Apoel, a traditional football club in Cyprus, expressed interest in signing Matheus Gonçalves, one of the promises of the youth team Flamengo. The information was revealed by journalist Gilmar Henzo, who highlighted the European club's proposal for a loan for the attacker, with an option to purchase at the end of the contract.

Apoel's offer involves a loan agreement, allowing the Cypriot club evaluate Matheus Gonçalves' performance before deciding on the definitive purchase. This approach is common in transactions involving young players, allowing clubs to minimize financial risks while giving athletes the chance to develop in a new competitive environment.


A NEW DIRECTION OF OPPORTUNITIES 

Matheus Gonçalves, at just 18 years old, has shown talent in the youth categories of Flamengo, but has not yet managed to establish himself in the main team under the command of coach Tite. The young striker has found space mainly in the U20 team, where he maintains his game pace and continues to evolve technically.


Matheus Gonçalves' transfer to Apoel should not face major obstacles from Flamengo. The Rio club, recognized for its tradition of revealing talent, may see the proposal as an opportunity to give the player valuable international experience, which could accelerate his development and increase his market value.

On Saturday afternoon (28), Flamengo held its last training session before facing Athletico-PR in the Brasileirão. A clash that could decide the future of coach Tite at Mengão, was attended by all the players considered to be starters, despite the expectation of a mixed team for Sunday (29).

In content published on social media of Flamengo, names like Bruno Henrique and Alex Sandro, who were starters in the Libertadores elimination, last Thursday (26), appear alongside young fledglings, such as Matheus Gonçalves and Evertton, who have been widely used in the “reserve team ” by Tite.


Flamengo may have held the last training session under Tite's command.

With his destiny becoming more uncertain at Flamengo, Tite may having led his last training session as coach of Rubro-Negro. There are four games without a win, a bad result, or poorly presented football against Athletico-PR, could mean the end of the line for the coach, just under a year after his arrival.

In the semi-finals of Copa do Brasil, where they face Corinthians, and in the G4 of the Brasileirão, Rubro-Negro's objective is clear, to become CdB champion, and remain in the classification zone for the next Libertadores in the points championship.

Matheus Gonçalves has always been a hope for Flamengo fans to achieve a good performance in the professional ranks like other youngsters from the club previously. The player had some opportunities with coach Tite, but was unable to have a great run of play. As a result, there is a lot of speculation about a way out so that the midfielder can get a minute.

According to journalist Gilmar Henzo, Apoel, from Cyprus, made a proposal to sign Matheus Gonçalves. The European club wants the 18-year-old striker on loan with an option to buy.


Flamengo does not rule out negotiating Matheus Gonçalves, but only in a sale, with good numbers. Otherwise, it decides that along the lines offered by the Europeans, there will be no deal 


Even without drafts, Fla vetoes any chance of a loan at this time, according to the Bolavip Brasil portal. Precisely because he wants to give the athlete opportunities. With the arrival of the Copa América and several absences, he will have more minutes.

Bragantino also made an inquiry to find out more information and considered a new loan, but was also denied. The midfielder was loaned to Massa Bruta last season, but the board understands that this is not the time. 


In the current season, the young man played in eight matches, six for the professional team and two for the Brazilian Under-20 Championship. At times, the player asked to play in the youth teams to get training. The athlete has not had many opportunities with coach Tite, which is why he still plays in youth games. A certain scenario can facilitate a possible departure from the club, but only through sale.
