Flamengo faces Ñublense (CHI) in Chile, in a game counting for the 4th round of the group stage of group A of the Libertadores. Flamengo continues to dream of 1st place in the group and for that to happen, victory in this trip is mandatory.


In addition to the injured, Flamengo will have the young right-back, Wesley, prevented from playing due to the double yellow card and expulsion that Cria from Flamengo won in the last Libertadores game, the draw against Racing at the Presidente Perón Stadium.


Because of this, Flamengo will only have 1 right-back available, the Argentine Guillermo Varela who will play his first game for Mengão since its operation. The last time he played was in Mengão's humiliating defeat against Maringá in the Copa do Brasil.


The right-back position has been very exposed since the start of the Brasileirão. When the competition started, Flamengo only had Wesley available. Matheuzinho was recovering (and recovering) from a fractured tibia and Varela was also recovering from an injury. Because of this, Fla's young creation, Wesley, has had many opportunities in the main team, demonstrating that physically he is capable of handling the level of competitiveness that Flamengo requires.

O Flamengo, in preparation for the 2025 season, embarks for the United States on a trip planned by the previous administration, led by Rodolfo Landim. The new administration, led by a strategic committee, inherited the commitments already made and sought to adjust the costs of the pre-season in Orlando.


INVESTMENT OF 700 THOUSAND DOLLARS


To make the trip viable, the board of Mengão allocated around 700 thousand dollars, an amount that covers transportation, accommodation and other logistical costs. Initially, the planned budget would be almost double, but adjustments were made to alleviate the financial impact on the club. The cuts included reducing the number of members in the delegation and reducing the duration of the pre-season abroad. These measures generated savings of approximately 800 thousand dollars, minimizing the effects of a trip that, although important sportingly, does not bring direct financial return to the CRF.


PREVIOUSLY MADE COMMITMENTS

The agreement to hold the pre-season in the United States was closed during the last administration. Despite criticism about costs and the lack of associated revenue, the new management of Flamengo chose to honor its commitments, maintaining the plan so as not to harm the squad's preparation.


Even with the adjustments, the trip represents a considerable expense for Mais Querido. In an economic scenario that requires greater control, the new board signaled that it intends to review future agreements, prioritizing initiatives that bring financial return or strategic visibility to Flamengo.

Although the trip to Orlando< /a> does not generate direct revenue, there are expectations of indirect benefits, such as greater integration of the squad and strengthening of the club's brand in the international market. Mengão's presence at important sporting events in the United States could also open doors for new business in the future.

Understand everything behind Flamengo's refusal of CSKA by Lorran

The red and black team remains firm in its policy of valuing young talents

O Flamengo turned down an offer of 4 million euros (around R$25 million) from CSKA< /a>, from Russia, by young striker Lorran. Revealed in the club's youth categories, the 18-year-old athlete is seen as one of Mais Querido's main promises. The decision was taken this Monday (13) and reinforces the club's commitment to valuing its internally trained talents .


According to journalist Venê Casagrande, one of the main reasons for the denial was the division of economic rights by Lorran. Flamengo holds 70% of the player's pass, while Madureira, another club from Rio, owns the remaining 30%. If the negotiation were completed, Rubro-Negro would receive approximately R$ 17.5 million, while Madureira would pocket R$ 7.5 million.


VALUATION AND LORRAN'S TERMINATION FINE


At the end of 2024, Flamengo renewed Lorran until December 2029, establishing a termination fine of 100 million euros (around R$623.2 million). The value is significantly higher than the proposal presented by CSKA, which also influenced the decision to keep the striker in the squad. The red-black board believes in the player's growth potential and intends to value him even more on the international market.

LORRAN'S PERFORMANCES AT CARIOCÃO 2025


Despite being an important piece, Lorran was not included in the list of athletes who traveled to United States for the Mengão pre-season. He remains in Brazil with the team that competes in the Campeonato Carioca. Last Sunday (12),the young striker was a starter in the match against Boavista, held in Aracaju, highlighting his protagonism in the competition.

Flamengo's stance in relation to CSKA reflects a policy of valuing base talents, a strategy that is increasingly more consolidated in the club. In recent years, Rubro-Negro has sought to ensure that its athletes have adequate appreciation before being negotiated with clubs abroad, ensuring more significant financial returns for the club.

Flamengo is in advanced negotiations to sign Jorginho, Arsenal's 33-year-old midfielder. With a contract valid until June 2025 at the English club, the player aroused interest from Rubro-Negro, who are seeking his release free of charge. Mengão's proposal would be a three-year contract, showing the commitment to the athlete.


FILIPE LUÍS REINFORCES JORGINHO'S IMPORTANCE IN THE TEAM


One of the leaders of the Mais Querido squad, Filipe Luís has already maintained direct contact with Jorginho to highlight the importance that the midfielder would have in coach Tite's scheme. The message conveyed confidence and projected a central role for the player, if the negotiation is completed.


MEETING INVOLVES PLAYER, MANAGEMENT AND COACH

In addition to direct contact between athletes, < b>Flamengo held a video conference with Jorginho, coach Tite and football director José Boto. This meeting was essential to present the club's project and clarify details of the possible transfer, seeking to align expectations between all parties involved.


The CRF board has already presented the negotiation numbers to the athlete and evaluates the best way to formalize the offer. The objective is to ensure the immediate arrival of the midfielder, preventing him from remaining at Arsenal until the end of his contract, which would make it possible to sign a pre-contract from now on.

Despite the interest and willingness of < b>Mengão in closing the deal, the signing depends on Arsenal's release. Without the consent of the English club, Flamengo does not intend to wait until the contract ends and will look for other options on the market. With notable spells at Chelsea and the Italian National Team, in addition to his current relationship with Arsenal,Jorginho is seen as a strategic player to reinforce the Red and Black squad. His experience in international competitions and his technical profile fit into Tite's plans for 2024.
