Flamengo faces yet another injury concern during the FIFA World Cup. Last Friday (21), Giorgian De Arrascaeta left the pitch in the first half of the match between Uruguay and Argentina, valid for the World Cup Qualifiers. The Rubro-Negro midfielder felt pain in his adductor and had to be replaced by Nicolás De La Cruz.


The player's situation is a concern for the Rio de Janeiro club, as he still feels discomfort in the area and will undergo tests at the Uruguayan national team's medical department. If a more serious injury is confirmed, the athlete may be out of the Mais Querido's upcoming matches.


MARCELO BIELSA EXPLAINS SUBSTITUTION AND HIGHLIGHTS CARE WITH INJURIES IN THE URUGUAYAN NATIONAL TEAM


After the defeat to Argentina, Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa commented on Arrascaeta's departure and explained that the player had not shown any pain before the match.

" He had discomfort in his adductor and couldn't continue. He didn't have any previous discomfort, he left when he indicated he had discomfort. If there's one thing I make sure of, it's that players who are at risk of injury don't play, especially given their history, " Bielsa said at a press conference.


The Uruguayan had already shown signs of discomfort before being substituted, holding his groin while waiting for a corner kick for the Argentine national team. The athlete is expected to return to Flamengo to begin treatment.

URUGUAYAN HAS RECENT HISTORY OF PHYSICAL PROBLEMS IN THE NATIONAL TEAM

Since the 2022 World Cup, Arrascaeta has been a regular call-up to the Uruguay national team, but his participation has been limited by fitness issues. Of the 14 matches he has been included in, he has only played the full 90 minutes once, in a 1-0 defeat to Peru in October 2024. In the other games, he has averaged just 26 minutes per game, and has also missed nine of Uruguay's games due to injuries.

In addition to Arrascaeta, Gerson was another Mengão player who suffered from physical problems during the FIFA World Cup. The midfielder had to be substituted in the first half of Brazil's 2-1 victory over Colombia last Thursday.

Flamengo has formalized a proposal for goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão , Santos' standout player in 2025. According to information from UOL, Rubro-Negro offered seven million euros (around R$45 million) for 60% of the player's economic rights.


Despite the high price, Santos rejected the offer. The São Paulo club believes Brazão should only leave if a minimum offer of €15 million (approximately R$94 million) is met, a sum considered fair by the board to open negotiations.


WHAT DID GAZETA DO URUBU FIND?


According to Gazeta do Urubu , the Rio de Janeiro club has not yet made an official offer to the player. Sources within the board revealed that the player is being monitored, but there have been no official talks with the goalkeeper yet.

SANTOS HOLDS THE GOALKEEPER


Gabriel Brazão is in great form and has become one of the most highly valued goalkeepers in Brazilian football. In addition to Flamengo 's interest, European clubs are also monitoring the situation. Torino, from Italy, even submitted a R$64 million offer , which Santos also rejected.

Other giants like Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Porto are closely monitoring the player's progress , as he has played 33 matches this season. Santos' board, which recently loaned João Paulo to Bahia, is working to keep Brazão at least until the end of the year.

Even after a successful transfer window, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market to further strengthen its squad . The main target at this time is Argentine striker Valentín Castellanos , a player who has expressed interest in joining Flamengo but faces resistance from Lazio, who are not making his exit easy.


Last Saturday (16), Lazio played a friendly against Atromitos, from Greece, winning 2-0. However, the match was marked by a general confusion that resulted in the expulsion of Castellanos . The Mengão striker disagreed with defender Mansur , exchanged aggressions and ended up receiving a red card.


According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, the fight didn't end on the field. In the locker room, the situation escalated, and the police had to intervene to calm things down . Italian press sources indicate that Castellanos is experiencing emotional instability, driven by frustration at not being released by Lazio to play in Brazilian football.


WHAT DOES THE GAZETA KNOW?
According to an investigation by Gazeta do Urubu, major signings would only happen if there was an unexpected departure or serious injury to a starter. Therefore, the club will not make any further moves for Taty Castellanos.
FLAMENGO LOOKING FOR CENTER FORWARD

In the market, the Rubro-Negro are looking for a number 9 with different characteristics than Pedro , prioritizing a more mobile and versatile player in attack. Names like Taremi, Beltrán, and Castellanos were only monitored by the Rio team.
