Flamengo's 2-1 defeat to Santos exposed old red-and-black shortcomings. Arrascaeta's dream replacement, in bad shape, was not on the bench. A name to fill this gap has remained a favorite since the last window: fellow Uruguayan Nicolás De La Cruz.
Flamengo is in constant talks with the staff of Arrascaeta's compatriot to have him at the beginning of 2024. In recent weeks , there were meetings between the parties, and the desire for the transfer is mutual. De La Cruz had already expressed his desire to defend Rubro-Negro in the last attacks. The problem was and still is River Plate.
The 26-year-old midfielder is one of the great symbols of River's current squad. Although they equally share the athlete's economic rights with Liverpool-URU, the Argentines are in charge of the operation. During the last window, as stated by Marcos Braz in press conferences, River Plate proved irreducible and "sat on the fine of US$ 16 million (around R$ 80 million)". Despite the tough game, Flamengo will patiently continue its fight to sign De La Cruz.
Other priority positions are the left back and the defense. Flamengo has already decided that it will not renew Filipe Luís' contract and, therefore, is looking for a player who is capable of fighting for the starting spot with Ayrton Lucas. In defense, Rodrigo Caio will also not have his contract renewed, while Fabrício Bruno, valued, wants to leave the club in the next window. Léo Pereira is another who frequently receives proposals and surveys. Furthermore, he has been dealing with injuries. Given these factors and David Luiz's advanced age, the club sees the need to hire for the sector.
Rodrigo Caio and the defeat to Santos, in fact, helped to expose another gap in the red and black squad: the reduced number of steering wheels. Rodrigo was improvised in the sector, a role he performed during his time in São Paulo. For the game at Mané Garrincha, Tite did not have Pulgar, who was suspended, and Allan, who was injured.
In this way, Flamengo is looking for a midfielder with the ability to mark and build the game. In the last window, Wendel's name was on the radar once again, but the Russians at Zenit were not flexible.
With the Brazilian title practically discarded despite Botafogo's stumbles, Flamengo moves behind the scenes to have a strong enough squad to become champions again in 2024.

They visited the club's headquarters, in Gávea, and trained alongside Flamengo's judo teachers and athletes, experiencing a day full of learning, discipline and sportsmanship.
In total, 70 children, from centers of Cantagalo and Queimados, had the chance to practice judo under the guidance of high-level professionals, reinforcing the values of the sport, such as respect, determination and teamwork.
At the dojô, the children were welcomed by the coach of the under-13 and under-15 red-black judo teams, Rodrigo Domiciano, who, together with club athletes, shared his experiences and spoke about the importance of dedication to progress in the sport. “In the midst of so many negative references, it is essential that these children have positive references. Here they can see that it is possible to reach a higher degree, seek a black belt, seek important competitions and this will change their realities”, he said.
For many, the day was a unique opportunity to become inspire, dream big and continue following the path of sport. “The children came very excited. They've been talking about coming here to Flamengo for a week. It's important for them to be here, in a different place, with so much structure... This all makes them want to dedicate themselves more”, said professor Alves, who teaches judo at Jogaremos Juntos - Núcleo Queimados. Cantagalo resident Leda Maria Pereira de Macedo, mother of student Davi, added. “Children who live in communities need sports so they don't get lost and judo has already got my son back on track. He now has discipline, he has become another child! Davi takes a shower, goes to bed early... I'm very happy. I'm very grateful to have the project there”, she praised.
With its own methodology, Jogaremos Juntos is an education project through sport, based on socio-emotional skills. Through it, children and young people have the opportunity to work on self-knowledge, resilience, empathy, focus and other skills that they learn from sports and put into practice to face and overcome challenges in life, whether at school, in family or with friends.
