The window closed last Monday, and Flamengo was unable to sign Deivid Washington. When the lights went out, Chelsea agreed to release the 19-year-old athlete on loan without an option to purchase on condition that Rubro-Negro pays half of his salary. But the Rio club didn't agree.
The player and his agents understood that Flamengo was the best destination, even with the interest of Rio Ave, from Portugal. Both considered Rubro-Negro to be a good showcase and the fact that they were competing in three competitions also had an impact. They managed to convince the English, who, in the last hours of the window, agreed to release the player.
But Flamengo did not agree and, as they were in the last hours of the window, the clubs ran out of time to continue negotiations . The red and black salary bill is among the most expensive in the country and was valued at more than R$20 million per month even before the hiring of Michael, Alex Sandro, Carlos Alcaraz and Gonzalo Plata.
The negotiation was considered very difficult, since the English were irreducible and the clubs needed to enter the documentation in the FIFA system by 00:00 (Brasília time). In this window, Fla spent R$110 million for the Argentine midfielder and R$24 million for the Ecuadorian. The Brazilian duo was free on the market.
The coach was incisive in his words

The night after the 1-0 defeat to Peñarol, coach Tite was faced with a barrage of criticism from Flamengo fans. The result did not please many, and the pressure increased considerably on the coach. In a press conference, Tite addressed these reactions calmly, highlighting that criticism is a natural reflection of the fans' passion for the club, especially in moments of frustration with the results on the field.
The coach's statements did not deny the seriousness of the situation, but he opted for an optimistic approach. Tite believes that, with work and a good performance in the second leg, Flamengo can reverse the situation and regain the fans' confidence.
FLAMENGO HAS ITS NEW PROBLEMSFlamengo entered on the field against Peñarol in an important match, with great expectations of a good result. However, the 1-0 home defeat was a blow to the fans and put more pressure on the squad and coaching staff. Flamengo, one of the most successful clubs and with the biggest fans in Brazil, tends to deal with the constant expectation of victories and good performance. When these objectives are not achieved, reactions are quick to emerge.
The defeat left the team in a delicate situation in the competition, which makes the second leg even more decisive. The need for a positive result in the second match against Peñarol is not only to advance in the competition, but also to calm the spirits of a fan base that is increasingly demanding.
The club has its irreparable loss

In the last round of the Libertadores group stage, Flamengo, now under the command of coach Tite, saw its long undefeated streak as home team come to an end. The 1-0 defeat marked the end of a run of 28 matches without losing at home in the competition. The negative result was a shock for the fans, mainly because it occurred at a crucial moment in the season and because of the expectations surrounding the team led by a renowned coach like Tite.
The last time Flamengo had been defeated at Maracanã by the Libertadores was in April 2019, when Peñarol beat the red-black team by the same score of 1-0. The current setback, therefore, brought back memories of that game, creating a feeling of déjà vu among fans . It is worth remembering that, at that time, Flamengo was in a moment of transition and seeking to consolidate itself as one of the powers of South American football.
With the arrival of Tite at the helm of Flamengo, the expectation was that the team would gain tactical consistency and competitiveness in important tournaments, such as the Libertadores itself. Tite, who has a respected CV, mainly for his work in the Brazilian national team, was hired with the mission of making Flamengo become dominant again both on the national and international scene.
The defeat at home, however , served as a cold water for part of the fans who expected a quiet victory. Their unbeaten record at home was seen as one of Flamengo's trump cards in continental competition, a guarantee of strength within their domains. By losing this status, the team will now need to deal with the pressure and doubts that arise from this result.

Name that was targeted by Flamengo in the last window and which could return to Mengão's radar at the beginning of next year to replace Pedro, Deivid Washington has been underutilized at Chelsea. However, in the English club's under-21 squad, he is one of the team's highlights, scoring a great goal this Sunday.
In the match against Brentford, valid for the Premier League Cup, the young Brazilian striker was responsible for a beautiful volley goal, which tied the match at 1-1, before Chelsea came back and won 6-3. Check it out here.
Deivid Washington almost came to Flamengo before Pedro's injury. One of the targets in the middle of the year, he was close to being a reinforcement even before the striker's injury. A 19-year-old center forward, Deivid would arrive to wear the Sacred Mantle on a loan until the end of December 2024, with Rubro-Negro paying most of his salary.
However, a negotiation that seemed right , with Chelsea willing to accept Flamengo's proposal and Deivid Washington interested in playing for the Rio club, was frustrated by a last-minute decision from the English. The London team decided to prioritize direct loan offers from Europe, believing in better experience and preparation, including having already received proposals from Portugal.
A few days later, Pedro would be injured while serving the Brazilian team, and Deivid Washington, who would be an immediate solution, became an option only for next year.
