After a shaky start to the season and a busy transfer window , midfielder Lorran has once again become a key player in Flamengo's youth ranks . At just 18 years old, the young talent scored goals in two consecutive matches for the under-20 team in the Brazilian Championship, once again taking the spotlight at Ninho do Urubu.
GOALS AGAINST FLUMINENSE AND CUIABÁ


Last week , Lorran was decisive when he scored the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Fluminense, in a game held in Moça Bonita. Last Sunday, he repeated the feat and scored in the 3-0 win over Cuiabá, in Gávea. The good sequence rekindles the club's hope that the midfielder can regain his place on the national scene, even after turbulent times.


NEGOTIATION WITH CSKA WAS GIVEN AS CERTAIN


Lorran was very close to leaving the club at the beginning of the year . Outside of Filipe Luís's coaching staff's plans for the main team, the player's transfer to CSKA, from Russia, was practically closed. The negotiations were so advanced that the athlete even went to the airport to board a flight to Moscow.

Despite the verbal agreement , Mais Querido decided to cancel the deal, claiming that they had not received the necessary documentation from the Russians within the stipulated deadline. As a result, the youngster ended up staying at the club, still without a place in the professional team, which generated uncertainty about his next steps. After the episode with CSKA, another club entered the radar: Fortaleza . The possibility of a loan to the Ceará team was considered, but the negotiation did not progress. CRF then decided to reinstate Lorran to the under-20 team as part of a new physical and technical development plan for the athlete.


Internally, the board's idea is that the base will continue to be used as a strategic space for preparing young talents. In Lorran's case, the goal is for him to take advantage of the sequence of games to regain rhythm and confidence, thus being able to earn a new chance in the main squad or even be involved in another future negotiation.

Flamengo has once again been approached by European clubs interested in one of its most talked-about prospects: midfielder Lorran. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pisa, recently promoted to the Italian football elite, made a loan offer for the player, but the terms of the negotiation did not please the red-black board, which chose to reject the proposal.


With the decision, the club kept Lorran in the under-20 squad , where he competes in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Despite being away from the main squad, the youngster continues to stand out with good performances and technical moves in training, which continues to arouse the interest of teams outside the country.


PISA RETURNS TO ITALIAN SERIES A AFTER 34 YEARS


Pisa is experiencing a historic moment after securing promotion to Italy's Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.

Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder. Information from the portal “RTI Esportes” reveals that the French club met with José Boto , an executive with a history in European football, to evaluate the viability of a proposal of €15 million (approximately R$96.7 million).


NEGOTIATIONS WITH RUSSIA CLUBS

This is not the first time that Lorran's future has been discussed. Earlier this year, the player was very close to a transfer to CSKA in Russia , but the deal was cancelled in the final moments. The Rio de Janeiro club's board also sought a possible loan transfer to Estoril in Portugal, without success.

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.


The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.


NO SPACE IN THE CAST


Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.

Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.


PASSING TURKEY

During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.
