Flamengo and Corinthians face each other this Saturday (11), at Maracanã, in the sixth round of the Brasileirão. However, it appears that the São Paulo team will not have the full squad. That's because striker Yuri Alberto said he wasn't 100% ready to face Mais Querido, as he left the field last Tuesday (7) feeling pain.


“If it weren't for this guy (António Oliveira, coach from Corinthians), would be at CT. I'm having difficulty with my knee, I'm still not 100%, but improving. Every day he went to the DM and asked when I would be back, he made fun of me like hell”, he said, before continuing:


“Today, I was able to make a good return and I have four days to recover even more for Saturday. It was an injury that was limiting me. Very happy to come back and run like a horse, brake like a horse. This guy is very special to me”, pondered the player.


RACE AGAINST TIME

Yuri Alberto returned to the field after spending a few weeks recovering from an injury. However, the player played in pain, but managed to score a goal. Now, the player is trying to prepare to face Flamengo.


MISSENSES IN FLAMENGO

In addition to Corinthians, Flamengo will also not have the full squad. This is because Erick Pulgar continues to deal with an injury and should only return next Wednesday (15). Arrascaeta will be re-evaluated this Friday (10) to see if he can face the team from São Paulo.

FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME

Fla and Corinthians face each other with just one objective in mind: victory. This is because both teams find themselves in a delicate situation in the Brasileirão. Thus, at 4pm this Saturday (11th) the teams enter the field for the sixth round of the competition.

Pedro's situation at Flamengo has taken on new chapters in recent days. After being left out of the squad against São Paulo, the striker became a hot topic due to public criticism from the team's coach, Filipe Luís, who cited poor training performance as the reason for his exclusion.


The statement caused discomfort among the player's representatives, who are now considering a possible exit from the club. Behind the scenes, a member of Flamengo's football department even stated that they would accept a €15 million (R$97.5 million) offer to negotiate the player.


BUT AFTER ALL, HOW MUCH IS SHIRT NUMBER 9 WORTH ON THE MARKET?
According to the website Transfermarkt , Pedro is currently valued at €22 million , equivalent to R$143 million at the current exchange rate. So, see what


Evolution of Pedro's market value



  • 05/2018 Fluminense €1.5 million
  • 02/2019 Fluminense €9 million
  • 08/2019 Fluminense €18 million
  • 12/2019 Fiorentina €15 million
  • 09/2020 Flamengo €12 million
  • 05/2021 Flamengo €14 million
  • 04/2022 Flamengo €10 million
  • 11/2022 Flamengo €20 million
  • 07/2023 Flamengo €22 million
  • 06/2024 Flamengo €23 million
  • 06/2025 Flamengo €22 million


SITUATION AT FLAMENGO

Knee surgery and strain with the coaching staff caused Pedro's market value to stagnate after peaking in 2024. Now, even though he is valued at over R$140 million, Flamengo is considering selling him for much less than the estimated value.

It remains to be seen what the next step in the striker's career will be, and whether any club will be willing to pay the Rubro-Negro's desired price.

Flamengo has officially begun negotiations with Agustín Rossi regarding a possible contract renewal. The Argentine goalkeeper, whose contract runs until December 2027, has expressed his desire to extend his contract with the club, with a salary increase included in the negotiations. The information was released by journalist Gabriel Reis, known as "Paparazzo Rubro-Negro."


EVERYTHING RESOLVED BETWEEN FLAMENGO AND ROSSI


Last Monday (14), Rossi's agent was at Ninho do Urubu to begin talks. The expectation is that the parties will move forward in July to align the terms of a new contract . Internally, the move is seen as a way to value a player who has established himself as a key part of the squad.


Rossi arrived at Flamengo at the start of the 2023 season, after excelling at Boca Juniors. With solid performances and consistency, he quickly assumed a starting position. Since then, he has put in strong performances and provides security in the defense. His current contract runs until the end of 2027, but the player's staff believes a raise is commensurate with his performance.

A TIME OF AFFIRMATION


Despite the interest in keeping Rossi for longer, the club's board, under the leadership of football director José Boto, has prioritized other renewals at the moment. Cases like that of full-back Guillermo Varela, whose contract runs until the end of this year, and midfielder Arrascaeta, whose contract runs until 2026, are on the immediate agenda.

Even without rushing, Rossi 's name is already on the table at the club's management. Boto understands that the appreciation of strategic assets is part of the club's policy, and that the Argentine goalkeeper, given his solid performance, deserves special consideration. The topic should advance in parallel with other areas of the football department.
