Without being registered in the qualifying phase Libertadores groups and unable to play for Flamengo in the Copa do Brasil, striker Carlinhos will only be listed by Tite again in June. This is because the CBF decided this week to stop the Brazilian Championship for two rounds. This competition is the only one at the moment in which the former Nova Iguaçu center forward is able to help Flamengo.
The reason for the suspension of the Brasileirão until the beginning of June is due to the tragedy caused by the rains in Rio Grande do South. Clubs such as Internacional, Grêmio and Juventude have not trained for days, as their respective stadiums are flooded. Flamengo was against the strike, but the vote ended up being defeated. The next game that Carlinhos will be able to play will be against Athletico-PR, on June 2nd.
Carlinhos will not be able to help Tite on the 22nd, against Amazonas in the Copa do Brasil, because he has already played the tournament with the Nova Iguaçu shirt. CBF regulations prevent an athlete from playing for two teams in the same year of the national knockout stage. In the Libertadores, the player will only be registered if Flamengo secures a place in the round of 16.
Carlinhos only played in two games for Flamengo
Since arrived at the club, Carlinhos entered the second half in the 2-1 victory against Atlético-GO, in Goiânia. Furthermore, he was a starter in the 0-0 draw against Palmeiras, at Allianz Parque, in São Paulo. Days later, Gabigol obtained provisional release from CAS and it ended up that the number 22 became the third option for Tite.

Qatar's Al Rayyan attempted to sign striker Pedro in recent days , offering $20 million (approximately R$110 million). The proposal was delivered directly to the player's representatives, but Flamengo immediately rejected any possibility of negotiation.
According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the red-black board made it clear that it does not intend to sell Pedro in 2025, to the point of not even opening talks with the Qatari club , a position that changed after a strong member of the board declared to journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira that he would like to negotiate the center forward .
The number 9 is enjoying a good run of form with the team, but he's recently faced turbulence. Pedro was even involved in a controversy with Filipe Luís , which even resulted in him being temporarily removed from training. However, the friction was resolved, and the striker has regained his place in the squad.
In recent games, Pedro has regained his prominence. He was decisive in the 8-0 rout of Vitória , scoring three goals, including a stunning effort by bouncing a ball over the defender, and in the draw against Grêmio, when he provided the assist for Arrascaeta's goal at the Maracanã.
With Pedro confirmed, Flamengo returns to the field on September 14th , for the 23rd round of the Brasileirão, against Juventude. The duel takes place at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul.

Remo is in talks to sign 29-year-old left-back Jorge . The information was revealed by journalist Paulo Caxiado on the " Cartaz Esportivo " program on Rádio Clube do Pará. The player has been a free agent since September 2024, when he left CRB.
The negotiations are being led by Marcos Braz, the club's new football executive . Known nationally for his work at Flamengo , where he excelled as a manager, Braz is looking to bolster the Azulino squad with experienced players with established careers.
A Flamengo youth product, Jorge built a career at major Brazilian and international football clubs such as Fluminense, Palmeiras, Santos, Basel (Switzerland) and Monaco (France) . His most notable achievements include the 2021 Copa Libertadores and the 2022 Brasileirão, both with Palmeiras.
This isn't the first time that athletes trained at Flamengo have played for Remo. Recently, "Crias do Ninho" Daniel Cabral and Felipe Vizeu wore the blue jersey , but left the club after failing to live up to expectations. The current squad also includes forward Pedro Rocha, who played for Flamengo in 2020. Marked by repeated injuries, he left the club in 2021.
According to data from Flaestatística, Jorge played 87 official matches for Flamengo, scoring 5 goals and winning 42. During that time, he also accumulated 20 draws and 25 losses, establishing himself as a promising young player at the beginning of his career.
The midfielder, who was raised at Mengão, was loaned to Cruzmaltino by Crystal Palace and avoided talking about his former club during a press conference.

A recent highlight of Flamengo's youth academy, Matheus França was officially presented by Vasco this Tuesday (02). During the press conference in São Januário, the attacking midfielder avoided mentioning the name of the club that formed him , Cruzmaltino's biggest rival, and reinforced the total focus on the new team.

When asked about the pressure from his past at Gávea and the reasons that led him to choose Vasco, França preferred not to delve into the subject , focusing only on the conversations he had with those responsible for Cruzmaltino.
"Everyone knows about my beginnings at the rival club. But the most important thing is to focus here at Vasco, a big and important club. This was my choice, based on conversations with Diniz, Felipe, and Pedrinho . I'm grateful for the support and the conversations from the beginning. I don't feel any pressure. I'm a player who will give his all for Vasco , and that's what matters," he stated.
In July 2023, Crystal Palace signed Matheus França from Flamengo for €20 million (approximately R$104 million at the time), with bonuses that could have increased the fee to €30 million . However, the Gávea native's journey in England was marked by difficulties. The attacking midfielder suffered a series of injuries—to his groin, back, ribs, and thighs—that hampered his adaptation.
He was away from the field for 345 days, returning only in February of this year. During that time, he played 19 games, scoring one goal and providing one assist for the London club . Due to his limited use, Crystal Palace opted to loan him until mid-2026. The contract with Vasco does not include a purchase option.
