With extensive experience in European football, the player returns to Brazil to reinforce the left side of the red-and-black team, which recently lost Matías Viña due to injury. Alex Sandro will wear the number 26 shirt and showed enthusiasm for the new phase of his career.
REUNION WITH CARLOS ALCARAZ

The full-back shared that they both talked about their future moves to the Rio club.
“When Alcaraz was negotiating with Flamengo, he asked me if I would also come. He even said: ‘If you go, I will go’. This shows how excited he was to play here, and I'm happy to see him again at a club as big as Flamengo”, said Alex Sandro.

Alex Sandro also expressed his anxiety to feel the Flamengo fans and play at Maracanã. “I'm looking forward to this moment and I hope to be well prepared for when I have the opportunity”, added the full-back.
Before the press conference, Alex Sandro was already registered in the CBF's Daily Newsletter (BID). Despite being available for the game against Corinthians last Sunday (1st), he chose not to participate in the match, as he had not yet trained with the team.
After the game against Corinthians, the squad Flamengo received three days off. However, Alex Sandro and Gonzalo Plata, another recent hire, took advantage of the period to train at CT Ninho do Urubu. Only this Thursday (5), both participated in their first activity with their new companions.

Flamengo 's top scorer in the 2025 Rio de Janeiro title campaign , Wallace Yan is one of Mengão's pleasant surprises at the start of the season. The player has shown different characteristics than he used to in the youth team. The change came after working with Filipe Luís in the under-20s last year. However, the beginning of the relationship was not easy.
he wants to screw me"
“Filipe Luís took me off the team after the 3-0 defeat to Fortaleza (in last year’s Under-20 Brazilian Championship). I said: ‘ he wants to screw me over ’. Then he put me at 9 and asked me to attack the space. I didn’t understand anything . I scored two goals and he said he warned me . He helped me a lot to understand the processes”, said Wallace Yan, in an interview with Julio Miguel Neto.
Before Filipe Luís joined Flamengo 's under-20 team last year, Wallace Yan was a winger . However, the coach saw potential for the current number 64 to play as a center forward and, in the Campeonato Carioca, the change paid off . The youngster from Ninho scored four times in the title-winning campaign.
LOVE FOR FLAMENGO
At 20 years old, Wallace Yan is living a dream. After all, he is passionate about the club . In fact, the striker plans to hang up his boots at Rubro-Negro.
“I want to retire at Flamengo . If I go to Europe and one day have to come back, my priority will be Flamengo. It’s my favorite team, right?” he added.
CHANCE IN THE LIBERTADORES?
Last year's U-20 Libertadores champion, Wallace Yan is now dreaming of an opportunity in South America's top competition. The striker is competing for a spot on the list of players for Venezuela, where Flamengo will face Deportivo Táchira (VEN) on Thursday (03), away from home. The ball starts rolling at 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
