A year after his departure from Palmeiras and his subsequent attempt to establish himself in European football, Gustavo Scarpa is now considering a return to Brazil. According to information gathered by Terra, several Brazilian clubs are aware of the possibility of counting on the player's talent, including Flamengo, São Paulo, Palmeiras, Fluminense and Atlético-MG. Loaned by Nottingham Forest to Olympiacos, Scarpa has not achieved the desired prominence in Greece, and his situation has become even more uncertain due to his absence from the English club's plans.
In light of this, his return to Brazilian football presents itself as an opportunity that could not only rescue his career, but also put him back on the radar of the Brazilian team. Both Flamengo and Palmeiras tried to sign Scarpa during the last transfer window, however, both negotiations did not progress due to Nottingham Forest's resistance to releasing him.
In Europe, the midfielder participated in 17 appearances, 10 for Nottingham Forest and seven for Olympiacos, however, he failed to score goals or provide assists during this period. São Paulo is the latest club to enter the race for Scarpa's signature and is planning a move for a season-long loan. However, the club recognizes the difficulties in competing with teams that have substantially greater financial power, such as Flamengo and Palmeiras.
The possibility of Scarpa returning to Brazil raises several questions about his performance and adaptation to European football , which so far have not been ideal. His career in European football has been marked by challenges and a lack of opportunities to show his potential. In a scenario of uncertainty, his return to Brazil could represent a new beginning in his career, offering him the opportunity to regain his rhythm and reaffirm his talent in a more familiar environment. Furthermore, Brazilian football has proven to be a springboard for players who aspire to a place in the Brazilian National Team, something that is certainly on their mind.
The interests demonstrated by prestigious clubs, such as Flamengo, São Paulo, Palmeiras and others highlight Gustavo Scarpa's quality as a player. His possible return to Brazil could be one of the most followed stories on the Brazilian sports scene in 2024. For now, everything is still in the field of speculation, but Gustavo Scarpa's future in football continues to intrigue fans, analysts and those who follow closely developments in the transfer market. We just have to wait and see if the player decides to return to his roots and how his journey in Brazilian football will unfold in the coming years.

After Flamengo's 1-0 defeat to Peñarol (URU), Tite was the target of insults from fans at Maracanã. The coach even became a recurring theme in questions directed to candidates for the club's presidency. In interviews, the main candidates presented divergent opinions about Tite's continued leadership of the team.
Rodrigo Dunshee, a candidate supported by the situation, praised Tite, but stated that he has not yet made a definitive decision about the permanence of the team. coach if elected. Luiz Eduardo Baptista, BAP, highlighted that he will need time to evaluate the issue.
Wallim Vasconcellos, in turn, was the most direct in relation to Tite's situation, stating that, if elected, the contract of the coach will not be renewed. Maurício Gomes de Mattos adopted a more evasive stance, without committing himself. Finally, Delair Dumbrosck conditioned Tite's continuation on the results achieved by the end of the season.
Tite's contractTite's contract with Flamengo runs until December of this year, the which puts the decision on its renewal in the hands of the club's next president. The termination fine is calculated based on the technical committee's monthly salary, which is around R$1 million, multiplied by the number of months remaining in the contract. Therefore, if Tite were fired now, with three months left until the end of his contract, the fine would be approximately R$3 million. However, the current board does not plan to fire the coach before the end of the contract.
Recent statements from the main candidates about Tite:“Tite is an exceptional coach, he is our commander. I haven't had the opportunity to discuss the future with him yet, but I plan to do so soon. For now, I don’t have a definitive position on this matter.” (Interview with the Jannuzzi & Abuzze podcast).
Luiz Eduardo Baptista (BAP):“Given the circumstances that Flamengo faces, it would be deeply unfair to evaluate Tite's performance in a negative way . The club was in a much more complicated situation before his arrival, and he is still competing in three competitions. Responsibility for challenges does not rest exclusively with the technical committee. Let’s calmly evaluate what’s best for Flamengo.” (Interview with the Coluna do Fla podcast).
Wallim Vasconcellos:“Particularly, I don’t like Tite’s style of play. His contract ends at the end of the year and I don't intend to renew it. Football needs to move into the 21st century, and I don’t believe that Tite is aligned with what we imagine for Flamengo from 2025 onwards.” (Interview with Lance newspaper).
Maurício Gomes de Mattos (MGM):At campaign events, Maurício Gomes de Mattos is usually evasive about Tite's stay, stating that he intends to put together a professional structure to define the ideal coach for the beginning of his management in 2025.
Delair Dumbrosck:“Whether Tite will continue or not, the results will determine. He is an excellent coach, he has a great commission, but only the results will tell.” (Interview on YouTube by Coluna do Fla).
