Flamengo has decided: Juninho is staying at the club. After receiving inquiries from Al-Riyadh and Najma SC , both from Saudi Arabia, the Rubro-Negro rejected the approaches and outlined a new plan for the 28-year-old striker. The idea is to give the player more experience throughout the second half of the year, within the planning led by Filipe Luís.
Even with little space in the first half of the year, the center forward remains in the plans. The coaching staff expects him to have more minutes on the field in the next rounds of the Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil and Libertadores. Juninho has been far from being a protagonist in the season so far. The striker played in 20 matches, scored three goals and had a one-off participation in the Club World Cup , when he only came on against Los Angeles, in the third round of the group stage, a game in which Flamengo had already qualified for the round of 16.
The low number of minutes played caught the attention of foreign clubs, who tried to sign him on loan with financial compensation. The board, however, was firm and kept the player in the squad. Juninho's permanence in the main squad was built with the approval of Filipe Luís , who sees potential in the striker. The conversation between the coach and the football leadership sealed the decision not to negotiate the player in the middle of the year.
Filipe wants to increase the offensive options in the squad and believes that Juninho can deliver more with success . The good relationship between the coaching staff and the board made it easier to decide to keep him. Juninho should be available for the match against São Paulo, next Saturday (12), at 4:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The match marks Flamengo 's return to the Brasileirão Betano after the FIFA break.
With the lead in Série A at stake and important absences, the striker could be an option on the bench or even a starter, depending on Filipe Luís' strategy. Despite the offers, Juninho expressed his desire to stay at Ninho do Urubu. The player wants to stay in Rio de Janeiro and compete for a position in a squad full of talent.

Flamengo's Bruno Henrique's suspension due to the betting case at the Superior Court of Justice (STJD) continues to be a hot topic among fans and sports commentators. The most notable aspect was the number of games he was suspended for: 12 matches, which experts consider low , especially compared to similar punishments in Brazilian soccer.
André Rizek on Bruno Henrique, from Flamengo: "What Bruno Henrique did is different"
The issue quickly gained prominence on sports programs and social media , raising discussions about the proportionality of the decision, especially considering the most recent cases involving sports betting in Brazil.
On SporTV, journalist André Rizek analyzed the case critically and highlighted that many comparisons are being made incorrectly: “There is confusion, as some people are using completely different cases to compare the punishment received by BH ,” he stated.
For Rizek, it's important to differentiate the type of infraction committed: "What's very clear to me is that it's not the same thing. What Bruno Henrique did is different from a player harming his own club, acting on behalf of a criminal organization to make a profit . These are different things that can't be lumped together," the journalist concluded.
Despite being suspended for 12 rounds in the Brasileirão, Bruno Henrique remains free to compete in the Libertadores , as the punishment only applies to competitions organized by the CBF (such as the Brasileirão and Copa do Brasil).
Journalist Venê Casagrande explained the situation: "Many people will ask: is there an appeal? Yes, there is. And Flamengo has already decided to appeal the decision because internally the club wasn't happy with the result. They understand that 12 games is a very severe punishment. It's worth remembering: the Libertadores isn't included because it's a CONMEBOL tournament ," he stated.

Corinthians officially renewed the contract of defender Gustavo Henrique , formerly of Flamengo, on Monday (08). The contract, which was due to end at the end of this year, now runs until December 31, 2027, guaranteeing at least two more seasons at the club.
Gustavo Henrique, ex-Flamengo, on renewing at Corinthians: "This means a lot"
Since joining the club in January 2024, Gustavo Henrique has played 56 games and scored four goals, being a regular starter in defense. The defender played a decisive role in winning the Campeonato Paulista this season and established himself as one of the leaders of Dorival Júnior's squad . With the new contract, only four remaining contractual obligations remain: Romero, Angileri, Maycon, and Talles Magno.
In an interview with the club 's official channel, the defender celebrated the renewal: "This means a lot. It's the continuation of a story and a long line of work. I'm very happy with the club's recognition. I'm privileged that they extended my contract . It's a very special moment, and I hope we continue to achieve our goals," he declared.
Before wearing the Corinthians shirt, Gustavo Henrique defended Flamengo between 2020 and 2022. In total, he played 88 matches, scored eight goals and won titles such as the Brasileirão (2020) , the Recopa Sul-Americana (2020), two editions of the Supercopa do Brasil (2020 and 2021) and two Campeonato Cariocas (2020 and 2021).
At the Rio de Janeiro club, he was led by Jorge Jesus, Domènec Torrent, Rogério Ceni, Renato Gaúcho, Paulo Sousa, and Dorival Júnior . Among them, Jesus, Renato, and Dorival were the ones who gave the defender the most confidence. He left in 2022.
Mengão recently reformulated the program for fans and achieved a significant increase compared to the pre-change period.

Flamengo is about to reach the milestone of 100,000 active members in its "Nação" program , which currently has over 95,000 members . This number represents an increase of about 30% since January, when the club had approximately 70,000 subscribers, according to journalist Venê Casagrande.
The increase in membership was driven by the launch of the new program in April, which highlighted the “ Nação Sem Fronteiras ” plan, aimed at fans from outside Rio de Janeiro or who do not regularly attend Maracanã.
With a symbolic value of R$19.81 per month, in honor of the 1981 world title , the plan offers advantages such as priority in purchasing tickets for games outside Rio, the right to purchase tickets for one game per year at Maracanã (except semifinals and finals) and discounts with commercial partners.
Traditional plans have been revamped in the "Maraca Nation" category, divided into three tiers with different prices and benefits . The focus is to offer priority and deeper discounts on ticket purchases for stadium games.
To democratize access, Flamengo has also reserved 10% of its ticket supply for members in categories 2 and 3 , ensuring they don't miss out on purchasing tickets. Within these plans, attendance will be one of the priority criteria.
