Zico, greatest idol in the history of Flamengo, also inspired world football stars. This is the case of Ronaldo Fenômeno, star of the Brazilian national team and considered one of the greatest center forwards in football. In this way, the former player revealed how "Galinho! helped him, on and off the field.
In an interview with ESPN, he reinforced that Zico is his great inspiration. Even though the two are from different eras, since the "Galinho" ended his career in 1994, and the former striker was not yet the Phenomenon, but he took his first steps as a professional for Cruzeiro in the same year.
“Zico was a great inspiration for me, always I declared this. It helped me a lot, both technically in football and personally, in my private life. I always tried to copy his steps", he said.
END OF CAREER STOPPED
So much Zico and Ronaldo had a similar end to their careers. This is because they both retired with a serious problem in their right knee. However, the King said goodbye to the field at an older age, at 41. The five-time champion for Brazil, hung up his boots at 35 .
ZICO IN THE BEST TEAM OF ALL TIME
Ronaldo admires Zico so much, he chose him in his best team of all time. In February, the former striker was called by Betfair to form the star team and did not hesitate when placing the former number 10 of Flamengo alongside Maradona.

Right-back Lucyan, a Libertadores and U-20 World Cup winner with Flamengo in 2024, is São Paulo's newest signing. The 19-year-old had been signed by Bahia in March of this year, after being released by Flamengo, but was released by the Bahian team in August due to disciplinary issues. As a result, Mengão lost the 30% stake it had in the initial negotiation.
Lucyan signed a contract with São Paulo until June 30, 2028, with a release clause set at €80 million, equivalent to R$506 million at the current exchange rate. The news about the signing and Flamengo 's loss of the percentage was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
With no space at Flamengo, Lucyan signed a contract with Bahia until December 2027. Flamengo released the athlete without cost, keeping 30% of his economic rights, with an initial termination fee of 100 million euros (approximately R$600 million).
After Bahia released the full-back, the Rubro-Negro team lost its share of the contract. The Bahian team officially announced: " Esporte Clube Bahia SAF announces the release of right-back Lucyan . The U-20 player joined the club in March 2025 and played 16 matches for the Pivetes de Aço."
Lucyan was a starter for Flamengo in the final stretch of the 2024 Copa Libertadores, including the final against Boca Juniors (ARG). At the U-20 World Cup, he was a substitute in the victory over Olympiacos (GRE), coached by Filipe Luís . Born in Cuiabá, the full-back joined Mais Querido in the U-15 category and left the club earlier this year, leaving his mark on the history of recent achievements.

With the group considered strong, Flamengo's board now turns its attention to possible departures. At least three players could leave the club by the end of the window: Lorran, Michael, and Juninho. Lorran is in advanced talks with Pisa, Italy , in a negotiation that could involve a partial sale of his economic rights. Michael and Juninho have received inquiries but are awaiting concrete offers.
Flamengo makes it clear that it will only accept a permanent sale, ruling out loans. In Michael's case, the striker is dissatisfied and, according to reports, has been seeking alternatives in the Arab world for about a month through his representatives.
The board's official position is that there will be no major investments in 2025. Any reinforcements will only be analyzed as a market opportunity. At the same time, the scouting department is already focusing on the medium term and observing the international market. Defenders and goalkeepers are expected to be among the priorities for 2026, as part of a gradual roster renewal plan.
Flamengo shook up Brazilian football this summer by announcing high-profile signings. Players like Samu Lino, Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Carrascal, and Jorginho bolstered the squad . However, the search for a center forward ultimately fell through.
The board's idea was to bring in a striker with different characteristics than Pedro , but the number 9's good form, combined with the presence of Bruno Henrique , Wallace Yan and even Plata, who can play the role, made the board give up investing in the sector at this time.
Rubro-Negro's board is satisfied with the squad after major signings and will not make major investments in the 2025 season.

We've learned exclusively that Flamengo no longer plans to make major investments in its squad this season. The board considers the current roster sufficient for the current competitions , and if any new players arrive, they will only be due to a specific market opportunity.
The offensive sector was once a priority, as the committee was looking for a center forward with different characteristics than Pedro . However, with the number 9's return to form and the presence of options like Bruno Henrique, Wallace Yan, and even Plata filling the role , the need was no longer seen as a priority by Flamengo 's leadership.
The current transfer window was marked by a flurry of activity for Flamengo , which surprised the national scene with some key signings. Players like Samu Lino, Saúl Níguez, Emerson Royal, Carrascal, and Jorginho arrived, but no center forwards were signed.
The main targets were Argentines Valentín Castellanos of Lazio and Lucas Beltrán of Fiorentina. More recently, the name of Brazilian Marcos Leonardo, currently at Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, has emerged, and has been identified as a target for the red-and-blacks by Fabrício Lopes.
Another factor complicating a potential move is the player's own intentions. Marcos Leonardo has already expressed his desire to leave Arab football, but his priority is to return to Europe , not Brazil, in the event of a transfer.
