Atlético-MG has been showing interest in Rodrigo Muniz, striker for Fulham, from England. After previous attempts to sign, the club is once again focusing on the possibility of acquiring the player for the 2024 season. The athlete's profile, at 22 years old, fits into the board's plan to invest in young talents with potential for appreciation in the market. The information is from the GOAL portal.
Although there has not yet been dialogue with Muniz's staff, Galo plans to offer around 4 million euros for 50% of the player's rights. The striker has been undervalued by Fulham in the current season.
Atlético-MG's current scenario reveals the lack of a promising center forward to complement the attack, alongside players like Paulinho and Hulk. Rodrigo Muniz is seen as the main target for this position, being considered "plan A" for Alvinegro's investors.
Rodrigo Muniz's numbers in Europe
< b>For Fulham: 34 games/ 5 goals/ 0 assists
For Middlesbrough: 17 games/ 2 goals/ 0 assists
< Rodrigo Muniz joined Flamengo's professionals in 2020 and remained at Rubro-Negro until mid-2021, when he was sold to Fulham for 8 million euros (R$50.6 million, at the price at the time). With the Sacred Mantle, the striker played in 28 games, scored ten goals and provided one assist.

IT'S PENTA, IT'S PENTA! Flamengo beats Atlético-mg again and wins its fifth Brazilian Cup in history
The red-and-black team wins another title for its trophy cabinet

Sunday was magical for Flamengo fans across Brazil. This is because the club won its fifth Brazilian Cup in history, beating Atlético-MG again, this time by 1-0 (Plata's goal) in Belo Horizonte. Adding to this, the team led by coach Filipe Luís was the first champion of Arena MRV.
Summary
Very busy first half at Arena MRV, despite the zero on the scoreboard. Gabriel Milito's Atlético had more of the ball and dominated much of the game, but Flamengo got scared with several attacks and tried to balance the match. The best chance, in fact, was from Fla: a header from Arrascaeta that knocked paint off Everson's post. The team led by Filipe Luís held on well and so far knew how to manage the 3-1 advantage built in Rio de Janeiro. Galo almost scored with shots from Hulk (a hit from outside the area) and Paulinho (in a mistake with the red-black ball). The first stage also saw complaints from the Flamengo fans due to a foul by Lyanco on Arrascaeta - for them, the defender should receive a red card instead of a yellow one.
The second half was in the same panorama as the first until 10 min. Then, leaving many defensive spaces, Flamengo piled up chances to open the score, mainly with Michael. This happened because, with the need to score at least two goals, Atlético went forward, leaving Fla with the counterattacks. Time passed and Filipe Luís' team continued to have the best chances, even with the score in their favor. After so many chances, finally the goal: At 39', Gonzalo Plata takes advantage of a counterattack, gets in the face of the goalkeeper and, through cover, scores the goal that declared the Copa do Brasil title for Fla and the first title in the history of Arena MRV .
And now?
With the title, Flamengo ends the Copa do Brasil, increases the club's revenue from the prize pool and guarantees place in the next Libertadores in 2025. However, the Brazilian Championship still remains. The red-black team is in fourth place, with 58 points and very little chance of winning the title.
Fla's next opponent will again be Atlético-mg. This time the match will be at Maracanã, for the national championship. The duel takes place next Wednesday, at 8pm.

Ex-Flamengo joins Italian club list after coach's dismissal
Team from the Italian capital will go to its third coach after a start far below what was expected by the leaders and ex-Mengão appears as a possibility

After a brief and not very impactful visit to Flamengo in 2022, Portuguese coach Paulo Sousa is now in the sights of Roma, who are looking for a new commander after dismissing Ivan Juric< /b>. Currently at Al-Ahli, in the United Arab Emirates, Sousa is one of the main names considered for the position at the club in the Italian capital.
According to the Italian newspaper Gazzetta Dello Sport, Sousa is part of a list of coaches evaluated by Roma, which could count on its third coach only in 2024. De Rossi started the year in charge, while Juric lasted just 13 games before being released. If the Portuguese is chosen, he would return to Italy, where he already has an established history as a player for Inter and Juventus and as a coach for Salernitana .
No Flamengo, Paulo Sousa accumulated32 games, with 19 wins, six draws and seven defeats. He led the team to runners-up finishes in the Supercopa do Brasil and Carioca before leaving the club.
Paulo Sousa also participated in the historic conquest of the Libertadores 2022, when Flamengo had the best campaign in the history of the main team South American club tournament, when, under his command and that of Dorival Jr, Mengão had 12 wins and only one draw in 13 games in the continental competition. The only game in which Mais Querido did not win was precisely under the command of the Portuguese, against Vélez, who scored the equalizer in an irregular manner. The match, however, did not have VAR, so the goal was not invalidated.

The Brazilian Cup final between Flamengo and Atlético-MG starts soon, with the team from Minas Gerais needing at least two goals to dream of the title, as Mais Querido won the first game in the Maracanã by 3 to 1. The match will be played this Sunday (10), at 4pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, and will feature an Atlético team armed with three defenders, maintained by coach Gabriel Milito.
Atlético-MG Lineup
Everson; Lyanco, Battaglia and Junior Alonso; Scarpa, Otávio, Alan Franco, Guilherme Arana and Zaracho; Hulk and Paulinho.
Atlético-MG has two important absences: Deyverson, highlighted in the qualification for the Libertadores final with two goals against River Plate, and Fausto Vera. Both have already played in the Copa do Brasil for other clubs (Cuiabá and Corinthians, respectively) and cannot defend Atlético in this competition. Milito, in doubt about the third attacking player, decided on Zaracho, forming an offensive sector with two attackers, as in the first game, instead of three, as has been the case in the Libertadores.
Flamengo Lineup
At Flamengo, Filipe Luís also closed doubts about the lineup, choosing Michael to start on the left wing, repeating the formation used at Maracanã. Rubro-Negro goes to the field with:
Rossi; Wesley, Léo Ortiz, Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Pulgar, Everton Araújo and Arrascaeta; Gerson, Michael and Gabigol.
With a two-goal lead, Flamengocould even lose by one goal to secure the fifth Brazilian Cup title.
