This Monday (15), Tricolor das Laranjeiras presented Jorge Amorim, 17 years old, who was signed by Flamengo in November 2023. The striker, who is from Nova Iguaçu, signed a loan contract until the middle of 2025, similar to Mengão. Filipe Luís led the group of young champions of the Copa Rio U17 this year. Your current club lost in the group stage.
– I'm feeling really good. I was extremely hugged and welcomed when I arrived here, as if I were already at home. So, my expectation is the best possible. I want to find my place and win titles with this great club, declared the 17-year-old player, Fluminense's new signing.
The player caught the attention of Flamengo after Jorge scored a goal against his new club, Nova Iguaçu, for tournament player Guilherme Embry in 2023. The player was also the second top scorer in the championship, scoring nine goals in eight games. Mengão and other Brazilian football clubs were interested in the positive numbers.
Jorge did not achieve the expected success during his brief spell at Flamengo. The striker only played three times during the competition, in which he was champion with coach Filipe Luís. When he beat Resende 6-0, he entered the second stage, but lost to Botafogo 3-2 and Nova Iguaçu 1-0, respectively. Both players started as starters.
After the title, the Mengão player and coach of the club's youth team left the under-17s and took over the under-20s. In the last match of the category, he won heroically 3-2. The team led by Filipe Luís is in first place in the Guanabara Cup with great success. 18 points, with eight wins in six games.
He is already part of the team coached by Felipe Canavan and has the opportunity to make his debut in this Tuesday's game (16/07), against São Paulo, in the third round of the Under-17 Brasileirão. The Marcelo Portugal Stadium in Cotia (SP) is where the ball rolls at 4pm.
The club raised R$518.4 million in sales, spent R$309 million on signings and expects historic revenue of over R$1.7 billion by the end of the year.

Flamengo closed the mid-2025 transfer window with intense market activity. The balance sheet released by the board shows that the club raised more than it invested , strengthening its cash flow and strengthening its squad.
R$518.4 million was received from the departure of seven players , including important names such as Gerson (R$160.6 million), Wesley (R$162.2 million) and Fabrício Bruno (R$44 million). At the same time, the club continued to sign strategic players, projecting to close the year with revenue exceeding R$1.7 billion.
The biggest sale of the window was Wesley, who netted the club R$162.2 million. Besides him, Charly Alcaraz (R$96 million) and Matheus Gonçalves (R$50 million) also left the team , totaling significant sums. Loans and other transfers rounded out the list of moves that helped bolster the club's coffers.
Despite significant departures, the board remained focused on strengthening the squad. In total, seven signings were made for 2025, three of which were free: Danilo, Jorginho, and Saúl Ñiguez.
The biggest investment was Samuel Lino, acquired for R$143 million in a historic deal for the club. Besides him, Emerson Royal (R$58 million), Jorge Carrascal (R$77 million), and Juninho (R$31 million) completed the list of paid reinforcements.
Even with the punishment of a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000, the club is not expected to go to the market in search of a striker, trusting in the current squad.

Despite the suspension imposed on striker Bruno Henrique , Flamengo will not make any moves in the market to find an immediate replacement. The board was already considering the possibility of losing the player and believes there are enough options within the squad to maintain the team's performance.
According to a report by Gazeta do Urubu , coach Filipe Luís believes Pedro has reached his best physical form and can assume a greater offensive role. Furthermore, Gonzalo Plata and Wallace Yan are seen as viable alternatives to fill the position , while Juninho is expected to be reinstated in the squad for the next rounds of the Brasileirão.
The Superior Court of Sports Justice sentenced Bruno Henrique this Thursday (29) to a 12-game suspension and a fine of R$60,000. The decision is valid for national competitions, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Copa do Brasil, but does not, for now, affect the Libertadores.
However, the case is expected to be referred to FIFA. If the governing body agrees to extend the ban, the striker will also be barred from international matches , increasing the impact of the punishment for Mengão.
The process began after suspicions of manipulation related to a yellow card received by Bruno Henrique in the match against Santos, held at the Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília, on November 1, 2023.
According to the investigation, the player allegedly provided advance notice of the warning, which benefited his brother, Wander, who then passed the information on to third parties involved in sports betting. The investigation led to a disciplinary decision by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD), which may now have repercussions in international courts.
After four days of rest, the red-black squad returns to training at Ninho do Urubu under the command of Filipe Luís and begins preparations for the away match.

After four days off , the Flamengo squad returned to activities this Friday (5), at Ninho do Urubu, under the command of Filipe Luís. The team is preparing for the next commitment in the Brazilian Championship , scheduled for September 14, against Juventude, in Caxias do Sul.
The group returned at 3:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Training Center in Vargem Grande . On Saturday (6), the work will be carried out in the morning, at 9:30 am, with the same schedule repeated on Sunday (7).
Filipe Luís will be tasked with adjusting the team for the match against Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi. Despite the technical differences between the teams and their good form in the tournament, Flamengo doesn't have a favorable record when facing the Gauchos away from home.
Their last away win came in 1997, when they won 1-0 in the Brasileirão . Since then, Mengão has lost seven and drawn six in Rio Grande do Sul. The match at Juventude's home ground has always been a difficult one.
Currently, the red-and-black team leads the national competition, with 47 points from 21 matches, with 14 wins , five draws, and only two losses. Juventude, on the other hand, is facing a difficult time, occupying 18th place with 21 points, achieved through six wins, three draws, and 12 losses.
