An important player in Flamengo's 2-1 victory over Mirassol last Saturday (9) , goalkeeper Rossi spoke about his future at the club and the possibility of a contract renewal . The Argentine, the team's absolute starter, has a contract until 2027, but there are already talks to extend the contract.
Rossi on renewing with Flamengo: "I hope to stay here for many years"
With Matheus Cunha's pre-contract signed with Cruzeiro through 2026 , a situation practically confirmed by Filipe Luís at the press conference, Cruzeiro is also considering signing a backup for Rossi . Despite this, the number 1 preferred to be cautious when commenting on the topic.
"These are things that are being discussed, but nothing is resolved yet. Obviously, on a personal level, I'm very happy at Flamengo , very content . I hope to stay here for many years, but these are things that will evolve," said the Argentine in an interview with the website 'MundoBola Flamengo'.
The goalkeeper emphasized that the renewal talks don't interfere with his concentration or performance on the field: "It doesn't take away from the focus of each game. So, we have to keep working and demonstrating on the field to make that moment happen . But that's it: calmness and continuity," Rossi said.
Rossi highlighted the positive moment he's experiencing and praised the work of Flamengo's goalkeeping staff: "I feel good working with the goalkeeping team. We work hard and demand a lot from ourselves when we concede a goal . There's an analysis of every game, but personally, I feel good. That's the most important thing," the goalkeeper declared.
The number 1 also emphasized that he considers it essential to repay the team's defensive efforts: " It makes me feel more important when I can help the team whenever it's needed . That's why I'm there, defending the ball when it arrives. The team works hard to keep it from getting there, and when it does, I have to repay that trust to strengthen our defense," he concluded.
After the victory in the Brasileirão, Flamengo turns the key to the Libertadores . On Wednesday (13), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), the team receives Internacional at Maracanã for the first leg of the round of 16. The return leg will be on the 20th, at Beira-Rio, at the same time.
Recently signed by Mengão, the player is part of Néstor Lorenzo's squad for the decisive games against Bolivia and Venezuela, which will determine the team's future.

Newly arrived at Flamengo, midfielder Jorge Carrascal was called up by the Colombian national team for the last two rounds of the South American World Cup Qualifiers. The list was released this Friday (29) by the Colombian Football Federation and coach Néstor Lorenzo.
Besides Carrascal, only one other Brazilian soccer player was called up: Bahia's Santiago Arias. In total, the 26 players called up are spread across 12 different countries , reinforcing the Colombian national team's international reach.
The Colombian national team will play its final two qualifiers in September. On the 4th, it faces Bolivia in Barranquilla. Next, it travels to face Venezuela at the Monumental Stadium in Maturín.
Currently in 6th place with 22 points, Colombia holds the final spot for direct qualification to the World Cup . The outlook is balanced: a string of victories could vault them into the top spots, but slip-ups could prove costly , as Venezuela (18 points) and Bolivia (17 points) still dream of qualifying.
Unlike Brazil, which has already secured its spot and is using the final matches as a time for coach Carlo Ancelotti's observations, Colombia is playing for its future participation in the World Cup. If it doesn't win, it could finish in 7th place , a position that only qualifies for the intercontinental playoff organized by FIFA .

In addition to the youngsters revealed at the base, Uruguayan Giorgian De Arrascaeta was also honored this Friday (29) at Ninho do Urubu. The midfielder reached a historic mark by becoming the player with the most assists in the history of the Brazilian Championship, surpassing established idols of national football.
Currently with 78 assists, the number 10 surpassed stars like Marcelinho Carioca, Edmundo, Dudu, Pelé, Zico, and Éverton Ribeiro. For this achievement, he received a commemorative plaque from football director José Boto, in recognition of his career and impact on Brazilian football. Of his total, 60 assists were for Cruzeiro , while another 18 were recorded for Cruzeiro between 2015 and 2018.
This season, Arrascaeta has played 41 matches, scored 16 goals, and provided 13 assists. Since joining the Rio de Janeiro club, only in 2021 has he failed to reach double figures in both goals and assists. So far, he has 102 assists in all competitions for the red-and-black team.
Flamengo has resumed negotiations with midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta to extend his contract, currently valid until December 2026. The club intends to ensure the continuity of one of the most decisive athletes in the squad , a central piece in recent achievements.
The next commitment will be this Sunday (1), at 4 pm, against Grêmio, at Maracanã , for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. The Uruguayan will have another opportunity to further increase the numbers that already place him in the history of the tournament and reinforce his weight in the Mengão squad.
After being cleared of misconduct charges by the English FA, the midfielder has once again attracted interest in the European market. West Ham's millionaire value

Tottenham, Crystal Palace, and Manchester City are monitoring the situation of Lucas Paquetá, a West Ham standout and highly valued player in English football. The move comes shortly after the player was acquitted of misconduct charges involving sports betting.
The London club, however, has no intention of facilitating the midfielder's departure and has set a price of £60 to £70 million to release him . This figure is considered out of reach for most clubs at the moment, which could hinder any concrete approach.
At the start of the current season, Paquetá was offered a transfer to Flamengo through his representatives. At the time, West Ham was asking for around £30 million, but negotiations stalled due to the ongoing legal process . Today, the situation is different, as the player has established himself as one of the key players in the English squad.
A possible return to Rio de Janeiro football could have been considered in a different context, but the club has already strengthened its squad with Samuel Lino, Samu, and Emerson Royal, which reduces the immediate need to invest in another midfielder . Even so, it's not ruled out that there may be room for a rapprochement at some point in the future.
Despite the obstacles, the desire of both parties remains alive. Paquetá has expressed his affection and desire to wear the red-and-black jersey again on other occasions , while the club also dreams of having the athlete back. For now, it's a distant possibility, but not ruled out.
