Flamengo's standout and top scorer in the 2024 Copinha and Under-20 Libertadores Champion, Welinton is Botafogo's new reinforcement for the remainder of the season. The young striker will play in the rival's youth categories. The player returns to Rio de Janeiro on loan, provided by Juventude.
Welinton was one of Mais Querido's highlights in the 2024 São Paulo Junior Football Cup, being the team's top scorer in the competition, with six goals . Furthermore, the striker played as a starter in the under-20 Libertadores, in March, when Rubro-Negro beat Boca Juniors (ARG). However, the player did not find the net in the tournament. In the category's Brasileirão, there were three goals in 11 matches.
The young striker had a contract with Flamengo until July this year, but Rubro-Negro ended up not exercising the right to purchase from Juventude. Thus, the player returned to Caxias do Sul. However, now in September, Botafogo signed with the athlete until the end of December 2024.
It is worth remembering that Welinton's contract with Flamengo was valid until January 2024. However, Tite asked the board to extend the contract for another six months, in order to observe the young man.
For Rubro-Negro to be able to keep the player permanently, the club would have to pay around R$1 million for 50% of the economic rights. In the contract, the teams agreed that Mais Querido could buy 70% for R$ 1.5 million.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.
No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.
The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.
Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .
Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
The offer made is 90% of the club
