Red Bull Bragantino made a new proposal to Flamengo to acquire young midfielder Matheus Gonçalves. The São Paulo club, known for its investment strategy in promising talents, offered 8.5 million euros (equivalent to approximately R$52.1 million) for 70% of the player's economic rights. The proposal is divided into two parts: 7 million euros (R$42.9 million) as a fixed amount and another 1.5 million euros (R$9.1 million) in bonuses conditioned on meeting targets established in the contract.
Flamengo, in turn, has not yet given a definitive answer to Bragantino and is evaluating the proposal. Matheus Gonçalves, who stood out in the Rio de Janeiro club's youth categories, has been closely monitored by several teams, both in Brazil and abroad. However, Bragantino's interest has proven to be the most concrete to date, with the offer formalized and in the process of being analyzed by the red and black board.
FLAMENGO IS ONCE AGAIN SUFFERING HARASSMENT < /b>
Bragantino's new proposal demonstrates the club's commitment to reinforcing its squad with young talents, a strategy that has been one of the team's trademarks in recent years. With the financial support of Red Bull, Bragantino has been able to compete in market terms with other major Brazilian clubs, offering not only significant values, but also an attractive career project for young players.
In the case of Matheus Gonçalves, the negotiation involves a series of factors that need to be considered by Flamengo. First, there is the player's growth potential, which could increase in value even more in the near future, which would justify maintaining a greater share of his economic rights. Furthermore, Flamengo needs to consider athlete's need in the current squad, considering both performance on the field and the impact of his departure on the team's structure.
Another point that weighs in the decision is Flamengo's recent sales history. The Rio club has stood out for carrying out million-dollar transactions in recent years, selling athletes such as Vinícius Júnior, Lucas Paquetá and Reinier to European football. These successful negotiations reinforce Flamengo's image as a talent builder and a source of significant revenue through the sale of players. However, the club has also shown care not to

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.
Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks. According to Radio Província 1270 in La Plata, the change could result in only one striker on the field , demonstrating a more solid defensive posture.
Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.
It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.
With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.
