MENGÃO ON THEM! SELECTION RELEASES SQUAD WITH THREE FLAMENGO COLDS AMONG THE HOLDERS

Flamengo and Lazio advanced in negotiations to sign midfielder Marcos Antônio. The player, who has already accepted the Rio club's offer, should be signed on loan with an obligation to buy if certain goals are achieved. However, there are still disagreements regarding the triggers and final values ​​of the operation, according to information from the GE website.

It is agreed that Flamengo will pay an amount for the one-year loan, which will be deducted if the club opts to definitively purchase the player. . The figures for the definitive purchase are being discussed, with expectations of values ​​between 5 and 6 million euros, in addition to bonuses.

The main divergence between the clubs is in the clause that obliges Flamengo to buy the player if he participates in 50% of the games during the loan period. Flamengo and Lazio are still debating what the definition of participation in games will be: whether it will only count appearance, ownership, or the number of minutes played (45 or 90 minutes on the field).

Flamengo prefers that the purchase trigger be related to ownership or the condition of the player playing for 90 minutes. If the goal is not met, the purchase option will be the choice of the Rio club. Despite the impasse, Flamengo is confident that it will find a satisfactory agreement with Lazio and will have Marcos Antônio as a reinforcement in the next transfer window.

Marcos Antônio, 24 years old, is a creation of Athletico-PR's youth teams and a contemporary of Vini Jr in the youth teams. The midfielder has spent time at Estoril, in Portugal, and Shakhtar Donetsk, in Ukraine. He was bought by Lazio in 2023 and loaned to PAOK, from Greece, last season, where he was national champion.

Former BBB member Gabi Martins and federal deputy Euclydes Pettersen were spotted together at a wedding party in Governador Valadares, in the interior of Minas Gerais. The singer and the politician were photographed side by side in a selfie taken by other guests at the event. So far, Gabi Martins has not spoken openly about the relationship and prefers not to post anything about the subject on social media.

In January, the newspaper EXTRA revealed the affair between the two, highlighting that they spent the year new together in Pernambuco, accompanied by friends. The trip extended to Caraíva and Trancoso, in Bahia, including a helicopter ride. After the trip, Gabi returned to Nova Lima, in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, where she lives with her family. Euclydes, in turn, divides himself between the capital of Minas Gerais and Governador Valadares, his hometown.

In February, when asked about her relationship with the deputy, Gabi declined to talk. "I'm single, working, focused on my career. I spent Carnival busy, fulfilling a schedule", stated the ex-BBB. Gabi has not been in a relationship since she broke up with gamer Lincoln Lau, in March 2023, after three months together. At the time, she claimed to have been cheated on, while Lincoln claimed to have been attacked by his ex-girlfriend.

Despite public appearances, Gabi Martins maintains discretion about her relationship with Euclydes Pettersen. So far, she has not made any posts about the affair, preferring to focus on her musical career and professional projects.

The Brazilian team finally "debuted" in the Copa América on Friday night. If in the goalless draw with Costa Rica Brazil fell behind, at the Allegiant Stadium, in Las Vegas, Dorival Júnior's men thrashed Paraguay 4-1. Highlight for Flamengo's 'Cria' Vini Jr., who scored twice and was the best on the field. Savinho, new to the lineup, and Paquetá, who also missed a penalty, closed the scoring. SUMMARY

Paraguay managed to play a tough game against Brazil , including giving Alisson trouble with shots from outside the area. But it was nothing more than a mirage in the Las Vegas desert. After 30 minutes, the Seleção took control of the match. Paquetá missed a penalty at 31, but Vini Jr. opened the scoring at 34; Savinho added another at 42, and Vini Jr. added another at 49. The game already seemed resolved, but Alderete, who had missed one of the goals, hit a shot on the way back from the break and reduced the score. But it was nothing more than a scare. Dorival Júnior's team continued to control the action in the second half, turning the score into a rout with a penalty goal from Paquetá at 19 and only managing in the final minutes, especially with the numerical advantage after Cubas' (rigorous) expulsion in a move with Douglas Luiz.

It's worth remembering that Flamengo was represented not only by Vini and Paquetá. João Gomes had an excellent game and Andreas Pereira, who came on in the second half, gave a good rhythm to the game. Therefore, 4 former red-blacks were at the Allegiant Stadium this Friday.

The victory sent the Brazilian classification to the quarterfinals Copa América final. With four points, the Seleção will play for a draw in the last round to secure their place, but could still finish as leader of Group D if they beat Colombia, which has six. Paraguay, last placed with zero points, is already eliminated.

The Brazil x Colombia game will be on Tuesday, at 10pm ( of Brasília), in the city of Santa Clara, in the United States. On the same day and time, Paraguay meets the schedule in Austin and faces Costa Rica, who need to win and beat the Brazilians to qualify.
