BACKSTAGE AND FAN SUPPORT
In addition to marketing actions, the Santos board is active behind the scenes to make the return come true. The fans, in turn, demonstrated their unconditional support in the season premiere, during the 2-1 victory against Mirassol.

Atlético-MG continues to look for a new striker to replace Paulinho, who left an important gap in the offensive sector. The club's main bet now falls on Bruno Henrique, from Flamengo. The player, known for his speed and experience, has already received a three-year contract offer from Galo.
Despite showing interest in wearing the Atletico shirt, negotiations face barriers. The CRF, which considers Bruno Henrique an essential part of the squad, is not willing to release the player easily.
BRUNO HENRIQUE: FAN AND POSSIBLE REINFORCEMENT OF THE ATLÉTICO-MG
Bruno Henrique's personal connection with Atlético-MGmay be an asset to the Minas Gerais club. A declared Galo fan, the striker has already signaled positively about the possibility of playing in Belo Horizonte.
The proposal presented meets the expectations of the player, but Flamengo remains resilient, especially considering Bruno Henrique's role as a starter at the beginning of the season and the absence of Pedro, who only returns in June.
If confirmed, the signing of Bruno Henrique will place Atlético-MG's attack among the strongest in the country, alongside Hulk and Gustavo Scarpa. The trio would have the potential to boost the team's performance in national and international competitions.
FLAMENGO KEEP BRUNO HENRIQUE AS PART OF PLANS FOR 2025
No Mengão, Bruno Henrique has been used as a false 9, especially after the arrival of Juninho, who is also looking for space in the starting lineup. With Pedro's absence, Bruno Henrique should accumulate significant minutes in the first half of 2025, reinforcing his importance for the Rio club.
