With the possibility increasingly close to being realised, Oscar's arrival at Flamengo would represent an important reinforcement for Tite's team

Midfielder Oscar is about to fulfill his dream of returning to Brazilian football. After remarkable spells at international clubs, the player is on his way to joining Flamengo. The Magazine found that talks between the parties are advanced, and could result in the signing of a pre-contract in the coming days.
Currently linked to Shanghai Port, in China, Oscar has already decided that he will not remain at the club after the end of his contract, scheduled for November this year. Your preference for Flamengo is evident, as previously revealed by the Magazine. The player already had a verbal agreement with the Rio club until December 2023, which indicated his intention to return to Brazil.
The possible signing of Oscar by Flamengo did not go unnoticed by coach Eduardo Coudet, from Internacional. Speaking after the game against São Luiz, in the Campeonato Gaúcho, Coudet expressed his interest in the player. "I want to bring him. I'm not so wrong in looking for him. I've already spoken to the manager that I want Oscar", said the coach.
Oscar has a history at Internacional, where he spent time between the 2010s and 2012. In the last season of that period, he was sold to Chelsea, from England, for around 25 million euros, according to the price at the time. His return to Brazil, now, could take place with the red-black shirt, promising to reinforce Flamengo's squad with his experience and technical quality.
With the possibility getting closer to fruition, Oscar's arrival to Flamengo would represent an important reinforcement for Tite's team. The midfielder, known for his skill and vision of the game, would add quality to the Rio team's midfield sector, further strengthening their chances of winning titles and achieving their goals this season.
The club has a big difference in work

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.
The club cautiously adopts the moment

French striker Anthony Martial, currently on the market, presented a robust financial proposal to Flamengo. Since February, his agent has offered the player to Rubro-Negro. Now, the financial terms of the proposal are on the agenda and show that negotiations could be a challenge for the Rio club.
Martial requires a significant financial package to consider a transfer to Flamengo. The amount requested includes a monthly salary of more than R$2 million, in addition to gloves. This amount refers to a three-year contract, which represents a considerable financial commitment for Flamengo. The French striker, who currently plays for Manchester United, has a remarkable track record in Europe. However, the high cost of signing him is being evaluated by the Rio club. Flamengo< /a>, which already has a strong squad and is one of the main clubs in Brazil, needs to evaluate the financial and strategic viability of this signing.
Since February, Martial's proposal has been circulating, but only now have the financial details been released. Martial's request is high and reflects the market standard for players of his caliber. However, Flamengo is aware that this investment will need to be well evaluated, not only in financial terms, but also in terms of the impact it may have on the team's structure and the club's finances.
O Rubro-Negro has shown interest in strengthening the squad and has been looking for quality players to maintain competitiveness at national and international level. Martial's proposal, therefore, is being analyzed with caution. The high cost can impact other areas of the club's budget and influence future negotiations and hiring. In addition to the financial aspect, Flamengo needs to consider Martial's tactical adjustment to the team's game plan. The French striker has a playing style that can add value to the squad, but the club will need to ensure that he fits well into the strategy and playing style proposed by the coach.
