Former goalkeeper Bruno Fernandes, who gained national prominence when playing for Flamengoand was convicted of the murder of Eliza Samudio , now works as a furniture delivery man. At 39 years old, Bruno was seen performing his new role in Rio das Ostras, a city on the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The information was released by CNN Brasil.

The revelation of Bruno's new occupation was made by the "Rio das Ostras 24 hora" profile on Instagram. A video published on the platform shows the former player unloading furniture from a truck in the city center. He would be working for a furniture company that also operates in Cabo Frio and Macaé, other locations on the coast of Rio de Janeiro.

In 2023, Bruno had already released videos on social media promoting a furniture company, which indicated his approach to this new field of activity.

Bruno was sentenced to 22 years in prison in 2010 for the crimes of murder and concealment of corpse of Eliza Samudio, in addition to the kidnapping of her son Bruninho. At the time, he was a goalkeeper for Mais Querido, and his arrest interrupted a career that was on the rise. Bruno became Brazilian champion in 2009 and, in 2010, he was in advanced negotiations to move to Milan, in Italy.

Created by Flamengo and considered one of the best midfielders in the Premier League, Lucas Paquetá does not hide his love for Mais Querido. Now, the player tries to pass on this red-black passion to the next generation. Thus, the athlete appeared in a video on social media teaching his son to sing the Mengo anthem.

In images published on social media by Lucas Paquetá's wife, which were reposted by the athlete, he appears at a moment relaxing with his family and helping his son sing the Flamengo anthem, even joking: “you have to sing it all”.

It is worth remembering that Lucas Paquetá was one of the names desired by the Red and Black board in the last transfer window. The midfielder is linked to West Ham (ING), but is experiencing a turbulent situation in England. This is because the midfielder is being investigated by the English Federation (FA) for "misconduct in relation to betting" in four Premier League matches.

Thus, Mais Querido even tried to convince the English team that a change of scenery would be positive for the player. However, West Ham did not accept the values ​​proposed by Flamengo and the negotiation did not progress.

Most Querido is focused on the confrontation against Peñarol, in the Libertadores quarter-finals. Therefore, Flamengo faces the Uruguayans this Thursday (19), at 7pm, at Maracanã.

Pedro was in great form during the season, being Flamengo and Brazil's top scorer with 30 goals in 43 matches. However, during training with the Brazilian team, the striker suffered a serious injury that took him out of action for the remainder of 2024. As the injury occurred while Pedro was serving the CBF, the entity will have to compensate Flamengo with an amount corresponding to almost a salary for the player.

The CBF will cover the club's losses for the first 28 days after the injury, which occurred on September 4th. Flamengo should receive a million dollar amount, as Pedro's estimated salary is around R$1.1 million, not including contractual bonuses.

In addition to compensation from the CBF, Flamengo also contacted FIFA to obtain compensation through the Club Protection Program. This program guarantees that clubs receive compensation proportional to the annual salary of an athlete who is injured while serving for the national team. The maximum value of the program is R$46.77 million per year, with a daily limit of around R$127 thousand. Flamengo has up to 28 days to formalize the request and ensure this compensation.

Pedro suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee , an injury that requires between nine and 12 months of recovery. Therefore, the striker will only play again in 2025.

Without Pedro, Flamengo is preparing to face Peñarol (URU) this Thursday (19), at 7pm, at Maracanã, for the first game of the Libertadores quarter-finals. The return match will be held on September 26th, in Uruguay.
