Flamengo was interested in hiring striker Deivid Washington, who currently plays for Chelsea. However, negotiations did not progress in time due to the closure of the transfer window. Deivid Washington is a young talent who has caught the attention of clubs around the world, including Flamengo. The red-and-black club showed interest in bringing the player to Brazil, aiming to reinforce its attack.
The objective was to reach an agreement that would be beneficial to both the Flamengo and Chelsea, the club that owns the rights to Washington. One of the main obstacles faced by Flamengo was Deivid Washington's high salary. With a salary of around R$1 million per month according to Raisa Simplicio (GOAL), the player's total cost would be substantial. Even if Flamengo was willing to pay half of this amount, the remaining cost still represented a significant amount, which could impact the club's budget.

In addition to the high cost, another challenge was the time available to finalize the negotiation. The transfer window, which is the period during which clubs can register new players, was closing quickly. Flamengo tried to negotiate with Chelsea to make it more flexible the conditions of the contract and make the contract more financially viable. However, the short period available was not enough to complete the agreement.
With the closing of the transfer window approaching, talks between Flamengo and Chelsea were pressed for time. Flamengo's initial idea was to reach an understanding with Chelsea that would allow a reduction in costs or an adjustment to the loan conditions. However, negotiations were not completed before the deadline. The transfer window is a critical period for football clubs, as it defines the possibility of making new signings. When the window closes, any pending negotiations need to be postponed or canceled, as was the case with Deivid Washington.

Real risk of elimination: Flamengo needs to win the last two games to continue in the Libertadores
Rubro-Negro has five points in four rounds and needs to be perfect in the final stretch of the group stage to avoid depending on other results.

With performance below expectations, Flamengo reaches the final stretch of the group stage of the 2025 Libertadores with warning signals on. The draw in Argentina this Wednesday (7), against Central Córdoba, left Rubro-Negro in a delicate situation in Group C. With only five points added in four games, the team led by Filipe Luís occupies third place in the group . The situation requires 100% success in the two remaining games to guarantee classification without depending on other results.
Updated Group C table:
LDU (EQU): 8 points | Balance +3
Central Córdoba (ARG): 8 points | Balance +2
Flamengo (BRA): 5 points | Balance 0
Deportivo Táchira (VEN): 0 points | Balance -5
The Red-Blacks will have two matches ahead at Maracanã: against LDU and bottom-placed Deportivo Táchira. With six possible points up for grabs, the Rio de Janeiro team could reach 11 and secure a spot in the round of 16. The math is simple: if they win their two remaining games, Flamengo will qualify. In this scenario, the team would overtake Central Córdoba and LDU, who will face each other in the last round. Thus, the Red-Blacks would secure at least second place in the group, and could even finish top.
WHAT IF I STUMBLE?
If Flamengo fails to beat LDU or Táchira, the situation becomes more complex. With a draw or a defeat, qualification would depend on a combination of results. The most “accessible” scenario would be to hope for LDU or Central Córdoba to stumble against Táchira, who have yet to score any points in the competition. But even with this possibility, Flamengo would lose control over its own situation.
FILIPE HAS AN ALARMIST SPEECH
Internally, the talk is that there is confidence in the reaction. Filipe Luís, interim coach and former multi-champion player, maintains a calm tone in interviews. However, behind the scenes, there is concern about the recent fluctuation and the drop in offensive performance in decisive matches. Flamengo's bad phase is not restricted to the continental competition.
Before turning its attention to the Libertadores, Rubro-Negro will face Bahia this Saturday (10), at 9 pm, at Maracanã. The game is valid for the eighth round of the Brasileirão and can serve as a final adjustment before the decisive clashes for the Libertadores. After the draw in Argentina, midfielder Gerson made a direct statement in the mixed zone. The number 8 demanded less talk and more action on the field. The statement went down well with fans, but it also showed that the team is aware of the responsibility.

Flamengo could count on a midfielder who was revealed in the squad for the Club World Cup in June
Negotiations are progressing, and the player shows his desire to return to the club that revealed him, the most beloved one wants to count on the midfielder in the Club World Cup

Talks between Flamengo and West Ham have gained momentum in recent days, and progress in negotiations is based on three pillars: the player's desire to return to Brazilian football, the English club's interest in athletes from the red-black youth team and the upcoming transfer window, with the Club World Cup on the radar.
Internally, Flamengo sees the operation as viable and strategic. Even with Paquetá's trial underway for alleged involvement in sports betting, the club is working with the expectation of the athlete's acquittal and is maintaining ongoing negotiations with legal support. West Ham, in turn, has not ruled out releasing Paquetá.
NEW IN THE CASE
The news is that the English club are willing to accept a trade involving a Flamengo player, preferably a young one with a market in Europe. The names have not been revealed, but the red-and-black squad has several highly valued prospects. Among the names being monitored by the English club are players who have recently sparked interest in the European market, such as Lorran, Victor Hugo, Matheus Gonçalves and Werton.
PAQUETÁ MAY BE INDICTED
Paquetá has a contract with West Ham until June 2027, but has already signaled to the English club his desire to return to Brazil. To this end, the midfielder agreed to reduce his salary from the current R$4.3 million per month to around R$2 million — a gesture that was seen internally as proof of commitment to the red-and-black project.
Flamengo 's focus is to strengthen its squad for the Club World Cup, scheduled to take place at the end of 2025. The club understands that the competition requires high-level players and sees Paquetá as a name capable of elevating the team's level in the finals. In addition to Paquetá, another name that is circulating behind the scenes at Gávea is João Félix, currently on loan from Atlético de Madrid to Barcelona. The Portuguese player is also interested in strengthening the offensive sector, but the situation is more complex. The priority at the moment is to make possible the return of the number 11 who came through the youth ranks.

Flamengo could profit from the sale of a youth player after the Super World Cup, says journalist
Without opportunities in the main team, the attacking midfielder's staff is looking for alternatives to guarantee the young player's development

At 18 years old, Matheus Gonçalves has yet to establish a regular season in Flamengo's professional team. With tough competition in the offensive sector and priority given to more experienced players, the attacking midfielder will only play a few minutes on the field in 2025. Internally, the dissatisfaction of the player's staff is evident. The reading is clear: the athlete needs to play to evolve, and the current scenario does not favor this progression.
In light of this, the agents have already started mapping out clubs for possible negotiations. The initial idea is not to make a definitive sale. The focus is on finding a team where Matheus can play regularly, even if on loan. The priority, at this time, is the player's technical development.
THE MOST LOVED MIDFIELDER CAN BE RELOCATED
Flamengo 's sports management, led by José Boto, has adopted a stricter policy when it comes to releasing young talent. The Portuguese has stated on other occasions that he values training and care in building the careers of youth players. However, Matheus Gonçalves' case is a bit different from this. The midfielder has demonstrated his quality on previous occasions, both in the main team and in the youth categories, and he does not see any progress in his current role as a distant reserve.
THERE IS NO OFFICIAL PROPOSAL
So far, there is no official proposal on the table, but the player's agents are working to change that. Clubs from Series A and B of the Brazilian Championship are being approached, and the situation should improve in the coming weeks. Flamengo 's season is long, and the squad is large. This, in itself, makes it difficult for young players who are unable to gain rhythm to advance. With Filipe Luis prioritizing more established athletes, the window of opportunity is closing even further for Matheus.
In 2024, the youngster had already been loaned to Red Bull Bragantino, where he had some good moments. His return to Flamengo was surrounded by expectations, but the current scenario is the same as before: few opportunities and an uncertain future. People close to the player indicate that the situation has been monitored for weeks. The athlete's desire is to remain at the club, but only if there is room to play. Otherwise, the understanding is that the best alternative is to seek new challenges.
