Renato Augusto, a former Flamengo player and currently at Corinthians, faces an uncertain situation regarding his future at the São Paulo club. His contract with Corinthians expires in December, and to date, the 35-year-old midfielder has not yet received any offer for a contract renewal.
According to reports, Mais Querido may try to make a move on the midfielder at Tite's request for the next season. Despite his age, it is internally believed that the athlete would be able to add to the team and be a creative option in midfield.
Renato Augusto is known for his career in Brazilian football, having played exclusively for Flamengo and Corinthians. During his time at Flamengo, he won the 2006 Copa do Brasil and the 2007 Campeonato Carioca, highlighting himself by scoring a goal in the final against Botafogo at the iconic Maracanã. He later moved to Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, before excelling in the Brazilian national team under the command of Tite, who is now Flamengo's coach.
It's Interestingly, former Flamengo director Felipe Ximenes mentioned that in 2014, during the World Cup break, he presented a list of 12 players he wanted to sign, and that list included the name of Renato Augusto. However, the signing of Renato Augusto did not materialize at that time, in part due to concerns related to the player's injury history.
— I remember that at the 2014 World Cup parade, I presented a list of 12 players for us to sign. At that moment, I wanted us to hire Renato Augusto, but I was defeated. He had a history of injuries, but then who paid the price: ‘Ah, he didn’t want Renato?’, Felipe Ximenes (laughs). However, of course I wanted him. But it ended up being good for him particularly, in 2015 it was a fantastic year for Renato, revealed Felipe Ximenes, participating in the Charla Podcast.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

De la Cruz returns to the starting lineup in place of Léo Ortiz, and Alex Sandro and Plata were retained. The duel with the Uruguayans is the first between the teams in the quarter-finals of the Copa Conmebol Libertadores.
Alex Sandro and Plata, debutants in last Sunday's classic, remain in the team after having good performances in the draw against Vasco. Gabigol is now out of the relationship due to fibrosis in the posterior muscle of his right thigh. Flamengo, in a statement, reported that the athlete did not suffer any injury in the region. Check it out:
"The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that the athlete Gabriel Barbosa underwent tests that did not diagnose an injury to the posterior muscle of his right thigh. However, the Technical Committee opted for precaution and did not list him for the duel against Peñarol due to fibrosis in the region. Gabi is handed over to physiotherapists and physical trainers for the series of decisive games of the season."
