Flamengo presented, on the afternoon of this Thursday (5), left-back Alex Sandro, at Ninho do Urubu. With a long history in European football, the player was hired to reinforce the team after Matías Viña's injury. Alex Sandro expressed his satisfaction in joining the team and expressed great expectation of being able to play for the club soon.
In addition to the player's presentation, the press conference was attended by the executive director of football, Bruno Spindel, who responded about the possibility of new signings to reinforce the red and black squad.
RESPONSIBILITY IN HIRING
< When asked about the budget for a possible new signing, Spindel highlighted the club's financial responsibility. “We have three more center forwards available to Tite. Flamengo is always attentive to the market. As soon as the news about Pedro's injury came out, we received countless calls from agents offering players. However, the issue of financial resources is something that we treat with great caution and conservatism", he stated.
Marcos Braz, Flamengo's vice-president of football, also commented on the search for a new striker. According to him, the club was approached by several intermediaries, but there has still been no progress in any negotiations. "We received calls from around 300 people offering athletes. We are analyzing some options, but any decision will be taken calmly and only if we deem it necessary", declared Braz.
FOCUS ON ALL COMPETITIONS< /b>
Another topic discussed was Flamengo's strategy in relation to the competitions it is competing in. Spindel reinforced that the club does not intend to prioritize any competition, despite the tight schedule and recent injuries.
"The issue of serious injuries, like those to Viña and Cebolinha, raised an alarm about the impact of the calendar on our players. We had many athletes called up for the Copa América, which contributed to the wear and tear on the squad. Our focus is to fight for all the titles we compete for, without prioritizing any competition", highlighted the director.
NEW REINFORCEMENTS IN THE CAST< /p>
In addition to Alex Sandro, Flamengo reinforced its squad with names like Carlos Alcaraz, Gonzalo Plata and Michael. According to Spindel, these signings were made to maintain the team's competitiveness on all fronts. Carioca and now we're going to fight for the titles we still have ahead of us. We want to be alive in all competitions and, who knows, fight for the World Cup at the end of the year", he concluded.
The continental competition will start on Tuesday night (1); Mais Querido will face Deportivo Táchira on the 3rd, in Venezuela, at 9:30 pm

The Copa Libertadores will start this Tuesday (1). Thus, Conmebol announced a series of changes to the competition's regulations and defined that the eight-second rule will be present in this edition .
The new rule highlights that if the goalkeeper holds the ball for more than eight seconds, the referee will have to award a corner to the opposing team.
"From now on, goalkeepers will be able to keep the ball for a maximum of eight seconds.
If they exceed this time, they will be penalized with a corner kick in favor of the opposing team. This new rule aims to speed up the game and avoid unnecessary delays ", the entity published.
It is worth remembering that in the old regulations, it was determined that if the goalkeeper delayed the ball throw-in, an indirect free kick would be awarded. However, it was rarely respected by referees and goalkeepers.
Thus, Flamengo continues to prepare for its debut in the Libertadores . The Most Beloved takes to the field on Thursday (3), in a clash against Deportivo Táchira (VEN ), at 9:30 pm, at the Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo Stadium.

Although the next transfer window only opens in June, Flamengo is already keeping an eye on the market. According to information from journalist Raisa Simplicio, from Goal, Mais Querido is monitoring the situation of Richarlison, from Tottenham .
The English team's striker is at the end of his contract and Tottenham are open to hearing offers for the player in the next transfer window. Despite interest from Brazilian clubs, the athlete maintains his preference to remain in Europe, but is willing to evaluate offers and choose the project that best fits his career.
It is worth remembering that in December 2024, Flamengo made a proposal of R$130 million for Richarlison, but Tottenham ended up refusing. According to information from ESPN, the Rubro-Negro's interest in the striker came from coach Filipe Luís .
Furthermore, the red-black coach would have contacted the striker directly to highlight the desire to have him in the Flamengo squad. However, Richarlison's choice was to remain in England .
So, while Richarlison has yet to define his future, Flamengo is getting closer to having Pedro back. The number 9 was reinstated to the red-black squad this past Monday (31) and should be included in a match soon.
