In early 2025, Cruzeiro showed interest in Luiz Araújo, even proposing a trade involving midfielder Matheus Pereira. Flamengo, in turn, considered the striker a key player in the squad and chose not to continue with the negotiations. In an official statement, Flamengo confirmed the trade proposal, but stressed that the talks did not progress . Cruzeiro, on the other hand, stated that the offer came from an intermediary and not from the club's board.

Luiz Araújo himself spoke about the matter, emphasizing his satisfaction in playing for Flamengo and his desire to win important titles with the club. "I'm very happy here. It's the club I dreamed of playing for and I still have a very big dream, which is to be champion of the Libertadores and win a Brazilian championship," declared the striker .
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AT RUBRO-NEGRO
Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Luiz Araújo has been consistently performing. This season, the forward has already scored three goals and provided two assists in seven matches, establishing himself as a key player in coach Filipe Luís's scheme. With Luiz Araújo staying, Flamengo remains focused on its goals for the year, seeking to further strengthen the squad and win important titles on the national and international scene.
After the failed attempt to sign Luiz Araújo , Cruzeiro remains active in the market in search of reinforcements that can add quality to the team and meet the fans' expectations for the season. Luiz Araújo's permanence at Flamengo is seen positively by the fans, who hope to see him shine in competitions such as the Brazilian Championship and the Libertadores, contributing to Mengão's success.
Luiz Araújo's decision to stay at Flamengo reinforces the athlete's commitment to the club and its goals , fueling the hope of new achievements and remarkable moments for the red-black nation. With a strengthened squad and committed players, Flamengo is preparing to face the challenges of the season, seeking to consolidate itself as one of the main forces in Brazilian and South American football.

Flamengo said goodbye to the Women's Copa do Brasil this Wednesday (17), after a 1-0 defeat to São Paulo, in the quarterfinals of the tournament. After the final whistle, striker Cristiane spoke out and made harsh criticisms of the refereeing.
Flamengo's Cristiane, after elimination from the Copa do Brasil: "It was biased refereeing"
"Everyone saw today's match , no need to even talk about it. The refereeing was biased, and it also went wrong in São Paulo's favor. But when the refereeing ends up deciding the match, it gets complicated . I don't know the choices made for a game as big as this, Flamengo vs. São Paulo," the player declared.
She continued: " Unfortunately, today had a big impact on us . We've made significant progress compared to the beginning of the year, that's clear. But when the refereeing has a direct impact, it gets difficult," Cristiane concluded.
The first half of the derby was evenly matched. São Paulo started better, but after 20 minutes, Flamengo began to control possession. Even so, neither team managed to score before halftime . In the second half, the São Paulo team came back with more intensity and capitalized on a defensive lapse. Duda Serrana appeared unmarked to score the winning goal and secure the tricolor's place in the semifinals.
After being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, the Meninas da Gávea return to the field this Saturday (20), for their debut in the Campeonato Carioca, against Búzios, at 3 pm (Brasília time). Flamengo is the current state champion and holds the hegemony in women's football in Rio , with eight titles won so far.
