DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? EVEN WITHOUT BUYING GABIGOL FROM FLAMENGO, CRUZEIRO IS THE CLUB WITH THE MOST SPENDING IN BRASILEIRÃO

Gabigol, away from Flamengo while he decides the next steps of his career, has Cruzeiro as one of those interested in signing him. Due to those ironies that football produces, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais face each other this Sunday (30), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. The player's presence could add an extra ingredient to the already fierce confrontation.
Although they want to have the striker in their squad, now or at the end of the season, Raposa already surpasses Flamengo in one aspect: being the team of Series A that invested the most money in reinforcements during the year. This fact highlights Cruzeiro's ambition to strengthen its squad to compete at a high level in the national championship.
Much of this is due to the change in command of the SAF. If with Ronaldo spending was reduced to R$11.8 million on four players (Lucas Romero, Juan Dinenno, Lucas Villalba and Álvaro Barreal), the situation changed completely as soon as Pedro Lourenço took power. The new Cruzeirense management brought a philosophy of aggressive investment in the transfer market.
The new Cruzeirense manager promised to give the club a new face and went to the market with "hungry" to guarantee signings of impact. In this wave, names such as strikers Lautaro Díaz and Kaio Jorge, midfielders Fabrizio Pereira, Matheus Henrique and Walace, and defender Jonathan Jesus arrived. Not to mention goalkeeper Cássio, hired free of charge, further reinforcing the team.
In addition to these reinforcements, there is also the money invested to permanently sign defender João Marcelo and midfielder Matheus Pereira . Thus, Cruzeiro spent the equivalent of R$188 million on players, more than the R$162 million spent by Flamengo. This demonstrates the Minas Gerais team's determination to build a competitive squad.
The difference is that, if Raposa paid all this in 17 athletes, Rubro-Negro invested all this amount in four names: defender Léo Ortiz, left-back Matías Viña, midfielder De La Cruz and striker Carlinhos. This discrepancy in the number of players acquired reveals different market strategies between the two clubs.
It is also worth remembering that Cruzeiro had an agreement with Dudu, who in the end renounced the deal to continue at Palmeiras. Gabigol could further unbalance this ranking in favor of Cruzeiro, if the team from Minas Gerais insists on signing him and reaches an agreement with Flamengo. According to ESPN, the locals are even willing to release number 99, as long as they receive financial compensation that they deem consistent with the attacker's value.
Behind the scenes aside, the clubs duel on the field this Sunday in similar situations in the table. Flamengo, at home, seeks to forget the defeat against Juventude and regain the lead, which was theirs at the beginning of the round. Cruzeiro, with 20 points, wants to stay on top of the top four, making the game even more crucial for both sides.

Unable to enter the field, injured, Luiz Araújo announced this Thursday (24) on her social networks, the birth of her second daughter. With the name Celina, the Flamengo player and his wife, Ingrid Cantarini, celebrate the special moment in a post on Instagram.
When will Luiz Araújo return to play for Flamengo?
Treating a serious injury to the cartilage of his right knee, the initial, and more optimistic, predictions point to a return for Luiz Araújo to the lawns later this year, in mid-November.
However, internally Flamengo's understanding of the case is pessimistic. Although the club assesses that the number 7 is an athlete capable of recovering quickly from injuries, the expectation is that he will only return in 2025.
Luiz Araújo suffered a blow injury, in a derby against Vasco, in the Brasileirão, just over a month ago . What didn't seem so serious turned out to be a complex injury, with a tedious recovery.

However, this coincidence of dates, especially in the cities of Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro, may cause logistical difficulties for participants”, predicted an excerpt from the note.
Decision times between Flamengo x Atlético-MG may clash with the time for testing
Despite the order of field and dates have already been revealed, the times for the matches between Flamengo x Atlético-MG have not yet been decided, although taking into account the TV schedule, it is almost certain that they will take place at 4pm (Brasília time). Therefore, considering that the gates of the test sites will open at 12pm, with the end scheduled for 7pm, the match will take place in the middle of the ENEM.
