Atalanta, from Italy, remains firmly interested in signing Rodrigo Muniz, who came through the Rio de Janeiro club's youth ranks. The Italian club put forward a €35 million (approximately R$227.5 million) offer to buy the striker from Fulham, England. However, the English board declined the offer, as they expect to negotiate the striker for even higher fees.
Even without directly participating in the negotiations, Flamengo closely monitors market movements. This is because it retains 25% of the rights to any future sale of the player , in addition to the 5% stipulated by the training club mechanism.
If Atalanta's offer were accepted, the Brazilian club would pocket R$68.2 million . It's worth noting that Muniz scored in Fulham's Premier League debut, drawing the match against the Brighton club.
The striker has a contract with Fulham until June 2026 and has been attracting attention from other Premier League giants. In recent months, names such as Tottenham, Newcastle, and Leeds United have emerged as potential interested parties in signing him.
While monitoring the international market from afar, Flamengo remains focused on the ongoing competitions. The team led by Filipe Luís takes the field this Wednesday (20), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), against Internacional, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores.

According to information from UOL, Rubro-Negro presented an offer of seven million euros (approximately R$45 million) for 60% of the economic rights of Gabriel Brazão, Santos' standout goalkeeper in 2025. Despite the significant amount, the Santos board chose not to advance in the negotiations.
"I received the offer, I left it with the club, and the club took the direction it thought best. I'm happy here (at Santos), and I want to bring joy to Santos fans again. I'm with the club until the end and I'll keep working," Brazão declared.
Early in the afternoon of this Monday (18), Gazeta do Urubu once again sought sources from the board about the case. Therefore, people linked to Flamengo revealed that the athlete is being monitored, but there was never an official proposal.
With 33 appearances in 2025, Gabriel Brazão has established himself as a key player in the Santos squad . The board, which has already released João Paulo on loan to Bahia, considers it crucial to keep him at least until the end of the season, even with the pressure from major clubs.
The move comes at a time of transition at the goalkeeper position in Flamengo 's squad. With Matheus Cunha confirmed to be leaving for Cruzeiro starting in 2025, the board is looking for market options to strengthen the position and keep the squad competitive.
