Lorran is a versatile player who stands out in all positions from midfield to forward, which is an important difference, especially in a scenario where versatility is highly valued in modern football. His talent does not go unnoticed within the club, and since the youth categories he has been treated as a project to be polished with caution.


However, with Tite's arrival, the expectation was that he could gain more minutes in the first team, which has not yet fully materialized. The fact that he plays in positions that require skill and intelligence to articulate the game is something that puts him at a standout level.


A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LORRAN


In Filipe Luís' view, Lorran has enormous potential , especially due to his ability to quickly understand and adapt to the tactical roles assigned to him. Praised for being a player who combines physical strength, speed and precision in passing, he is seen by many as the natural successor to Arrascaeta, an idol and reference in the red-black team's setup.

A BIG DIFFERENTIAL IN THE CAST 


A The comparison is not made for nothing: his main position is that of central playmaker, the same as Arrascaeta, but he has already demonstrated ability as a right winger and even as a false 9, highlighting his ability to improvise and his eye for goal. Given this potential, Flamengo's management acted quickly to guarantee the athlete's stay for a long period. Recently, Lorran renewed his contract with the club until December 2029< /a> and had the termination fine increased to an impressive100 million euros (around R$607 million).

This movement highlights the confidence that Flamengo places in the young man's talent and is also a way of shielding the player from the attacks of European clubs, which often monitor the promises of Brazilian football. Furthermore, the significant value of the fine places Lorran as one of the greatest protected jewels on the national scene, alongside names that have already emerged in professional football.

5 points about Michael's negotiation: Flamengo only accepts a definitive sale

The player is on the radar of foreign clubs, but his departure depends on one clear condition: he will only be released in the event of a definitive offer.

In recent days, a Middle Eastern team approached Flamengo with the intention of loaning Michael , but the Rio de Janeiro club's response was blunt: no . The proposal was rejected by president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as BAP, who ruled out any possibility of releasing the striker on loan.


According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Flamengo "is only willing to do business if there are definitive offers." The board believes the striker still has a market and will only leave Ninho do Urubu if concrete financial compensation is received.


THE PLAYER ASKED FOR THE MOST LOVED ONE TO LEAVE


Michael, nicknamed "Little Robot" by the fans, has expressed his desire to leave. With limited space under Filipe Luís, the striker was not included in the squad for the last match against Santos and remained in Rio to treat ankle pain. Internally, he has already informed the coaching staff that he prefers to seek new surroundings.

FUTURE PROBLEMS


Despite this, Flamengo is being cautious. Michael's contract runs until 2028 and he earns one of the highest salaries in the squad, which limits his options on the market. One of the clubs monitoring the situation is Qatar's Al-Duhail, but no official offer has been submitted yet. The board is treating the situation cautiously. Although the player is considered negotiable, there is no rush to sell him.

Flamengo understands that Michael could be useful throughout the season if no advantageous offers emerge. Therefore, the refusal to loan him is strategic. The ideal scenario for Flamengo is to find a permanent buyer during this window, which would generate revenue and free up space on the payroll. However, with the Asian market still buoyant, the club has not ruled out further inquiries in the coming days.

Another name under the spotlight is Pedro . The number 9 is not having the best time at the club and was left out of the match against Santos after public criticism from coach Filipe Luís. His situation is seen as delicate . Palmeiras was even mentioned as interested, but ruled out any approach due to the game limit in the Brasileirão. Even so, negotiations with foreign clubs are still possible this window.

Flamengo sued Leixões, of Portugal, at FIFA over a debt related to the transfer of striker Werton. In July 2024, the red-and-black club sold 70% of the player's rights for €1 million (R$5.8 million at the then exchange rate).


The club filed a complaint with FIFA's Player Status Resolution Chamber. Leixões was supposed to pay the first installment, €175,000 (R$1.1 million), in November 2024. Flamengo demanded payment from the Portuguese club in January but has not received the amount.


The last charge was on January 14, 2025, when Flamengo gave Leixões 48 hours to pay the adjusted amount - 196,700 euros (R$1.2 million). The Portuguese team once again failed to comply with the agreement, and Flamengo went to FIFA to collect the debt, including fines, interest, and monetary correction.



FIFA HAS GIVEN ITS VERDICT AND PUNISHED THE PORTUGUESE CLUB


On Tuesday afternoon, Flamengo issued a statement on its official website , informing that FIFA had punished Leixões with a well-deserved transfer ban . This means that the Portuguese club will not be able to register new players.


FOLLOW THE NOTE

"Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that Leixões SC, from Portugal, was punished by FIFA with a Transfer Ban due to a debt with the Rio de Janeiro club, regarding the transfer of the athlete Werton. The decision of the highest entity of world football recognized Flamengo's request. Leixões will be prevented from registering new players for up to three transfer windows, or until the amount of 175 thousand euros is paid to the red-black club. The sanction comes into effect from this Tuesday (15)."


WERTON AT FLAMENGO

A highly successful player in Flamengo's youth academy, he was a gem of the club's nest. Werton made his professional debut for Flamengo in 2021, but never received many opportunities. He left the club with one goal in 12 games.
