Flamengo sent Zenit (RUS) a formal offer for the purchase of midfielder Wendel. The team from Rio is willing to pay around 13 million euros (almost 67 million reais at current prices) for the player. The information was released on the same day that the Russians rejected Mengão's offer for striker Claudinho.

After a week filled with rumors and speculation about Wendel's future at Flamengo, the club finally made an official proposal. Sources connected with the player's representatives had already confirmed that he and the team had made a verbal agreement. In addition, he made clear his personal desire to return to Brazil and stay in Rio de Janeiro with the rubro-negro on social networks. What was missing was exactly the step taken this Monday (24): to start negotiations with the club to which he belongs.


Zenit (RUS) currently has two players that Flamengo is interested in. The first hiring attempt failed. Also this Monday (24) it was reported that Mengão's proposal for striker Claudinho was rejected by the Russians. The offer of 15 million euros was replaced by a counter proposal of more than 25 million euros, which the Brazilian club is still evaluating. The agreement would be for the purchase of 100% of the economic rights of the young man. The decision came after the European team defined that they would only make the negotiation if it were for a definitive pass. Flamengo's initial idea, however, was to ask for a loan from the player.


However, what sources close to both parties indicate is that, seeing the difficulties in hiring Claudinho, Mais Querido decided to act quickly. Running out of time, Fla hopes to close the deal by the end of the week to register Wendel for the Libertadores round of 16. For the Copa do Brasil, the deadline is the 8th of August, after the end of the transfer window, so there is no problem for the second leg of the semi-final.

Flamengo will face Grêmio in Porto Alegre, but an important absence has already been confirmed: Gabigol, one of the team's main attackers, will not travel with the red-black delegation. The player will remain in Rio de Janeiro, where he will focus on improving his physical form. The decision not to take the striker to the capital of Rio Grande do Sul aims to ensure that he has enough time to dedicate himself to physical preparation at Ninho do Urubu, the club's training center. Although there is no confirmed injury, Flamengo appears to be taking precautions to avoid wear and tear that could compromise the remainder of the season.

This choice may surprise some fans, as Gabigol is one of the team's key players and, generally, an undisputed starter in decisive matches. The absence of Gabriel Barbosa, known as Gabigol, raises questions about how Flamengo should arm the team offensively for the clash. Despite Gabigol's absence, Flamengo has alternatives in attack, with players like Pedro and Bruno Henrique, who can take the lead. The expectation is that the coach will use these options to compensate for the striker's absence.


THE CLUB HAS ANOTHER LOSS 

The decision to spare Gabigol may be related to the club's long-term planning. Flamengo faces a marathon of important games, and the physical recovery of its athletes becomes essential to maintain performance in simultaneous competitions. According to information released by Mauro Cezar, Gabigol is focused on improving his physical side. This could mean that the player has been feeling the wear and tear accumulated throughout the season.

Flamengo has adopted a strategy of preserving some of its main players at certain times, aiming to avoid injuries that could sideline them for long periods of time. periods. This preventive measure is common in clubs that compete in several competitions and have a tight schedule. With this, the idea is that the athlete returns in better condition, ready to perform at a higher level in the next matches.

Forward Michael, from Flamengo, took an important step towards his return to the field this Friday (20). The player, who was away from activities due to an injury, participated in activities on the field, signaling an accelerated evolution in his recovery process. Although the initial deadline for his return was two months, the athlete's performance exceeded medical and technical expectations, opening up the possibility of an earlier-than-expected return.

Michael was injured a few weeks ago, in a situation that worried the medical department and Flamengo's technical committee. The injury, which would initially require more extensive treatment, led to the expectation of a prolonged absence. The deadline initially given by the doctors was two months, a period considered reasonable for the player to fully recover and be able to return to his normal activities at the club without the risk of a relapse.

A RETURN BEFORE TIME < /b>

However, over the last few weeks, the player has shown impressive progress, which has generated optimism among Flamengo members. This Friday, Michael held his first training session on the field since his injury, an important milestone in the rehabilitation process. This activity is an indication that the player may be able to return to the starting lineup soon, if there are no new setbacks in his treatment.

The medical department of Flamengo remains cautious, but does not hide its optimism with the attacker's progress. The better-than-expected recovery, both in terms of time and performance, is seen as a positive sign for the club, which is counting on the player at a crucial moment of the season. With several important commitments in sight, Michael's presence would be a valuable reinforcement for the red and black team, which seeks to remain competitive both in the Brazilian Championship and in international competitions.

Flamengo was about to close an agreement with Zenit to sign Claudinho, but negotiations did not progress as expected. The Russian club made negotiations difficult, demanding high amounts and prolonging the talks until the end of the transfer window. This situation almost compromised Flamengo's planning for the remainder of the season, especially during the month of August, when the squad needed to be complete to face the challenges of the ongoing competitions.

Despite this setback, Flamengo's management Flamengo managed to overcome the situation efficiently. Instead of insisting on negotiating with Zenit, the club redirected its focus and brought in a player 5 years younger than Claudinho, for a similar amount to what would be paid to the Russian club. This change in strategy ended up proving beneficial for Flamengo, who not only saved money in terms of the player's age and growth potential, but also guaranteed a signing that, in the end, could be more advantageous in the long term.

FLAMENGO HAS A NEW DIRECTION IN NEGOTIATIONS


Although the delay in the transfer window generated concern and almost compromised the team's performance in August, the board managed to reverse the situation in time. The new reinforcement arrives with great expectations and can contribute significantly to the team, especially considering his age and potential.


The experience serves as a learning experience for the Flamengo in future negotiations, showing that insisting on an option is not always the best strategy, and that being prepared for alternatives can bring even better results. In short, Flamengo knew how to transform a complicated situation into an opportunity. Instead of focusing on the difficulties imposed by Zenit, the board acted quickly and found a solution that, apparently, could be even more advantageous for the club in the medium and long term.
