Flamengo returns to the field this Saturday (10), at 9 pm (Brasília time), to face Bahia at Maracanã, for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition to the match, the club is preparing a marketing campaign aimed at fans present at the stadium: the launch of collectible cups with the image of striker Pedro.
The initiative aims to bring the idol even closer to the fans and stimulate the sale of licensed products, one of the focuses of the club's marketing department for 2025. The item will be sold for R$25 in the official stores located inside Maracanã. The information was initially released by journalist Gabriel Orphão, from the Paparazzo Rubro-Negro channel. According to him, the cups are a limited edition and, therefore, should attract a lot of demand from the red-and-black fans who attend the stadium this weekend.
The model of the cup has not yet been officially announced by the club, but the expectation is that it will feature special art dedicated to Pedro, with elements that refer to his career at Flamengo , titles won and remarkable goals. The action should follow similar models to the cups previously launched by other clubs and even in past editions by Flamengo itself.
Pedro, now 26 years old, is one of the main names in the red-black squad. Hired permanently in 2021, the number 9 has already scored more than 80 goals with the club's shirt and was the top scorer in the 2022 Libertadores . In addition, he was called up for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, representing Flamengo.
The idea of honoring him comes at a good time, considering the decisive role the forward has played in recent matches and also as a way to strengthen his relationship with the fans. Even amid speculation about his future, Pedro remains an important player for coach Tite. For the match against Bahia , Maracanã should receive a good crowd, and the expectation is that the cups will sell out quickly. We recommend that interested fans arrive at the stadium early to guarantee the purchase of the item.
With little space in the professional team, the athlete remains in the base of Mais Querido after a new international investment; Pisa's loan proposal was denied

Flamengo has once again been approached by European clubs interested in one of its most talked-about prospects: midfielder Lorran. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pisa, recently promoted to the Italian football elite, made a loan offer for the player, but the terms of the negotiation did not please the red-black board, which chose to reject the proposal.
With the decision, the club kept Lorran in the under-20 squad , where he competes in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Despite being away from the main squad, the youngster continues to stand out with good performances and technical moves in training, which continues to arouse the interest of teams outside the country.
Pisa is experiencing a historic moment after securing promotion to Italy's Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.
Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder. Information from the portal “RTI Esportes” reveals that the French club met with José Boto , an executive with a history in European football, to evaluate the viability of a proposal of €15 million (approximately R$96.7 million).
This is not the first time that Lorran's future has been discussed. Earlier this year, the player was very close to a transfer to CSKA in Russia , but the deal was cancelled in the final moments. The Rio de Janeiro club's board also sought a possible loan transfer to Estoril in Portugal, without success.
Negotiations between the Portuguese club and Mais Querido evolve towards a definitive sale; the proposal pleased the board, and the contract is for a three-year term

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.
The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.
During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.
