Player's name would be circulating behind the scenes Rubro-negros
|
0The Flamengo has already closed its 2024 signing cycle, but one name is of interest to the club for next season: Rafinha Alcântara. According to influencer Paparazzo Rubro-Negro, the player who is free on the market could be a target for the red-black board in 2025. Even though there is an election in December, the 31-year-old athlete is a name that pleases some parties.
“Flamengo could be signing a very important player in the next window. He is a player who was free on the market. In fact, he has already said that he wants to play for Flamengo, he has already made a statement saying that he dreams of playing for Flamengo. He is the son of four-time champion Mazinho, midfielder Rafinha Alcântara (…) But only for the next window, only at the end of the year”, said journalist Gabriel Reis.
How he left Al-Arabi, from Qatar In July, Rafinha Alcântara could even be signed by Flamengo until September 20th. On the other hand, he would only help Rubro-Negro in the Brazilian Championship and Libertadores. The deadline for registrations for the Copa do Brasil passed on Monday (9). However, the internal assessment is that the squad is already closed in 2024.
At the time when the Flamengo was led by Vitor Pereira, the Portuguese coach even suggested hiring Alcântara in the middle window of 2023. However, with the Portuguese's dismissal, the matter did not move forward. Rafinha Alcântara received around 4.6 million euros per season at Al-Arabi, something close to R$28 million.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Directors from Flamengo and Peñarol met at the traditional dinner on the eve of clashes in the Conmebol Libertadores. Rubro-Negro was represented at the meeting by the vice-president of the Presidency's Office and Member of the Football Council, Diogo Lemos, by the vice-president of External Relations, Gony Arruda, and by the executive director of football, Bruno Spindel.
