Pedro is Flamengo's big name in 2024. Even last season, when Flamengo was not in its best years, the striker was one of those who "saved" themselves from criticism. As a result, after scoring a goal in the victory over Palmeiras last Wednesday (31) in the Copa do Brasil, the number 9 reached 29 official goals this year and is approaching the select group of the five greatest scorers in the history of Maracanã.< /p>
With 93 goals at the Sacred Temple of Football, Flamengo's top scorer is one goal away from entering the Top 5. With one more ball in the net, Pedro will equal Waldo (Fluminense) and Quarentinha (Botafogo), each with 94 goals at Maracanã.
The first chance Pedro will have will be against Palmeiras again, but for the Brasileirão. Both face each other at Maracanã on the 11th. Maintaining their excellent record against São Paulo, P9 has a great chance of breaking the mark. This is because he has seven goals in 11 duels (one goal every 97 minutes) against the team playing for Flamengo.
Even at the beginning of the second half with these numbers, Pedro is taking great strides towards having a better season career top scorer.
Flamengo at the top of Maracanã
Both in the recent history of the stadium and since its inauguration, Flamengo is present on the list of Maracanã's main players, whether with goals or number of games. Even the games with the biggest attendance and the most notable matches at the stadium also involve Mais Querido.
In the list of greatest scorers of all time, Zico, a sacred idol, comes first as the greatest scorer in the history of Maracanã (334 goals). In second is Roberto Dinamite, but in third is Romário, who of the 187 goals scored, several were with the Sacred Mantle.
And, in the post-reform period for the 2014 World Cup, the three biggest Temple markers are recent Rubro-Negro idols. In addition to Pedro, Gabigol (78) and Bruno Henrique (55), respectively, are the top scorers in this new phase of Maracanã.
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.
The Mais Querido was eliminated from the Club World Cup and is already starting to prepare for the rest of the season next Saturday (5)

Part of the Flamengo squad arrived in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday morning (1) after being eliminated from the Club World Cup. The squad will therefore begin preparing for the rest of the season next Saturday (5).
So, in the coming weeks, Flamengo will face a marathon of games in the Brasileirão. The sequence begins between July 12th and 13th, against São Paulo, at Maracanã. Soon after, the Mais Querido will face Santos, with the location still to be defined. On the 20th, Mengo will play the classic against Fluminense.
On the 23rd, Flamengo travels to face Bragantino. It is worth noting that, at the moment, Mais Querido is the leader of the Brasileirão, with 24 points in 11 rounds.
At the end of July, Flamengo turns its attention to the Copa do Brasil. The Mais Querido will host Atlético-MG on the 27th, at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16. Finally, on the 31st, the Rubro-Negro will visit the Minas Gerais team for the return leg.
Thus, with the return of the athletes, coach Filipe Luís will begin preparing the squad for the rest of the season . Now, Rubro-Negro focuses its attention on the Brazilian Championship, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil.
The Mais Querido can still earn more, as there are other athletes expected to leave the club in this transfer window.

On Tuesday (1), Zenit agreed to sign Gerson after depositing the amount of the midfielder's termination fee into Flamengo's bank account. Thus, with the amount, Mais Querido reached the budget target set for the season.
At the beginning of the season, Flamengo's idea was to raise around 35 million euros (R$225 million) from the sale of athletes in 2025. In this way, Rubro-Negro surpassed the mark, as it raised 47 million euros (R$302 million).
It is worth remembering that before the sale of Gerson , Flamengo had already agreed the sales of Fabrício Bruno, to Cruzeiro for 7 million euros (R$ 44 million) and Carlos Alcaraz, to Everton (ING), for 15 million euros (R$ 96 million).
Despite having already surpassed the target set at the beginning of the year, Flamengo can still raise more money. This is because more players like Wesley are expected to leave during this transfer window. The full-back has already received inquiries from several European football clubs and could be sold for up to 35 million euros (R$225 million).
Without Gerson, coach Filipe Luís will begin preparing the team for the rest of the season. Now, Rubro-Negro will focus its attention on the Brazilian Championship, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. In the Brazilian Championship, Mais Querido is the leader, with 24 points, in addition to being qualified for the round of 16 of the knockout stages.
