Flamengo fans have already started to demonstrate

21 Jun 2024 | 15:44 |

In a revealing interview with Coxanautas channel, the striker Igor Paixão, who currently shines at Feyenoord, in the Netherlands, confessed his desire to wear the Flamengo shirt. "A club I want to play for? Flamengo!", said the player, making clear his interest in playing for Rio's Rubro-Negro.

At just 23 years old, Igor Paixão has stood out in European football. His contract with Feyenoord runs until 2027, which shows the Dutch club's confidence in the Brazilian's talent. Since arriving at Feyenoord, Paixão has been a fundamental part of the squad, attracting attention with his speed, dribbling and ability to decide important games.

ANOTHER RUBRO-NEGRO

Igor Paixão began his career in Coritiba, where he quickly gained prominence. His performance at the Paraná club caught the attention of international scouts, which culminated in his transfer to Feyenoord. Since then, he has been constantly evolving, gaining experience and improving his skills in one of the most competitive championships in Europe.

The statement from Passion certainly cheers up the Flamengo fans, who are already starting to speculate about the possibility of the player strengthening the team in the future. Flamengo, which has a history of signing big names in Brazilian and international football, could be a natural destination for Igor Paixão. However, considering his contract with Feyenoord until 2027, any immediate negotiations could be complex and involve a large amount of money.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
