The Flamengo continues with firm steps in the search for reinforcements to further strengthen the squad already qualified for the season. With the Copa América approaching, the red and black board is working hard to secure key pieces that can make up for possible absences and keep performance high during the period of absence of some starters.
Coach Tite has been clear in its demands, seeking to guarantee a strong and competitive squad, capable of maintaining performance even in the face of the adversities that the Copa América can bring. With the possibility of losing important players for up to nine rounds, Flamengo's management recognizes the importance of having quality options to minimize possible negative impacts on the team's performance.
FLAMENGO WANTS REPLACEMENT PARTS
In this sense, the next target of the Mais Querido board has already been defined: it is Colombian left-back Jhoan Hernández, just 18 years old, currently at Millonarios. The young promise aroused the interest of Flamengo directors, who see in him the potential to strengthen the team's defensive sector.
According to information from Olheiro Sudaca, Flamengo has been closely following Hernández's performance since the Sudamericano U17, where the player showed talent and skill. The possibility of counting on a young and talented player like the Colombian is seen with optimism by the Red and Black board, who believe that he can add quality to the squad.
In addition to Hernández, Flamengo is also optimistic about the possibility of agreeing to sign Danilo, a player who won titles under Pep Guardiola. The Rio club's interest in having the experienced midfielder reflects the search for experience and technical quality to reinforce the squad.

Atlético-MG secured a place in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil by eliminating Flamengo in a penalty shootout on Wednesday night (6) at Arena MRV. Despite the 1-0 defeat in normal time, Galo won the penalty shootout, winning 4-3. The game's goal was scored by Everton Cebolinha, still in the first half.
Right after the final whistle, Atlético investor Rubens Menin celebrated effusively backstage at the stadium, praising the fans and taking the opportunity to taunt the Rio de Janeiro club. " This is the third time we've 'gobbled up' by Flamengo. There was the Copa do Brasil, where we beat them 4-1, the Super Cup, and now. There's no doubt about it. It's good. Three times for Flamengo is good," said the businessman.
Despite the provocation, Flamengo also has reason to be proud of its recent history. In 2024, the Rio de Janeiro club defeated Atlético-MG in the final and became the first team to win a title inside the new MRV Arena, a feat that remains in the history of Atlético's new home. On that occasion, Flamengo won 2-1 in Rio de Janeiro, and 1-0 in Minas Gerais.
With the elimination from the Copa do Brasil, Rubro-Negro now turns its attention to the other two competitions it still competes in this season: the Brazilian Championship and the Copa Libertadores da América.
Leader of the Brasileirão with 37 points, the team led by Filipe Luís faces Mirassol next Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm , at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the competition. The expectation is a full house, with the fans supporting the team in the search for maintaining the leadership.
The attacker was reported by the Superior Court of Justice (STJD) and the case analysis has been given a date, although there is no forecast for the actual trial.

Flamengo striker Bruno Henrique will be tried at the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) on charges of forcing a yellow card to benefit bettors during the match against Santos, in the 2023 Brazilian Championship . The trial is scheduled to take place in early September.
Although there is no official date yet, the case was forwarded to the 1st Disciplinary Committee of the STJD, whose next session takes place on August 18. However, due to the large volume of cases on the agenda, Bruno Henrique's trial was postponed to the next session, scheduled for September 1 (Monday), according to information from the newspaper O Globo.
With this, the player is cleared to play in the two matches against Internacional , valid for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, on August 13th and 20th . Starting in September, however, the athlete may become a significant absence, depending on the outcome of the case. The complaint is still under review, and the athlete will have the right to a full defense before any trial.
The STJD Prosecutor's Office framed the player under two articles of the Brazilian Code of Sports Justice (CBJD):
Flamengo's Bruno Henrique defended: "He was punished with a card in a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul"
" Bruno Henrique was booked for a play in which, obviously, there wasn't even a foul. The claim that receiving a card for this play—in which there wasn't even a foul—was intended to influence the outcome of the match or the championship is absurd . The Superior Court of Justice (STJD) itself had previously dismissed a case based on the same allegations. The player's defense will demonstrate that this new complaint should also be dismissed," the player's representatives told the Coluna do Fla website.

Cuca praises Flamengo's Filipe Luís: "He's the greatest promise of Brazilian football"
"It's very difficult to play against Flamengo. They have a very well-defined game plan. Flamengo now has a young coach who, without a doubt, is the greatest promise we have in Brazilian football," said Cuca.
The Atlético-MG manager then added: "If the guys are calm and patient with him, we know that the path for him will be the Brazilian national team, because he is studious, he prepares himself, he is increasingly wanting to improve and he brings a lot of difficulties for us. We left today very happy to have been able to beat such a strong opponent ," he concluded.
With elimination from the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo turns its attention to the Campeonato Brasileiro and Copa Libertadores, where it is still seeking titles this season. In the Brasileirão, the team leads with 37 points , demonstrating consistency under Filipe Luís, despite the recent setback.
