Goalkeeper Hugo Souza, 27, who had a promising start at Flamengo in 2020 with 27 matches played, is about to receive a new opportunity in Brazilian football. After losing space at Rubro-Negro, Hugo found a good performance in Europe and is now in Santos' sights.
Hugo Souza is Santos' newest target, who is looking for a new goalkeeper for the sequence of the season. Negotiations between the parties are ongoing and, although there is no agreement yet, Peixe is optimistic about the possibility of signing the goalkeeper.
Santos' need to hire a new goalkeeper arises after the serious injury of starter João Paulo, who will be sidelined for several months. At the moment, Gabriel Brazão, ex-Cruzeiro and Inter Milan, has assumed ownership. However, the São Paulo team is looking to reinforce the squad to ensure greater security in the position.
Coach Fábio Carille has already approved the signing of Hugo Souza and understands that he could even fight for the title. With a great stature, Hugo would arrive at Santos with the possibility of making history wearing the Peixe shirt. It all depends, of course, on how your performance will be if the hiring is confirmed.
RETURN TO BRAZIL
Today, Hugo is closer to wearing the Santos shirt and returning to Brazil. Flamengo has a good relationship with the Santos board and the deal is considered very good for all parties involved. Details are missing for the transaction to be made official, but expectations are positive.

The Flamengo adopts a cautious stance in negotiating the football market and, unlike previous years, does not intend to make exorbitant financial investments to make up for shortages. The current management, led by president Rodolfo Landim, has already allocated more than R$329 million to signings this season, making it the second year with the highest spending since 2019, when the club spent R$360.9 million on reinforcements. Even with the large number of signings, the club still faces difficulties in balancing its finances due to low revenue from player sales.
In contrast to the high amount spent on reinforcements, Flamengo isstay experiencing the worst year in terms of athlete sales since Rodolfo Landim assumed the presidency. Transfers made so far total just R$71.4 million, a value that frustrates the board's expectations. Furthermore, important negotiations that could represent a significant improvement in the club's accounts, such as the sales of Wesley and Fabrício Bruno, ended up not materializing. This disparity between spending on reinforcements and the return obtained from sales reflects a market policy that, at the moment, has not generated the expected financial results. Despite attempts to negotiate players and alleviate the wage bill, Flamengo continues without major progress in the field of athlete transfers. The lack of success in sales directly affects the club's financial planning, which is looking for alternatives to deal with the high costs of maintaining a competitive squad without compromising its financial health. The 2023 scenario contrasts sharply with the situation experienced in 2019, when Flamengo achieved a balance between expenses and revenue, driven by notable sales and strategic signings that led the team to important achievements. However, the current season presents an additional challenge: finding solutions to address shortages in the squad without further compromising the club's budget. The lack of success in sales has directly impacted Flamengo's finances, which already had faced difficulties in closing the financial statement at the beginning of the year. With the lack of resources from the transfer of athletes, the board is forced to rethink its market strategy, avoiding signings at any cost and looking for more viable alternatives to strengthen the squad.

The presence of Bruno Henrique could be the key for Flamengo to overcome difficulties in the final stretch of the 2024 season. The team, under the command of coach Tite, remains active in all competitions, but lost Pedro, the team's top scorer. Brazil in the year, which shook confidence in the offensive sector. Gabigol and Carlinhos, immediate replacements for the center forward position, have not yet demonstrated the necessary security to maintain the goalscoring pace that the team needs.
Bruno Henrique, who has shone brightly in other moments for Flamengo, especially in the 2019 campaign under the command of Jorge Jesus, could be the solution to the problems in attack. He was tested by Tite as a center forward in some matches, but ended up losing space in the starting lineup. However, his versatility opens up an important possibility of resuming his role as number 9, something that Flamengo director Bruno Spindel recently highlighted at a press conference. Spindel mentioned that Bruno Henrique is a viable option for the position, expanding the possibilities for tactical adjustments in the team.
Bruno Henrique's story on Flamengoalready has remarkable passages, the most brilliant being in 2019, when under the command of Jorge Jesus, he experienced his peak with the red-black shirt. At that time, although he officially played as a left winger, his role on the field was much more dynamic. With Gabigol occupying a more advanced position in the attack, Bruno's movement was essential to create scoring opportunities. Gabigol dropped back to help with creation, often collaborating with Everton Ribeiro on the right, while Bruno Henrique took advantage of the spaces in the area to finish the plays.
The board thinks carefully

According to Ge, O Flamengo faces an important dilemma with the absence of Pedro, sidelined by a serious injury to his left knee. The center forward, a fundamental piece in the tactical scheme of the team and the Brazilian team, will be left out for an indefinite period of time, which has brought up an internal discussion at the club: whether or not to seek an immediate replacement for the number 9? Several factors complicate this decision, such as the high cost of possible signings, the time needed to adapt a new athlete and the scarcity of quality options available on the market.
Pedro's injury doesn't just affect the Flamengoin the short term, but it could have a significant impact on the competitions in which the club is involved: Copa do Brasil, Campeonato Brasileiro and Libertadores. Pedro had been one of the team's top scorers and protagonists, playing a crucial role in finishing offensive plays. His absence leaves a gap that will be difficult to fill with the players currently available in the squad. Thus, the red and black board is forced to consider whether to invest in a new center forward or trust in a homemade solution.
The club has carried out surveys and seen indications for the signing of players who are "free" on the market and without a contract. The decision to hire a new center forward is not simple, and some points make this process difficult. First, the high cost involved. The transfer window is closed to international signings, and the players available on the national market are either under contract with other teams, which makes the operation more expensive, or do not have the technical level that Flamengo demands.
In addition Furthermore, free athletes on the market generally come from a long period of inactivity, either due to previous injuries or because they have not been linked to a club for months. This lack of rhythm in the game is a real concern for the technical committee and the board, as the Flamengo needs a player who can enter the field and perform immediately, without go through a long period of adaptation or physical recovery. In Pedro's case, the injury occurred at a crucial moment of the season, and the club needs quick responses, especially in short-range competitions like the Copa do Brasil.
