, is on the itinerary, suggesting that directors are keeping an eye on more than one player and that talks could involve other European clubs besides Lazio.
MARCOS ANTONIO IS A PRIORITY MÁXIMA
Marcos Antônio is 24 years old and has already accepted the proposal from Flamengo for a one-year loan. The young midfielder, who stood out in European football, welcomes the opportunity to wear the red and black shirt and return to Brazil to play for one of the country's biggest clubs. However, the negotiation is not simple and there are still pending issues to be resolved with the Italian club.
The main obstacle to completing the loan are the triggers that would determine the purchase obligation at the end of the period. Lazio wants to ensure that Flamengo commits to buying the player permanently if some goals are achieved during the loan. The red-black leaders will travel to Rome to try to adjust these details and close the agreement.
