Flamengo has made a formal offer to sign Arsenal midfielder Jorginho . According to Blog do Nicola, from the R7 portal, the Rio de Janeiro club offered the 33-year-old midfielder a salary of approximately R$2 million per month, in addition to a three-year contract. The Flamengo board has not made an official statement about the move.


IMPASSE WITH ARSENAL COULD DELAY AGREEMENT


Despite Mengão's interest, the negotiation faces an obstacle: Jorginho's contract with Arsenal only ends at the end of June. As the FIFA Club World Cup will be played between June and July, the Mais Querido would need the English club to release the player before the end of his contract. Another factor that could make an early transfer difficult is a financial bonus that Jorginho will receive if he fulfills his contract with the Gunners in full.


This could make an earlier departure less advantageous for the player, who would have to give up the amount to wear the red-and-black shirt in the first half of the year. The interest in Jorginho is part of CRF's strategy to strengthen the midfield sector and bring experience to the team. With high-level competitions on the calendar, the club is looking for a quality player to increase the coach's options and raise the level of the squad.

FLAMENGO TRIES TO REPEAT STRATEGY OF OTHER HIRINGS


Rubro-Negro has already adopted similar strategies in recent signings, such as the arrival of players whose contracts were ending in Europe. The goal is to negotiate directly with the athletes and convince them to accept the club's sporting project. In addition to Flamengo, other clubs may enter the dispute for Jorginho, especially if he decides not to renew his contract with Arsenal. European teams are monitoring his situation, which may make the competition for the Brazilian club fiercer.

So far, Jorginho has not made any public statements about his future. The player continues to play for Arsenal and is only expected to decide his next destination in the coming months, as negotiations progress.   Flamengo are in talks to try to make the midfielder's arrival possible. However, the final decision depends on Arsenal's position and the player's own willingness to bring forward his departure from England.

Estudiantes is already in Rio de Janeiro for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals against Flamengo , scheduled for Thursday (18), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. The Argentine team trained at Fluminense's facilities , preparing for the decisive duel.


Coach Eduardo Domínguez tested a more conservative formation, including an extra defensive midfielder in midfield, as a strategy to contain Flamengo's attacks.

Estudiantes ' likely lineup for the clash includes: Muslera; Gómez, Nuñez, Rodríguez, Arzamendia; Ascacibar, Piovi, Amondarain, Medina, Tiago Palacios; Carrillo.

It's not yet clear whether Piovi will play as an extra midfielder or be replaced by Castro . Amondarain, despite being an attacking midfielder, could drop back and act as a third midfielder, depending on Domínguez's strategy in recent training sessions.


FLAMENGO WILL HAVE A CHALLENGE

With the prospect of a more closed Argentine team, Flamengo, under the command of Filipe Luís, will have to work hard to break down Estudiantes' defense and seek a positive result in the first leg of the Libertadores quarterfinals.
