Fabrício Bruno, Flamengo defender, made a decision that took many by surprise when he refused a proposal of 83 million reais from West Ham, a Premier League club. The information was released by journalist Raisa Simplicio, who spoke to sources close to the player and the club.
West Ham's proposal, which reached the player before the official opening of the transfer window, was attractive financially, but not enough to convince Fabrício Bruno to leave Flamengo. According to Simplicio, the defender chose to remain at the Rio club, where he feels valued and confident in his growth potential.
Refusal of the offer does not mean, however, that the future of Fabrício Bruno is fully defined. People close to the player warned that, with the transfer window yet to open, it is too early to say categorically that he will not consider other proposals that may arise. The decision to remain at Flamengo, at this moment, reflects more the current situation and the player's preference to continue his development in the red-black team.
Fabrício Bruno arrived at Flamengoin 2021, coming from Red Bull Bragantino, and quickly became a key player in the team's defense. His consistent performance and aerial skills caught the attention of European clubs, including West Ham, who recently declined an offer.
At Flamengo, Fabrício Bruno found an environment conducive to his development. The team, which has one of the most passionate fans in Brazil, offers just the right amount of visibility and pressure, factors that can be decisive for a player on the rise. Furthermore, the club's financial stability and structure provide ideal conditions for the defender to continue evolving.

The "marriage" between Tite and Flamengo officially came to an end this Monday (30), with the announcement of the coach's resignation. Thus, the coach ends his time at Rubro-Negro after 70 games, with a 64.7% success rate, in addition to having won a state title and suffered a disappointing elimination in the Libertadores da América.
Tite took over Flamengo on October 9, 2023, after Jorge Sampaoli left. The former Brazilian national team coach signed a contract until the end of 2024, but his departure comes three months ahead of schedule. During his time in charge of Flamengo, Tite accumulated 70 matches, totaling 41 wins, 13 draws and 16 defeats. Under his management, the team scored 109 goals and conceded 50. He also led the team to win the Campeonato Carioca undefeated. Despite a promising start, Flamengo's performances under Tite's command did not please the majority of the fans. The team, which led the Brasileirão for a few rounds, began to oscillate and currently occupies fourth place with 48 points, nine behind leader Botafogo, who has 57.
Elimination in the Libertadores
Three-time champion of the Libertadores, Flamengo entered the 2024 edition as one of the favorites and top seed in Group E. However, the performance of the team in the group stage fell below expectations, resulting in a second-place finish. In the round of 16, Flamengo beat Bolívar (BOL) 2-1 on aggregate, but was eliminated in the quarter-finals after being defeated by Peñarol (URU) without managing to score a goal.
< br> Departure of the Technical CommitteeIn addition to Tite, the entire technical committee is also leaving Flamengo. Among the professionals leaving the club are assistants Cleber Xavier, Matheus Bachi, César Sampaio and Vinícius Bergantin, physical trainer Fábio Mahseredjian and performance analyst Lucas Oliveira.

In Montevideo, Flamengo was unable to reverse the result and was left in a 0-0 draw with Peñarol. Therefore, they are eliminated from the Copa Conmebol Libertadores, the first fall that Tite's team suffers in 2024. Shortly after the end of the match, defender Fabrício Bruno appeared dejected, apologized to the red and black fans and defined that the objective now is to win the remaining titles.
“We did great, we set a great pace, but unfortunately we didn't get the goal. It's about apologizing to the fans and moving forward with the season to win titles. It's difficult, Peñarol's team knows how to defend itself, Aguirre's teams are like that. Now we have to apologize to the fans”, said the defender.
With the elimination, Flamengo stops facing Botafogo in a possible semi-final and concentrates its forces on the Copa do Brasil, where it is in the semi-final and will have the Corinthians as opponent.
