Flamengo is in negotiations to reinforce its squad in the next transfer window, with midfielder Oscar being the main target. On the other hand, a player speculated at the club at the beginning of the season, Maurício, could be about to wear the shirt of rival Botafogo, with the financing being made possible by John Textor, known for his important transactions, such as the signing of Luiz Henrique.


Maurício, a player previously reported at the Rubro-Negro club, can now find his destiny at Botafogo, driven by a strategy by Textor, who is interested in consolidating the player at black and white and, later, trading him for a European club.


According to information from the TNT Sports portal, Internacional established a value of 9.5 million euros (approximately R$50.8 million) for 70% of Mauritius' economic rights. Meanwhile, Corinthians also showed interest in the player, trying to negotiate with Internacional.


However, the club from Rio Grande do Sul initially resisted the sale of the 22-year-old player. Flamengo, although the player was offered, chose not to move forward with the negotiation, as they consider that the position is not a priority in the current squad.



OSCAR MAY BE PACKED FOR FLAMENGO

Midfielder Oscar is about to fulfill his dream of returning to Brazilian football. After remarkable spells at international clubs, the player is on his way to joining Flamengo. The Magazine found that talks between the parties are advanced, and could result in the signing of a pre-contract in the coming days.

Currently linked to Shanghai Port, in China, Oscar has already decided that he will not remain at the club after the end of his contract, scheduled for November this year. His preference for Flamengo is evident, as previously revealed by the Magazine. The player already had a verbal agreement with the Rio club until December 2023, which indicated his intention to return to Brazil.

Cruz Azul got straight to the point: it sent an official proposal to Flamengo and even called Arrascaeta's representatives. The response was firm. According to reports, the Rio de Janeiro club's board of directors vetoed any negotiations and reiterated that there is no intention of negotiating the midfielder at this time. The contact took place a few days after the end of Flamengo's participation in the Club World Cup, where the number 10 was the star player.


The Mexican attempt involved the possibility of taking him to play in the Intercontinental Cup in December. The only hypothesis raised by Rubro-Negro for a possible departure of Arrascaeta would be the full payment of the contractual fine. The amount is considered unrealistic by Cruz Azul: 50 million euros (around R$ 295 million at the current exchange rate).


ARRASCAETA MAY LEAVE FLAMENGO


Mexican sports director Iván Alonso was the one who led the talks. He even spoke with José Boto , Flamengo's football executive, but was told directly that the fine is non-negotiable and that there is no room for any type of payment in installments. Arrascaeta , 31, is the main name in the squad led by Filipe Luís.

TOP SCORER, PLAYER AND A NEW MOMENT FOR MENGÃO


The team's top scorer in 2025, he has 13 goals and six assists so far. His performance in the Club World Cup reinforced international interest and attracted attention, but Flamengo considers the Uruguayan an essential piece for the current sporting project. The player's contract runs until December 2026. Even so, Cruz Azul was betting on the possibility of seducing him with an ambitious project in Mexican football, where he would lead the reconstruction of the squad with a view to the international season.

Despite the various inquiries that have been coming in behind the scenes, Flamengo has maintained a cautious stance. The club is in a stable financial situation and does not feel pressure to negotiate with players. The board is even working to maintain the core of the squad at least until the end of 2025. José Boto made it clear internally that any negotiation will only be considered if the values are irresistible, which was not the case with the Mexican offer for Arrascaeta.

Flamengo takes to the field this Wednesday (19), at 5 pm (Brasília time), at Hard Rock Stadium, in Miami, to face Bayern Munich in the round of 16 of the Club World Cup. Before the ball starts rolling, Filipe Luís gave an interview and explained the main decisions made in the red-black lineup.


DECISIONS IN FLAMENGO'S FRONT


The coach bluntly praised the team's week of preparation and justified the changes in relation to the team that beat Chelsea in the previous round. One of the most talked about changes was the inclusion of Alex Sandro as a starter at left back. Ayrton Lucas, who played against Espérance and Chelsea, starts on the bench this time. Filipe explained that the choice was strategic, taking into account the tactical fit and the idea for the start of the match.


Another change involves the defensive system. Léo Ortiz returns to the starting lineup in place of Danilo, reinforcing the defense against an opponent with a very high technical level. The defender had been rested and now returns as a key player in the duel against Bayern. The choice reinforces Filipe's confidence in the depth of the squad, which has offered quality options in different areas of the field.

BRUNO HENRIQUE HAS AN OPTION


Despite expectations that Bruno Henrique could take over as a starter, especially after his recent good performances, the number 27 will start on the bench. Arrascaeta will continue to be a starter in midfield. Filipe was direct when talking about the decision. “It’s not a question of merit. Bruno Henrique is in great form, but we also think about the dynamics of the match. Having key players on the bench is part of the plan,” he explained.

The coach did not hide his satisfaction with the team's performance in training before the match. According to him, the days in Miami were valuable both for physical recovery and for technical and tactical adjustments.
