With its focus on the Club World Cup , Flamengo is stepping up its efforts behind the scenes in search of strategic reinforcements . Jorginho's arrival has already been confirmed for the midfield, but the goal is to increase the number of signings. The football department's idea is to add three more big names to the squad , including offensive options to strengthen the team in a balanced way.
Negotiations are being conducted directly by Filipe Luís, who maintains constant dialogue with José Boto, the executive director of football. Despite specific criticisms of previous decisions, Boto continues to have internal support, especially from the president of BAP , who has already released specific funds to reinforce the squad in the mid-year window.
In this restructuring scenario, Walace's name, currently at Cruzeiro, was back on the agenda. The midfielder, who has played in Europe and was close to a deal with Flamengo on other occasions, was offered again. However, the technical evaluation weighs against the athlete , who does not fit into coach Leonardo Jardim's playing style and has a salary considered high by the Minas Gerais club's standards.
The search for reinforcements continues intensely, with the board evaluating names that arrive through agents and direct offers from clubs. The priority is to find players with a decisive profile, capable of adding immediate quality to the team. The current squad needs alternatives for the creative sector , especially with a view to a season with a tight schedule and ambitious goals.
While the transfer window is not open, Flamengo focuses on the season's commitments. This Thursday (15), the team faces LDU de Quito at Maracanã, at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) , for the fifth round of the Libertadores group stage.

Striker Samuel Lino, a Flamengo star , made waves on social media this Saturday (6) when he scored a beautiful goal during the Brazilian National Team's training session at Granja Comary, in preparation for the match against Bolivia.
In the play, Flamengo's number 16 received a pass inside the box, took Vitinho (Botafogo) out with a quick touch and finished with his right foot , beating Hugo Souza, who was defending at the time. The play went viral , and Flamengo fans praised the player's talent, asking for more opportunities for him in the national team.
Signed for R$143 million, Samuel Lino is the most expensive signing in Flamengo 's history. Despite only playing nine games for Flamengo, he has already scored two goals and four assists, in addition to an above-average performance . His strong start caught the attention of Carlo Ancelotti, who called him up for the first time to represent Brazil.
The striker was a substitute in the 3-0 victory over Chile, at Maracanã, but could still make his debut on this FIFA Date . Brazil faces Bolivia on Tuesday (9), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), in the last round of the Qualifiers.
Among Flamengo's players on international duty, Arrascaeta stood out, scoring a stunning goal and playing a key role in Uruguay's victory over Peru . Varela also shone, providing an assist and contributing to another goal. Viña and Carrascal, however, did not take to the field.

The Brazilian National Team's first training session for the final round of the World Cup Qualifiers took place this Saturday (6), in Teresópolis, in cold temperatures of 16°C, rain and even fog. Coach Carlo Ancelotti made important changes, including the presence of Lucas Paquetá and Fabrício Bruno , both revealed by Flamengo, in the starting lineup.
The activity took place on a reduced field and without goalkeepers, with the focus already on the match against Bolivia, at the altitude of El Alto, a city located 4,100 meters above sea level . This will be the Italian coach's first time leading a team in such conditions.
During the training session, Ancelotti fielded the team with: Wesley, Gabriel Magalhães, Fabrício Bruno, and Caio Henrique; Bruno Guimarães, Jean Lucas, Andrey Santos, and Lucas Paquetá; Raphinha and Richarlison . During training, the coach also made changes, such as the introduction of Vitinho in Wesley's place.
With the national team already qualified for the World Cup, the Italian coach will be observing the final two rounds. Even so, Ancelotti assured that the group is focused on beating the Bolivians , maintaining the goal of preparing the players for the World Cup.
A definite absence for Brazil is Casemiro. Suspended for his third yellow card, received in the 3-0 victory over Chile, the midfielder was released from training camp and will not participate in training at Granja Comary.
Playing in the second half against Chile, Paquetá scored in less than a minute , helped control the match, and directly contributed to the third goal. The performance made a great impression on Ancelotti, who praised the midfielder's versatility.
"Obviously, Paquetá, because of his quality, needs to be here. He can play in different ways. Yesterday he played as a wide midfielder , but he wouldn't have a problem playing as a second midfielder or even as a first, because he has great ball handling skills," the coach highlighted.
The striker was targeted by Italian and English clubs during the transfer window, and the Cottagers made an important decision about the former Flamengo player.

After a busy transfer window in which they managed to retain one of their top players, Fulham is preparing a reward for Rodrigo Muniz, a striker who emerged from Flamengo. The player is expected to receive a contract extension with a significant salary increase .
The decision by the board and coach Marco Silva is strategic: to protect the 24-year-old athlete after rejecting offers, including one from Atalanta , who will compete in the Champions League. According to the British website Give Me Sport (GMS), the Italian club showed strong interest, but the offer did not reach the asking price of £43 million (R$312.5 million), stipulated by the Londoners.
Fulham is looking to expedite negotiations, as Muniz is in the final 12 months of his contract. Currently, the number 9 earns around £7,500 (R$54,500) per week , one of the lowest salaries in the first team. The board recognizes that the compensation no longer reflects the Brazilian's prominence.
The concern is to prevent the player from signing a pre-contract in January and leaving for free at the end of the season. To convince him to stay, the club guaranteed him a prominent role in Marco Silva's plans, which has been using him in the starting lineup.
Last season, the former Flamengo player scored 11 goals and has already started the current campaign decisively, scoring the equalizer against Brighton in the opening round of the Premier League. Since then, he has started against Manchester United and Chelsea , cementing his place in the team.
With the transfer window closed, Fulham turns its attention to internal negotiations. Talks with Muniz's representatives are expected to begin in the coming weeks , with the board willing to offer a significant raise as a demonstration of confidence in the "Nest Boy"'s future.
