Argentine Ángel Di Maria is one of the most coveted names in the football market. Currently at Benfica, in Portugal, he only has a contract until the end of the European season, therefore, he is free and can sign with any club. Along these lines, as he is an internationally renowned star, he is speculated on in many teams, including Brazilian ones. Among them, Flamengo is one of the main interested parties, but it should not be this time that the player will defend a Brazilian, but the destination could be South America.
In recent months, Ángel Di María revealed the his wish for the final stretch of his career, which is to play a Copa Libertadores for Rosário Central again. He stated this in an exclusive interview with the TyC Sports channel. However, even with a verbal agreement with the Argentine club, he received threats and, as a result, may give up on the idea of returning to his country. On the other hand, the renowned Argentine journalist, Hernán Castillo, brought updates and reported that the player can still go to Argentina, but not Rosario, but River Plate, which promises to enter the fight strongly.
This way, he has an offer from the giant in his hand, the desire to play for his favorite club, but the fear of the threat. At the same time, clubs from Brazil and even Europe, like Benfica itself, are interested. No matter what the destination, Di Maria needs to make a decision in the coming weeks, as the European season ends in about a month, when his contract with the Portuguese team ends.
At 36 years old, Di María was on the field 46 times this season for Benfica, with 16 goals and 13 assists. He is one of the stars of the club that is seeking the Portuguese Championship title, with 16 direct participation in goals in the 2023/24 season.
On his resume, the Argentine has the World Cup, Copa América, Finalíssima, Supercopa , Champions League, Portuguese Championship, French Championship, Spanish Championship, Olympics, among others. And speaking of the World Cup and Copa América, he was one of the main names alongside Lionel Messi, putting Argentina back on the path to victory.
There are 35 football titles, with only the Libertadores missing among the major competitions that already competed in his career. Your current contract is valid until the end of the European season, so it is now possible to sign a pre-contract with any club in the world, playing in July.

The 2024 season is being a milestone in Flamengo's history, not only due to its results in competitions, but also due to administrative and structural advances. One of the biggest dreams of red and black fans is getting closer to becoming reality: the construction of the club's own stadium. Flamengo made official the purchase of the Gasologista land, in the Port Zone of Rio de Janeiro, which will house the future home of Mais Querido.
The acquisition of the Gasologista land is considered one of the greatest achievements of the current administration. The purchase makes it possible to fulfill fans' long-standing desire and promises to transform the club in financial and structural terms, enabling greater autonomy for holding matches and events. With this initiative, Flamengo is moving forward in consolidating its own stadium, something that has been discussed for years.
In addition to structural advances, Rodolfo Landim's tenure, which ends at the end of 2024, is marked by achievements both on and off the pitch. However, the club's current president should continue to play an important role at Flamengo in the coming years.
According to information from the newspaper O Globo, Rodrigo Dunshee, current general and legal vice-president of Flamengo, and likely candidate for the club's presidency, plans to announce that Rodolfo Landim will occupy the position of CEO in 2025, if he wins the elections. With this, Landim will remain directly involved in the administration of Flamengo for another three years.
During his management, Rodolfo Landim was responsible for Flamengo's significant victories, including national and international titles. In addition to sporting successes, the management stood out for its modernization initiatives and financial growth of the club, which culminated in the purchase of land for the stadium and administrative reorganization.

Flamengo continues to wait for the return of Arrascaeta, who has been sidelined since August 18th, when he suffered an injury to his left thigh. The number 14 is being monitored by the club's Medical Department and his return to the field is still uncertain for the decisive clash against Bahia, valid for the quarter-finals of the Copa do Brasil. The game will take place on September 12th, at 9:45 pm, at Maracanã.
Arrascaeta has not yet started the transition phase to the field, remaining under the care of Flamengo's medical department. With less than a week to go until the match, the club is racing against time to count on the return of the Uruguayan star. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the player is in the final stage of recovery and there is an expectation that he will begin the physical transition next Monday (09).
IMPACT OF INJURIES IN THE SECOND HALF
An undisputed starter at Flamengo and frequently called up for the Uruguayan national team, Arrascaeta has faced physical problems throughout the seasons, especially in the second half, when the calendar becomes more intense. Since 2019, the midfielder has suffered 70% of his injuries after June, totaling 20 absences for Flamengo, 14 of them from that period.
In the first match of the quarter-finals against Bahia, Flamengo won 1-0 away from home, with a goal from Bruno Henrique. With this result, Rubro-Negro can even draw at Maracanã to guarantee their place in the tournament's semifinals. The team hopes to count on Arrascaeta, but is also preparing alternatives to make up for his possible absence.
Flamengo still has some doubts for the clash, but the likely lineup has names like: Rossi, Wesley (Varela), Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Ayrton Lucas, Pulgar (Léo Ortiz), Allan, Gerson, Luiz Araújo, Bruno Henrique and Gabigol (Arrascaeta).
The club has a new direction in negotiations

Benfica is preparing to present an official proposal for Flamengo right-back Wesley. The offer, according to sources, should be around 13 million euros, which is equivalent to approximately R$79.5 million. This movement occurs amid discussions involving the possible transfer of Wesley, who was previously almost traded to Atalanta, from Italy, for 20 million euros.
Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel, directors of Flamengo, are currently in Portugal, the which can facilitate the progress of negotiations. The presence of representatives of the red-black club in Europe indicates that Flamengo is open to listening to proposals and, possibly, closing an agreement that is advantageous to both parties.
Wesley, who has stood out as one of the main promises of Flamengo, aroused the interest of several European clubs due to its consistent performance. The young right-back has been a key player in Flamengo's tactical scheme, which justifies the high market value attributed to him.
However, Benfica's proposal, although significant, is lower than the value that Atalanta was willing to pay. This could be an important negotiating point, as Flamengo will certainly evaluate whether it is advantageous to accept a lower offer or wait for a proposal that meets the club's financial expectations.
