With the 2023 season approaching its end, clubs are already beginning to outline their plans and strategies for the year 2024. In this context, Internacional has its eye on a former Flamengo striker, who currently defends the Al Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia. The name that is on the Colorado radar is Vitinho. According to information released by journalist Luiz Carlos Reche, from 'Rádio Grenal', Vitinho has the possibility of returning to Internacional next season.
This possibility is directly linked to the presidential elections of the club from Rio Grande do Sul, where, if Roberto Melo is elected, signing the striker would be one of the priorities. It is worth noting that there is already an agreement well underway between the manager and the player. For Vitinho, this would be his second spell at Internacional, having worn the Gaucho club's shirt in 2016. Before joining Flamengo, the striker also had a spell at Botafogo, which makes his return to Brazilian football even more interesting .
At Flamengo, Vitinho fulfilled a dream by wearing the Sacred Mantle in 2018, becoming the most expensive signing in the club's history at that time, with a cost of approximately 10 million euros, which was equivalent at around 44 million reais at the exchange rate at the time. During his stay at Rubro-Negro, the striker was part of one of the most successful squads in history, contributing to the victory of the Copa Libertadores da América in 2019, in addition to two Brazilian Championship titles, in 2019 and 2020. In 2022, Vitinho made the move to Al Ettifaq, in Saudi Arabia.
With Vitinho's possible return to Internacional, Flamengo focuses on other market issues. The red-black board is directing its efforts towards renewing contracts with some players on the current squad. Negotiations are already advanced with names like Gabigol and Bruno Henrique, who are close to extending their ties with the club. On the other hand, the situation of players like Everton Ribeiro, Rodrigo Caio and Filipe Luís remains uncertain at Rubro-Negro, generating expectations and unknowns regarding the future of these athletes in the Rio team.
In short, football Brazilian is moving in search of reinforcements and renewals, while the clubs prepare for another cycle of challenges in the 2024 season. Vitinho's possible return to Internacional is one of the highlights of this process, rekindling the hope of the Colorado fans in counting on the attacker talent. Meanwhile, Flamengo focuses on keeping key pieces of its current squad, but with some uncertainty regarding the future of important players. The football market remains busy, and the next few months promise to be decisive in defining the direction of some of the main clubs in Brazil.

Psychic Luiz Filho, known for his channel Renascer das Cartas, shared his spiritual predictions for the clash between the Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro teams. According to him, the cards reveal a balanced outlook, but slightly favorable to the home team . " Atlético-MG came with the High Priestess card. This indicates a good understanding of the game and strategic preparation. The club will know how to capitalize on the result and turn it into an advantage," said the psychic.
For the Mais Querido side , the reading was less comfortable : " Flamengo also has a difficult card, which is the "Hanged Man" card, of resilience. They'll need to use their creative side. I see a lot of balance; Atlético-MG will have a good start. Flamengo may struggle, but they'll have a lethal outcome. However, I see more possibilities for Atlético-MG."

In the first leg, played at Maracanã, the Minas Gerais team won 1-0 and now has the advantage of a draw to secure qualification for the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, Rubro-Negro , coached by Filipe Luís, needs a simple one-goal victory to take the final to penalties. A win by two or more goals will advance directly to the next stage of the tournament.
Atlético is in good form. Cuca's team has won its last two matches. First, it beat Flamengo 1-0 in the first leg of the round of 16, despite playing away from home. Last weekend, in a Brazilian Championship match, the Minas Gerais team dominated Red Bull Bragantino and emerged with a 2-1 victory.
On the red-and-black side, coach Filipe Luís will have to deal with important absences. Bruno Henrique and Luiz Araújo are not on the roster due to workload constraints, a result of the season's backlog of matches.

Given Flamengo's recent difficulties in signing a new number 9, a speculated name has resurfaced among fans: Gabriel Jesus . The Brazilian national team striker, currently at Arsenal in England, has reportedly been placed on the London club's transfer list for the next transfer window.
The asking price is around £30 million (approximately R$191 million at the current exchange rate) . The push for attacking reinforcements gained momentum after rejections from players like Lucas Beltrán and Mehdi Taremi, who opted to remain in European football.
Despite being one of the most mentioned names by fans on social media and specialized forums, Gabriel Jesus' arrival in Brazilian football is considered extremely unlikely at this time. Arsenal's proposed fee is far above the financial reality of South American football, even for a club with significant investment power like Flamengo .
In addition to the high transfer fee required, the player's current salary—comparable to Premier League standards—would pose an even greater challenge. The English club, seeking to balance its finances and make room for reinforcements in other positions, sees the Brazilian striker as one of its main bargaining chips in the next window.
Flamengo 's board continues to monitor the market for a center forward who fits the profile desired by Filipe Luís's coaching staff. After frustrations in negotiations with players who opted to remain on the Old Continent, the club is seeking viable alternatives that can strengthen the squad without compromising its financial planning.
