For Flamengo fans who were waiting for right-back Wesley to leave, the news is not the best. The player, who was close to being transferred to Atalanta, in Italy, will remain at the red-and-black club. Negotiations, which were advanced, cooled down after the Italian team decided not to proceed with the signing. This way, Wesley will continue defending Flamengo at least until the end of this year.


With Wesley remaining, the chances of Flamengo looking for a new right-back on the market become smaller. One of the names that was being speculated was Khellven, a former Athletico Paranaense player and currently at CSKA Moscow, in Russia. However, this possibility was ruled out by the athlete's own manager.




KHELLVEN'S BUSINESSMAN RULES OUT OF NEGOTIATION WITH FLAMENGO

< In contact with the Russian website "Sports RU", agent Carlos Meinberg, who looks after Khellven's career, was direct in stating that Flamengo has no interest in signing the 23-year-old right-back. "No. Flamengo is not interested in Khellven", clarified Meinberg, dismissing any rumors about a possible negotiation.



CSKA ASKS FOR 10 MILLION EUROS PER KHELLVEN; BOTAFOGO HAS INTEREST

Khellven, who was part of Athletico Paranaense from 2019 to 2023, where he won six titles, is currently linked to CSKA Moscow until June 2028. The Russian club has set the value of 10 million euros (approximately R$61 million) to release the player. Without Flamengo in the dispute, Botafogo appears as one of the main interested parties in the contract, which could facilitate negotiations for Alvinegro.

Flamengo received important news this Monday (4). Midfielder Arrascaeta underwent tests at the club's training center, Ninho do Urubu, which ruled out any muscle injury in the thigh. Thus, the number 10 is fit to reinforce the team in the return match against Atlético-MG , in the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil.


The Uruguayan was substituted at halftime of the match against Ceará last weekend after complaining of muscle discomfort. The decision to withdraw him was made by coach Filipe Luís as a preventative measure , avoiding the worsening of a possible clinical condition.


MEDICAL EVALUATION


The player's departure at half-time caused apprehension among fans, who feared the absence of the team's main playmaker in a decisive match. However, tests carried out on Monday ruled out any medical concerns , and Arrascaeta is available to the coaching staff for the match against Atlético-MG, on Wednesday (6).

Internally, the news was received enthusiastically, particularly given the tactical importance the midfielder represents to the team's attacking system . If he's fully fit by game day, Arrascaeta is likely to start.


CLASSIFICATION SCENARIOS

After a 1-0 defeat in the first leg at Maracanã, Flamengo needs to win by two goals to secure a direct spot in the quarterfinals. If Flamengo wins by one goal, the match will go to penalties . A draw or another defeat in Belo Horizonte will result in Flamengo 's elimination from the competition.
