Rodrigo Muniz's journey in European football is about to enter a new chapter. The striker, who came through the ranks at Flamengo and is currently playing for Fulham, is very close to signing with Atalanta in Italy. According to journalist Nicolò Schira, a transfer specialist, talks have made significant progress , and the deal is practically finalized.
The Italian club is preparing a €35 million (approximately R$221.5 million) offer plus bonuses for the 24-year-old striker. The verbal agreement provides for a contract until 2029, with the possibility of a one-year extension.
Flamengo is following the negotiation with great anticipation. This is because, in the 2021 sale, Flamengo retained 25% of the player's economic rights. If the transfer is completed at the reported value, the club should receive approximately €8.75 million (R$55.3 million at the current exchange rate).
The amount could increase with FIFA 's solidarity mechanism, which grants 3% to the training team, representing an additional 1.05 million euros (R$6.6 million). This would bring the total return to around R$62 million , an important financial injection for season planning.
This budget boost comes at an opportune time . After announcing four key signings this summer , Flamengo continues to monitor opportunities to fill gaps in the squad. With more resources available, the board is considering new investments until the market closes in September.
After 19 rounds, the red-blacks and greens remain in a fierce battle for the title, while Cruzeiro appears as the third strong contender.

Favorites for the national title over the past eight years, Flamengo and Palmeiras finished the first round remaining among the competition's protagonists. Since 2018, only Atlético-MG (2021) and Botafogo (2024) have broken the dominance, which has seen the club win three times and the club win two times in that period.
In 2025, the competition remains intense: Flamengo leads with a 38.34% chance of winning the title , while Palmeiras is close behind with a 30.37% chance. It's worth remembering that the Rio de Janeiro team still has a match to play, and the São Paulo team has two games less than their regular schedule.
Cruzeiro, with 37 points and a 22.87% chance of winning the championship , has solidified its position as the leader's direct pursuer. Meanwhile, Raposa has already played all 19 matches of the first round and is coming off two home losses to Ceará and Santos.
In head-to-head matches, the Minas Gerais team stood out, defeating both the red-and-black team and Palmeiras at the Mineirão stadium . To remain in contention for the title, the club will need to repeat these victories in the second half, but this time playing away from home.
The league leader still has a postponed match against Sport, valid for the 12th round, which was rescheduled due to the team's participation in the Club World Cup . A victory in this match could extend the lead in the table and secure Flamengo 's sole lead.
The new striker for the black and white team signed until 2026 and is seen as an important reinforcement to give the attacking sector more options in the final stretch of the season.
