JOURNALIST COMMENTS ON THE CASE OF GABIGOL AND DETONA RODOLFO LANDIM

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.

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.

Flamengo is close to signing two important reinforcements for the season. Marcos Antônio, currently at Lazio, and André Franco, Estoril's standout, have been in the Rio club's sights since the beginning of the year. Information from reliable sources indicates that negotiations are advanced and could be finalized soon.

Marcos Antônio is a versatile player. In addition to being a midfielder, he also acts as a midfielder, offering the coach a range of options. The athlete's tactical flexibility is one of the points that most caught the attention of Flamengo's board. At just 22 years old, Marcos Antônio already has international experience, having spent time at Shakhtar Donetsk, in Ukraine, and now at Lazio, in Italy.

FLAMENGO GOES BEHIND THE WHEEL IN ITALY 

On the other hand, André Franco, who also plays both as a midfielder and as a midfielder, is one of the revelations of Portuguese football. At 24 years old, the Estoril player has shown a high level of football, which aroused the interest of Flamengo. Franco is known for his ability to control the midfield, distributing the ball well and helping in the transition between defense and attack.

< The arrival of these two players should further strengthen Flamengo's squad, which is looking for titles in all the competitions it competes in. The team, which already has a star-studded squad, sees Marcos Antônio and André Franco as fundamental pieces to maintain the high level of performance.

Marcos Antônio should arrive in Rio de Janeiro in the next few days. Negotiations with Lazio progressed quickly, and the player would already have everything agreed to join the red-and-black squad. The young Brazilian is excited about the possibility of playing for Flamengo, one of the most popular and traditional clubs in Brazil.
