O Flamengo is still in the market looking for a defender. Interested in Danilo, the red-black only has boys as options for coach Filipe Luís in the first game of the main team in 2025. Among the alternatives are one who is a pupil of the coach himself, a grandson of a former national team and two who were taken from Brazil to complete the group in this final stretch of pre-season.
Updating
Fla's conversations with Danilo remain at the same stage. The club already has an idea of some conditions to have the player and is awaiting a signal from him to send the proposal to return to Brazil. The defender is seen as a great market opportunity, and the sector is currently the priority.
Léo Pereira left the delegation after the death of a family member. Therefore, he is left out of the first friendly of the season. Léo Ortiz is the only experienced person available for the sector. Filipe Luís is also thinking about using an improvised Alex Sandro. The team will be defined in training this Saturday.
While they don't have a replacement with more running time, Fla has young players. Carbone, João Victor, Pedro Fachinetti and Cleiton are the names available for the game against São Paulo, on Sunday, at 5pm (Brasília time).
Is Pablo out of the plans? Not necessarily, but he is on the negotiable list. The starting defender of the Campeonato Carioca team practically did not take the field in 2024 and was not pleased in the first games of the season. He wants to stay to find space, but Fla would not be opposed to leaving. The high salary makes a transfer difficult.
Who are they?
João Carbone is the grandson of former midfielder and former coach José Luiz Carbone , who played for the Brazilian team in 73 and 74. The young man was a starter in the victorious U20 Libertadores campaign and participated in the pre-season last year, being used with Tite. The defender, however, had no opportunities in official matches. He took his first steps in his career as a left-back and was later dropped back at Grêmio, before arriving at Flamengo.
João Victor's presence in the pre-season was supported by José Boto. One of his first measures as director of Fla was not allowing the young man to serve on the Brazilian youth team. The defender was the first of the 2007 generation to debut for Flamengo as a professional and a starter in the under-20 World Cup. Even last year, when he was old enough to play for the under-17s, he was being called up by Ramon Menezes for the under-20 team. He turns 18 on January 1st. The fine to remove the young man from Gávea is 70 million euros (around R$431.5 million). The boy was hired in 2023 from Zumbi-AL, who became an underdog at Copinha. The team even beat Fla this year in the group stage.
Pedro Fachinetti aroused Alcaraz's curiosity as soon as he arrived in the United States. The Argentine wanted to know about the position, age and other information of the boy, who has a contract until 2027 and fine of 50 million euros (more than R$300 million). He can also play as a midfielder and was discovered by scouts at Salto FC, in São Paulo, and signed at the beginning of 2024. He worked with Filipe in the under-17s.

Dorival praises Vitinho, former Flamengo player: "He created good opportunities"
"We have urgent needs, we didn't have seven or eight players, we used all the pieces we have and we know we need more, we had needs and shortages, and that made me even speed up the process that would have taken a while longer, but the urgency and availability of the athlete made us believe it was possible and as it was, he created good opportunities during the game ", said Dorival about Vitinho.
