After shining in winning the Copa do Brasil, Gabigol announced that he will not renew with Flamengo for the 2025 season. The player, who made history at the club with titles and decisive performances, already has his destiny set in stone. Flamengo's board, aware of the importance of replacing the number 99, began mapping options on the market to reinforce the offensive sector next year.
Among the first names analyzed by Flamengo is that of Vitor Roque b>, considered one of the biggest promises in Brazilian football. The young striker was signed by Barcelona in 2024, but is facing difficulties establishing himself at the Spanish club. Currently loaned to Real Betis, the player was speculated as a possible solution for the red and black attack. However, talks did not progress due to the athlete's high market value and Barcelona's preference for a permanent sale.
< b>BÉTIS HIGHLIGHT, "HIGH" VALUES FOR THE RUBRO-NEGRA GOAL
Currently, Vitor Roque is experiencing a moment of adaptation in Real Betis, where he has played 14 games and scored five goals. Despite a promising start to European football, the striker has yet to reach his full potential. Barcelona, which paid around 74 million euros for the athlete, seeks to recover part of the investment and, therefore, rules out a new loan, making the chances of a negotiation with Flamengo difficult.
With the difficulties involving Vitor Roque, the Flamengoturned its attention to other names on the market. One of the targets is Arthur Cabral, a 26-year-old Brazilian striker, who currently plays for Benfica, from Portugal. Another possibility is Colombian Cucho Hernández, 25 years old, who plays for Columbus Crew, in the United States. Both are seen as viable alternatives to replace Gabigol, bringing complementary characteristics to the red and black squad.
NAMES ON THE TABLE FLAMENGO FOR 2025
While Flamengo defines its future offensive, Gabigol is already planning the next steps of his career. According to information from the "GE" portal, the attacker is in advanced negotiations with Cruzeiro for a four-year contract. The Minas Gerais club, which is going through a period of reconstruction, would be willing to pay a salary of R$2.5 million per month to have the player, who would be the main name on the celestial squad from 2025 onwards.
Mengão reached an agreement with Dynamo Moscow to sign the midfielder, but the Russian club did not send a document authorizing the official announcement.

Although he was the first signing by Flamengo in this transfer window, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was the last to show up in Rio de Janeiro . According to the 'GE' portal, the last document signed by the Russian club arrived at Flamengo late in the afternoon of this Friday (1st). With that, the official announcement of the player will be made in the coming days, after the conclusion of pending procedures with Atlético-MG.
The reason for the delay was that Dynamo Moscow, his former club, took too long to complete the necessary paperwork for the transfer . The Russian team only released the Colombian after signing Rubens from Atlético-MG as a replacement.
At Dynamo's request, Flamengo will participate in the payment to Atlético-MG for Rubens' acquisition. Thus, a significant portion of the €12 million (R$77 million) invested by Carrascal will go to the Minas Gerais club.
Despite being in Rio since Wednesday, Carrascal has not yet been regularized with the CBF, which prevents him from playing in the next matches — against Ceará, this Sunday (3), for the Brasileirão, and against Atlético-MG, Wednesday (7), for the second leg of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. The registration deadlines for both matches have already expired.
The Colombian's debut is scheduled for August 9th against Mirassol at Maracanã, in the final round of the first half of the Brazilian Championship . Having been training regularly and playing for Dinamo, Carrascal is expected to be available to Filipe Luís as soon as he is officially confirmed. He has already passed the medical exams but will only be able to train with the club after being registered.
Alvinegro still owed Mengão for the signing of Matheuzinho, but managed to deposit a huge amount to close the matter.

Flamengo received, this Friday (1st), another millionaire amount related to the sale of right-back Matheuzinho. Corinthians paid around R$ 14 million to Rubro-Negro , paying off the remaining amount of the negotiation made in February of this year.
At the time, the Rio de Janeiro club sold the player for R$21.48 million, but Corinthians delayed the third installment of the agreement. As a result, Flamengo demanded immediate payment of the entire outstanding amount . The information was initially reported by the portal Meu Timão.
To facilitate the payment, Corinthians signed an agreement with Brax, the company responsible for marketing advertising signs for both clubs. The company acted as guarantor for the deal and transferred the funds to Flamengo .
By August, Corinthians had already paid R$8 million directly to the Rio de Janeiro club. It then transferred R$7.58 million to Brax , which topped up the amount with another R$6 million , fully settling the debt with the club.
While the board celebrates receiving the amount, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team led by Filipe Luís returns to play this Sunday (3), against Ceará, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view.

Flamengo has already made four signings official this transfer window , but the delay in negotiations has drawn criticism from some fans . During striker Samuel Lino's presentation, football director José Boto spoke out on the matter and apologized to the Flamengo Nation.
“Sometimes things take a little longer than the fans want, and I apologize to the fans, but we ( Flamengo 's board) have fixed ideas, and as long as it's possible to have the players we want , we'll go after it,” explained Boto.
Brazilian football's second transfer window opened on July 10th, and Flamengo began the period cautiously, monitoring the market and evaluating options. As the weeks progressed, the board accelerated negotiations and secured four key signings : Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal.
Despite the names already confirmed, Flamengo remains attentive to the market. The club is in ongoing negotiations with Fiorentina, Italy, to sign striker Lucas Beltrán . Flamengo has already agreed on a fee with the Italian club, but still needs to convince the Argentine player to return to South America.
While the board works behind the scenes, the squad led by Filipe Luís focuses on the challenges on the field. Flamengo's next match is this Sunday (3), against Ceará , at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Castelão, for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship.
