Libertadores: In Flamengo's group, Central Córdoba beats Deportivo Táchira

Flamengo's promising young striker Wallace Yan has caught the attention of two Premier League clubs: Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers. According to Sport Witness , both have expressed interest in signing the player, but Flamengo has yet to decide whether it will negotiate with the red-and-black star in the next transfer window.

According to the publication, Crystal Palace appears to have an advantage over Wolverhampton in the attempt to sign him , but there is no confirmation that Rubro-Negro will give up on the athlete in January, despite the few recent opportunities.

TERMINATION FEE AND CONTRACT

Wallace Yan recently renewed his contract with Flamengo, resulting in a salary increase and an increased release clause. GE reports that the striker's contract is €60 million, equivalent to approximately R$375 million at the current exchange rate. This amount makes negotiations complex, even with interest from European clubs.

The player's most brilliant moment for the club was during the Club World Cup , including scoring the goals against Chelsea in a 3-1 victory over the Blues. Since then, he has lost his place in Filipe Luís's squad.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT CHALLENGE

While Wallace Yan's future is being monitored internationally, Flamengo is focusing on the Brasileirão championship. The Rio de Janeiro team's next match will be against Cruzeiro, on Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm , at Maracanã, for the 25th round of Série A. The match is considered decisive, as it pits the top two teams in the competition against each other, with Flamengo leading with 54 points.

Flamengo is enjoying a great run under Filipe Luís , leading the Brasileirão and reaching the Copa Libertadores semifinals. With a roster packed with options, the competition for playing time is intense , but it also leaves some players in a delicate situation.

One of the most talked-about cases is that of Allan. The midfielder, despite receiving opportunities, failed to perform as expected and became the target of criticism from the fans . Speculation suggests that Jorge Sampaoli, currently at Atlético-MG, would be interested in re-signing the player he requested during his time with the club.

However, a potential transfer would require a significant investment. According to journalist Lucas Tanaka, Flamengo intends to recoup around 80% of the amount invested with the Minas Gerais club, approximately R$35 million.

MICHAEL MAY LEAVE FLAMENGO

Another name in the spotlight is Michael , who has lost his place in the squad and has already expressed his desire to leave the club in search of more playing time. The striker is being closely monitored by Corinthians , who see the possibility of strengthening their squad with the red-and-black player. The situation is expected to gain new chapters in the next transfer window.

FLAMENGO RECEIVES CRUZEIRO

Flamengo 's next match will be this Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm, at Maracanã, against Cruzeiro. The match, valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão Betano, is considered decisive as it pits the top two teams in the table against each other.

After winning the Copa Libertadores with Fluminense, Jhon Arias left Brazilian football after the Club World Cup and joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in England. At his new club, the Colombian has started the last few matches but has yet to establish himself.

So far, he hasn't scored any goals and is struggling to adapt to English football. Even so, Arias remains focused on Europe. The midfielder recently stated that his goal is to perform in English football, but he doesn't rule out a return to Brazil in the future.

FLAMENGO FOLLOWS THE COLOMBIAN

According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, Flamengo has already made an initial inquiry into the player. Although negotiations are not underway, Flamengo is seen as one of the few teams in Brazil able to offer salaries close to those earned in Europe.

" Obviously, Arias prioritizes staying in Europe; he just arrived there. He wants to perform for his team. But if that doesn't happen, only Flamengo can offer a salary close to what he earns in Europe," said Fabrício. It's worth remembering that the next transfer window won't open for another three months, so any official moves are unlikely to happen until after that period.

JHON ARIAS' FUTURE

The number 10's future is still up in the air. Arias would prioritize Fluminense if he returns to Brazilian football , but he's not closing the door on Flamengo , which is closely monitoring the situation. The midfielder's performance in the coming months will be crucial in determining the future of his career.
