This Friday afternoon (08) it's been beyond busy at Ninho do Urubu. That's because Flamengo officially presented Léo Ortiz, third reinforcement for the 2024 season. During the interview, Rubro-Negro's newest player thanked Mengão's board of directors for their effort in signing him. Furthermore, he stated that the opportunity to play for Fla is not something that happens twice.
— Thank you for everyone's welcome. Thank you to Bruno (Spindel) and (Marcos) Braz for the opportunity and for making it clear that they would go all the way for me to be here. And it was a commitment on both sides that we would go as far as we could for this agreement to happen -, he began.
— And as Braz said, from the first day we talked, I explained my will. Within Bragantino too, with great respect, I made it clear on the subject. It was a unique opportunity that doesn't knock twice on the door. I couldn't miss the opportunity to be here. The biggest club in Brazil. Now, it's the good part, which is playing -, concluded Léo Ortiz.
Signed for 7 million euros (R$37.6 million at current prices), Léo Ortiz was an old wish of the Flamengo board . In addition to the fixed amount, if the player wins titles with the red and black shirt, Mengão will have to pay another 1 million euros (R$ 5.3 million) in bonuses to Red Bull Bragantino.

Today is an important game day for Flamengo in the Brazilian Championship . Mengão hosts Mirassol in the 19th round, and last of the first half, of the Brasileirão this Saturday (9) at 6:30 pm (Brasília time). Mais Querido needs the victory to remain in first place in the table , while Leão wants to enter the G4 of the competition.
One of the possible new players is Jorge Carrascal , who did not play in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético-MG due to not being registered, but is available for the Brasileirão. The Colombian is available to coach Filipe Luís for the first time since his arrival at Flamengo .
Coach Filipe Luís will be without key players for the match : Danilo, with a hamstring injury in his right thigh; De La Cruz, who is doing strength and mobility work at the gym due to a knee injury; and Erick Pulgar, who is recovering from surgery on the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, following an injury during the Club World Cup. Meanwhile, Jorginho is suspended for accumulating yellow cards.
On the other hand, there will be important reinforcements . Luiz Araújo and Bruno Henrique, who were on weight training due to pain and fatigue , trained normally in recent days and are available again. The former competes for a spot with Plata, while the latter could play as a false nine. Michael, who has recovered from a left ankle injury, is also returning, but is expected to start on the bench.
The defender left Mengão for Milan in 2019, but never established himself in the elite of European football and could be back in Rio de Janeiro.

Vasco is interested in signing defender Léo Duarte , currently with İstanbul Başakşehir in Turkey, to bolster its defense for the remainder of the season . The information was released by the Canak Vasco portal, in partnership with VDG-Cast.
Despite the interest, negotiations are seen as difficult. Léo Duarte is a regular starter and a key player for the Turkish club, making a quick release unlikely. The defender has already played 174 matches for Başakşehir, scoring two goals and providing four assists.
Vasco is also monitoring other defensive players, including Colombian Carlos Cuesta. The board is looking to expand its options to address one of the main needs of Fernando Diniz's squad : the arrival of an experienced defender.
Revealed in Flamengo 's youth ranks, Léo Duarte left the club in 2019. During his time playing for Rubro-Negro, he won two Campeonato Carioca titles (2017 and 2019) . The defender worked for about a month with Jorge Jesus before being sold to Milan (ITA), his first European club.
In Europe, he failed to establish himself at Milan and was loaned to İstanbul Başakşehir, who later acquired his rights permanently . He's currently enjoying a good run of form in Turkish football, which makes Vasco's move difficult.

The Ninho boys are in the final stretch of preparation for the U-20 World Cup final . On August 23, Flamengo faces Barcelona (ESP) at 4:30 pm (Brasília time) at Maracanã. Among the standouts, Matheus Gonçalves has already made himself available for the duel .
On social media, the club released promotional art for the match featuring the midfielder . Matheus reposted the post, reinforcing expectations that Bruno Pivetti will be used in the final. The midfielder was part of the U-20 World Cup-winning team last season, with the victory over Olympiacos.
The player was close to being traded to Cruzeiro and even reached an agreement with Pedro Lourenço, president of the Minas Gerais State Football Association (SAF). However, Flamengo opted to keep him. Without many opportunities under Filipe Luís, Matheus asked to play for the under-20s , where he excelled and returned to the professional squad.
Matheus Gonçalves remains one of the main names for a possible departure from Flamengo . Besides Cruzeiro, Red Bull Bragantino has also expressed interest in signing the midfielder. On the international market, CSKA Moscow has already signaled to Mengão that it intends to make an official offer in the coming days.
Even with the focus on the U-20 World Cup, Matheus Gonçalves remains available for the main team and may be related to the match against Mirassol , this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brasileirão. The broadcast will be exclusive to Premiere, via pay-per-view.
