The council chose to be "cautious" at this time

In recent days, Flamengo's board decided not to move forward in the search for a replacement for Pedro, who is injured. Although the possibility of signing a new striker was considered, the idea lost strength and, now, the club is inclined to maintain the current squad without looking for a replacement on the market.
The scenario began to change when the Flamengo received several offers from players to make up for Pedro's absence. Clubs and businesspeople saw the attacker's injury as an opportunity to present names to Rubro-Negro, hoping that the board would choose to bring a new player to the attack. However, the club was not excited about the options offered.
The main reason for the decision not to go to the market is related to the high investment that would be necessary to bring in a quality player compatible with the current squad. . Flamengo has already made major signings in recent years and, given the financial conditions and strategic planning, the club considers that a new major investment is not viable at this time.
Another factor that weighed on the decision was the restricted market. In this transfer window, the options for attackers who could really add to the team are limited. Many of the players offered do not meet the technical standards required by the coaching staff and the board. Furthermore, Flamengo understands that bringing an athlete who is not 100% physically or in full shape could be more harmful than beneficial, considering the demands of the season.
The physical conditions of potential competitors Internals also influenced the choice. Flamengo's current squad has other attackers who can take on the position of Pedro during his absence, and the coaching staff trusts that these players have the ability to maintain the team's level of competitiveness. The understanding is that betting on athletes already integrated into the squad can be a more practical and effective solution, avoiding the need to adapt a new player at a crucial moment of the season.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Flamengo will no longer make signings in 2024, this is what Marcos Braz guarantees. After qualifying for the semifinals of the Copa do Brasil, this Thursday (12), the vice-president of red-black football gave an interview in the mixed zone of Maracanã and confirmed that the club considered hiring a new striker after Pedro's injury. But the board's final decision is to trust the attackers who are in the squad.
“We believe in the end. There were four hired at the beginning of the year, four now. We raised the hypothesis of bringing in a striker, but we understood, talking to everyone, that it was bringing someone to actually solve it”, began Braz after Flamengo 1 x 0 Bahia.
The manager recalled that Gabigol and Bruno Henrique has already been very decisive with the Sacred Mantle and has all the capacity to take over the top scorer spot. Camisa 27, in fact, was the author of the assist for the winning goal this Thursday.
“Whoever we have here has solved our problem many times, like Gabigol, Bruno 9, as he did today. Flamengo has already closed the window. Let's go with what we have until the end, recovering players. Gabigol returned today.”.
Some attackers were offered after Pedro suffered a serious injury while serving the national team. The name that gained the most traction within Flamengo was that of Frenchman Anthony Martial, formerly of Manchester United, but the deal did not move forward. Now, Marcos Braz confirms that Mengão is no longer on the market.
Flamengo signed this season: De La Cruz, Viña, Léo Ortiz, Carlinhos, Michael, Alex Sandro, Carlos Alcaraz and Gonzalo Plata. Reinforcements that together cost R$298.2 million to the club's coffers.
“It happens in football. Gabriel solved our problems several times and resolved them well. I'm not casting, but there's Bruno Henrique himself, Carlinhos. We are comfortable (with these attackers) for the competitions”, added Braz.
Marcos Braz admits Gabigol's departure from FlamengoGabigol was the main theme of the football vice interview. Asked once again about a possible contract renewal, Braz finally acknowledged that the trend is for Camisa 99 to leave at the end of the season.
“There may be a chance of contract renewal. It’s not impossible, but, unfortunately, it’s unlikely today”, concluded Marcos Braz.
