Flamengo, despite the high expectations of a busy market and major signings, has found itself limited to just two official reinforcements so far. Nicolás De La Cruz and Matías Viña, both Uruguayans, were the only new names announced by the club at the start of the 2024 season.
Together, they represented a total investment of 23.5 million euros, of which 14.5 million euros for De La Cruz and 9 million euros for Viña.
These signings consumed a considerable portion of the budget allocated to transfers, leaving Flamengo with little room for new negotiations. Despite attempts, like the soap opera with Red Bull Bragantino defender Léo Ortiz, there were no significant advances that would indicate the arrival of new reinforcements.
With the closure of transfer window approaching in just 10 days, it looks like Flamengo will have to end this period with just two additions to the squad. But a busier window is expected in the middle of the year, with the opening of the European summer.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Tite defined Flamengo and announced the 11 starters who will face Peñarol, this Thursday, at Maracanã, at 7pm. De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
Match starts at 7pm this Thursday
