Flamengo went to the market after Matías Viña's injury in search of a left back and a player, former Barcelona was offered to Mais Querido. This is Marcos Alonso, 33 years old. The athlete, created by Real Madrid's youth teams, has been without a club since his contract with the Catalan club ended in June 2024. The red-and-black, however, chose to go after Alex Sandro and ruled out interest in the Spaniard. The information was first published by the ‘Goal’ portal.


Directors Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel are already in Portugal to speed up contacts and finalize the hiring of Alex Sandro. The 33-year-old player has been without a club since he did not renew with Juventus, from Italy, and is in the Portuguese country maintaining his physical form at Portimonense, a club in the southern Portuguese region.


The red and black team is running against the time to finalize the negotiations he has for Alex Sandro, Gonzalo Plata and Carlos Alcaraz. The window for international signings closes on September 2nd, and the club finds itself with little time on the market. Despite this, conversations with the athletes are already treated as advanced and Flamengo is close to signing at least two of the three players.


Raised in Real Madrid's youth categories, Marcos Alonso only played in one match for the merengue club. He moved between England and Italy until arriving at Chelsea, where he became an absolute starter under coach Antonio Conte. For the blues, the full-back was champion of the Premier League, FA Cup, Europa League, English Super Cup, Champions League and Club World Cup. He transferred to Barcelona in the 2022/23 season, but did not establish himself as a starter in Catalonia.

Gabriel Jesus' future is once again stirring up the European market and also sparking interest in Brazil. The Arsenal striker has landed on Flamengo's radar , but the high fees involved make any move extremely difficult for the Rio de Janeiro club. In England, Everton has emerged as the main interested party for the 2026 season .


ENGLISH INTEREST AND HIGH TRANSFER COST


Everton are looking for a top center forward and consider Gabriel Jesus the ideal candidate to lead their rebuild. Arsenal, however, aren't going to make things easy: the London club is asking £30 million (approximately R$217 million) for the player's release . Despite the high price, the Toffees aren't ruling out a move, as long as the striker agrees to adjust his salary terms.


RED-BLACK MONITORING

In Brazil, Flamengo is monitoring the situation remotely. The board believes that a proposal would only be possible if the player's fees were significantly reduced or if Arsenal changed its stance, as it has so far ruled out any loan offer and insisted on a permanent sale.


SALARY IS AN OBSTACLE FOR ANY CLUB

Gabriel Jesus earns approximately £13.7 million per season, equivalent to R$99 million annually, or about R$8.2 million per month . This salary level is unaffordable for almost all clubs outside of Europe's elite. Everton is considering moving forward only if the striker agrees to a salary reduction, as they cannot match Arsenal's current pay.

A DISTANT REALITY FOR BRAZILIAN FOOTBALL

To play for Flamengo, the Brazilian would have to accept a drastic salary cut . Even though he's a highly popular player, the board believes it would be impossible to handle such a large payroll without compromising financial planning.

OPEN SCENARIO

At 28 years old, Gabriel Jesus still attracts interest from several markets. Everton appears to be the most realistic destination, while Flamengo remains alert to a possible unlikely opportunity . Arsenal, meanwhile, is awaiting official offers to finalize the striker's future in the January window.

Flamengo takes to the field this Sunday (5), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), to face Bahia at Arena Fonte Nova, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. However, in addition to the concern about the result, Filipe Luís' team needs to manage the risk of important suspensions for the next match, against Botafogo.


THREE PLAYERS AT RISK OF SUSPENSION


The main name among those suspended is Arrascaeta, Flamengo 's technical standout this season and a key player in the red-and-black formation . The Uruguayan will need to act cautiously to avoid receiving a third yellow card.


Another player under scrutiny is Colombian Carrascal , who also has two cards and could be out if he receives another warning. Rounding out the list is midfielder Allan, who divides opinion among fans, who is the third player at risk of suspension.

THE THRUSH IS STILL OUT, BUT IT IS ALSO HANGING


In addition to the available trio, midfielder Erick Pulgar is also suspended, although he remains out due to injury . The Chilean is recovering from a fractured fifth metatarsal in his right foot and has no confirmed return date yet.

PROBABLE LINEUP AGAINST BAHIA

Of the suspended players, only Arrascaeta is expected to start. Flamengo 's likely starting lineup for the match in Salvador is: Rossi; Varela (Royal), Danilo, Léo Ortiz, and Ayrton Lucas; De la Cruz, Jorginho, and Arrascaeta; Plata (Carrascal), Samuel Lino (Cebolinha), and Pedro .

CLASSIC IN THE NEXT ROUND

After the clash at Fonte Nova, Flamengo returns to the field on Wednesday (15) to face Botafogo, at 7:30 pm, at Nilton Santos Stadium (Engenhão) . With three athletes at risk of suspension, Filipe Luís must guide the squad to act with discipline to avoid absences in the classic.
