Flamengo is going through a process of reducing its squad and, in this scenario, Pablo is one of the names that should leave the club in the next few days. The 32-year-old defender, who is not in the plans of Filipe's coaching staff, has already been informed that he will not be used in the second half of the year. Representatives of the player have started talks with Athletico-PR, a club with which Pablo has a strong identification and which currently plays in the Série B of the Brazilian Championship.
The information was published by journalist Vinicius Furlan from Curitiba and confirmed by sources linked to the defender's staff. However, the high salary is an obstacle. Pablo receives amounts that are considered unrealistic for Furacão's current budget for the Second Division. Therefore, the alternative under discussion involves Flamengo paying part of the salary or a renegotiation to reduce the amounts until the end of the year.
The financial situation of Athletico-PR, which is going through a transitional year and is betting on young people, is a determining factor in the negotiations. Internally, Pablo's name is seen favorably, but the board is cautious before moving forward with any type of formal proposal. Pablo has a contract with Flamengo until December of this year and, at the moment, continues to train at different times than the rest of the main group. On some days, he also does physical activities on his own, outside of Ninho do Urubu.
The last time the defender took to the field was during the Campeonato Carioca, in the alternative team put together for the start of the state championship. After that, he was removed from the list of players and began looking for a new destination to play regularly. Since being signed from Lokomotiv Moscow, from Russia, in 2022, Pablo has not managed to establish himself with the Flamengo shirt . In total, he has played 51 matches and recorded only one assist. He has never scored as a player for Flamengo.
Last year, he was loaned to Botafogo, but his time there was disappointing. He only played 28 minutes on the field in nine months, without finding a place under Luís Castro, the rival's coach at the time. He returned to Flamengo at the end of his contract, still with a valid contract. With Léo Pereira, Danilo, Léo Ortiz and Cleiton available, the red-and-black defense is well served. In addition, names like Iago and Darlan are emerging as options from the youth team, which has further reduced Pablo's chances of being used.

Before the duel for the continental competition, the team led by Filipe Luís has a commitment for the Brazilian Championship . On Saturday (9), Flamengo receives Mirassol, at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of Serie A.
Leão goes to Maracanã to face Mengão defending a long period of invincibility and being able to enter the G4 of the Brasileirão
08 Ago 2025 | 19:00 |
Flamengo and Mirassol face each other this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm, at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brasileirão. Rubro-Negro arrives at the clash after being eliminated in the Copa do Brasil, with the mission of winning to maintain the leadership of the competition. On the other side, they will have an opponent motivated by a campaign above all expectations .
Flamengo has 37 points, the same number as Cruzeiro, but leads on goal difference (24 to 19) and still has a game in hand over the Minas Gerais team. A victory at Maracanã will guarantee the Rio de Janeiro club the top of the table at the end of the first round .
Mirassol, meanwhile, is the big revelation in this Série A. In its debut season, the São Paulo team sits fifth with 28 points— the result of seven wins, seven draws, and only two losses in 16 matches . Interestingly, it's the team with the fewest losses in the championship, along with Flamengo . With a victory, the newcomer could enter the top four of the competition.
If Flamengo wins this Saturday, it will end Mirassol's three-month unbeaten streak. The São Paulo team's last loss was to Red Bull Bragantino on May 5th . Since then, Rafael Guanaes's team has won six and drawn three, with an impressive 77% success rate.
Initial projections pointed to a relegation battle, due to an experienced squad, an average age over 29, and several well-known names, such as midfielder Gabriel, formerly of Flamengo . However, the team's performance in the first round exceeded expectations: third-best attack (27 goals) and sixth-best defense (16 conceded), in addition to good results against more popular opponents.
Despite this, the strategy against Flamengo should follow the usual visiting team strategy at Maracanã: a defensive posture, deep lines, and a reliance on counterattacks . Flamengo, in turn, should control possession and look for spaces to create the chances that will secure the victory.
