The Flamengo is keeping an eye on yet another international talent to reinforce its squad. According to information from journalist Sebas Giovanelli, from Sport 890, the Rio club is interested in signing right-winger Facundo Pellistri, who currently belongs to Manchester United and is on loan at Granada.
Facundo Pellistri, 22 years old , is a promise of Uruguayan football that has attracted attention on the international scene. Valued at 8 million euros, approximately 46 million reais at the current price, the young player has shown potential both in clubs and in the Uruguayan national team. He is on the squad list for the 2024 Copa América, where he will share the field with other Flamengo athletes.
ANOTHER DIG IN FLAMENGO?
If the signing comes to fruition,< a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/flamengo-nao-fara-homenagens-a-everton-ribeiro-direito-entende-que-encerrou-se-o-ciclo" target="_blank"> Pellistri < /a>he would become the fifth Uruguayan player in Flamengo's squad, joining De La Cruz, Arrascaeta, Viña and Varela. This integration could facilitate the young man's adaptation to the new team, as he would already have teammates alongside him. The presence of compatriots is always a positive point for any player, helping with the atmosphere and performance on the field.
Pellistri's arrival can be seen as a great reinforcement for Flamengo. At just 22 years old, he already has experience at major European clubs and has the potential to grow even further. His regular call-up to the Uruguayan national team is an indication of his talent and ability.

Flamengo begins its journey towards the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores this Thursday (18) . The first leg against Estudiantes (ARG) will be held at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), and will have a full house.

The team will have important reinforcements. Striker Bruno Henrique and full-back Varela , who were absent last Sunday (14) against Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , trained normally this Tuesday (16) and should be available to the coach again.
Despite their returns, Rubro-Negro will remain without midfielder Jorginho, full-back Alex Sandro, and defensive midfielder Pulgar , who are still recovering. The likely lineup for the game includes: Rossi; Royal (Varela), Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas (Viña); Saúl, De La Cruz (Allan), Arrascaeta; Plata, Samuel Lino, and Pedro.
Fans will be able to watch the match live on ESPN (pay TV) and Disney+ (streaming). The second leg will be held next week in La Plata, Argentina, and will determine who advances to the semifinals.

Despite being signed only in the last transfer window, Saúl Ñíguez has already become one of the most important players in Flamengo's squad . The Spanish midfielder arrived at the club on a free transfer and quickly established himself in the starting lineup.
Spanish newspaper Marca highlighted the athlete's rapid adaptation. " The former Atlético de Madrid player arrived at Flamengo with the mission of becoming an important player and maintaining a prominent role in the starting lineup . His adaptation didn't take long," the publication reported.
According to the publication, Saúl is experiencing "a second youth" in Brazilian football and has already established himself as a key midfielder. Despite only registering one assist in eight games , he has played a more defensive role in Filipe Luís's team.
In the victory over Juventude, in the Brazilian Championship , Saúl started alongside Allan in midfield and provided the assist for Arrascaeta's goal in the 31st minute of the first half.
Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, to face Estudiantes, for the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores. Saúl Ñíguez should once again be among the starters for the red-black team.
