International is not happy with Flamengo's insistence in trying to sign defender Vitão, who belongs to the Rio Grande do Sul club. According to journalist Vagner Martins, from Gaúcha ZH, the Beira-Rio team is not ruling out a complaint of harassment by theCBF or FIFA against the red-black football director José Boto.

In the opinion of the Internacional board, the Portuguese director offered a five-year contract to Vitão without authorization from Colorado. According to the publication, such action by Boto can be interpreted as grooming.

It is worth noting that Flamengo has already offered Internacional a proposal of 6 million euros, plus forgiveness of the debt that Inter has for the purchase of Thiago Maia: 4 million euros.

Meanwhile, Flamengo's offer was not accepted. A name that has the approval of Filipe Luís and José Boto, Vitão is still in Mengão's sights and a new proposal could soon be made to Internacional. The athlete is interested in moving to Gávea, and would even have already met the numbers presented by Fla.

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.
