MATHEUS GONÇALVES WITHOUT OPPORTUNITIES MAY BE LEAVING FLAMENGO, THE PLAYER WAITS FOR PROPOSALS

Pursuing a transfer abroad presents its own challenges

25 Jun 2024 | 16:39 |

No Flamengo, the situation of midfielder Matheus Gonçalves, just 18 years old, has become increasingly complicated. With few chances to play, the young talent sees his future in a dilemma. According to Venê Casagrande, his managers, realizing the lack of opportunities at Rubro-Negro, are working intensely to find a proposal from abroad that can offer Matheus the visibility and playing time he needs to continue his development as an athlete.

In the domestic market, the possibility of a permanent transfer to another Brazilian club is considered remote. This is due to the high value that Flamengo intends to obtain from selling the young man. On the other hand, the option of a loan is also not viable, as Flamengo is not willing to reinforce possible rivals in the national competition. The club's board, as is customary, is open to evaluating proposals that may eventually arrive, but so far, no concrete negotiations have been carried out.

FLAMENGO HAS A NEW INVESTMENT FOR EXIT

Matheus Gonçalves< /a> is seen as a promising player since Flamengo's youth categories. With his technical ability and vision of the game, he quickly stood out among his peers, catching the attention of coaches and fans. However, the transition to the first team was not as smooth as expected. The strong competition for positions and the preference for more experienced players limited Matheus' appearances in the starting team.

This lack of minutes on the field is a cause for concern for both the player and his agents, who believe that Matheus needs more playing time to evolve and show your full potential. With the aim of not stagnating the young man's career, they are exploring alternatives outside the country, where Matheus could find a more favorable environment for his progression.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory.
