Flamengo is very close to signing midfielder Jorginho for the middle of the year. Despite being a top-level player, his adaptation to Filipe Luís 's scheme is one of the most debated points, as the red-black midfield has been a solid sector.
At 33 years old, Jorginho is no longer at his physical peak . As the Rubro-Negro's scheme demands intensity in the midfield, there are doubts about how he will be able to fit in without compromising the team's dynamics.
He's a player who I hope will have a big impact" - Mansur.
Initially, many thought that Jorginho would replace Pulgar in the starting line-up. However, commentator Carlos Eduardo Mansur believes that the Italian-Brazilian could play alongside the Chilean , rather than being an alternative to him.
"I think he could even, for example, play alongside Pulgar. Not necessarily as an alternative to Pulgar. Filipe often uses two defensive midfielders when Flamengo builds plays, who stay behind the play most of the time. And one of Jorginho's great characteristics is his very good passing ability, his very good construction skills", analyzed Mansur.
In addition to creating plays, Mansur highlights that Jorginho can also contribute defensively, closing spaces and ensuring balance for the team.
"I think he 'll be very useful in terms of building up the game . Of course, taking up space, defending, all that. But even at this stage of his career, I think he's a player who I expect to have a big impact," he added.
Flamengo made significant progress in negotiations with Jorginho after a meeting on Sunday (30). The biggest obstacle was the financial agreement, but the parties reached a common denominator. Now, the club awaits final approval from president Bap. Football director José Boto will present the negotiation figures to the president, who needs to give the go-ahead for the officialization of the contract, which should last three years .
According to ge, a new meeting between the parties is scheduled to take place by the end of the week to finalize the details. The expectation is that the outcome will happen in the next few days . Mengão, however, should have competition for the signing of the midfielder and Arab clubs are already considering investing in the player.
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.
