Loaned by Flamengo to Botafogo, defender Pablo is not expected to make his debut in General Severiano. According to journalist Bernardo Gentile, the defender suffered a serious muscle injury in his first time at the CT and should return to action after the other athletes who are handed over to the medical department: goalkeeper John and attackers Jeffinho and Luiz Henrique.
It is worth remembering that Pablo is on loan from Flamengo to Botafogo until the end of the year. However, the rival does not have a purchase option stipulated in the contract. If in the Brasileirão they want to use Pablo against Rubro-Negro, Alvinegro will have to pay a fine to Mais Querido. The value is estimated at R$2 million. If Pablo stands out and receives a proposal, Flamengo can easily sell.
However, in this case, Botafogo would receive a small showcase fee. In total, Flamengo's rival will pay 74% of the defender's wages. With no chance of playing in the Rio Cup, as he played in a Carioca game for Mengão, Pablo is signed up for John Textor's Libertadores team.
A defender hired under the command of Paulo Sousa, Pablo arrived at Flamengo at the beginning of 2022. The player stood out in 2017 for Corinthians, where he was champion of the Brazilian Championship. For this reason, he was even called up to the Brazilian team. But at Fla, he never even managed to be a starter, even though he was part of the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores champion squad in 2022.
With no space at Flamengo, Pablo arrives to replace Adryelson at Botafogo.
The club has a big difference in work

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.

After speeches by the president of Flamengo, Rodolfo Landim, the owner of SAF do Botafogo, John Textor, the Rubro-Negro leader continues to retort. In August, Landim pointed to black and white spending and called for financial fair play in Brazil. Textor gave an interview responding to the manager and, this Thursday (5), made a post on Instagram comparing amounts spent by the teams.
The owner of Botafogo used a post from “Portal Botafoguense”, on Instagram, in which it compares the amounts spent by Flamengo and its club in each sector.
