According to revelations from Pablo Galdêncio, reporter for the channel "Oh Meu Mengão", Gonzalo Montiel, currently on loan at Nottingham Forest, made it clear internally that his heart beats stronger for Flamengo. The Argentine right-back, created by the River Plate academy, expressed his inclination to play for Mais Querido, if he decides to return to the South American continent.

Recently, River Plate showed interest in the player, carrying out surveys in an attempt to bring it back to its origins. However, Montiel seems to lean towards the red and black side, placing Flamengo as his priority, even in the face of proposals from other destinations, such as Al-Ittihad, from Saudi Arabia.

Fernando Serreno, renowned sports journalist, brought to light information that could shake the market: Montiel is no longer part of Sevilla's plans. Also according to Serreno, the Spanish club plans to negotiate for the right-back as soon as he returns from his current loan at Nottingham Forest.

Montiel, 26 years old, is a well-known figure on the South American football scene. Raised in the ranks of River Plate, the player is on loan at Nottingham Forest until June next year. His contract with Sevilla remains valid until mid-2026, but recent events indicate that his future could unfold away from Spanish fields.

Last season, Montiel had a remarkable performance, playing 43 games, scoring a goal and providing three assists to his teammates. However, the current season brought a different scenario, with the player finding less space and participating in only five matches.

Flamengo, known for its passionate fans and high ambitions, could be the next destination for Gonzalo Montiel. His return to South America, especially to wear the red and black colors, would be an exciting chapter in his career. Montiel's situation adds a dose of suspense to the transfer market, and Flamengo fans are certainly eager to see whether this possible reunion with their Argentine roots comes to fruition. Stay tuned for more updates on the right-back's promising future and the twists and turns that could unfold behind the scenes in international football.

In a press conference at Ninho do Urubu, goalkeeper Agustín Rossi spoke about his desire to be called up to the Argentina national team , the current world champion. Despite his dream, the goalkeeper made it clear that his priority remains Flamengo.

Rossi on his dream of joining the Argentine national team: "My job is for Flamengo"

"Obviously, I've always wanted to be called up. I think Brazilian football is very strong, not only in South America, but worldwide as well. In the last call-up, there were players from here. But I'm not thinking about that right now . I think that if I do my job well, that call-up could come," Rossi stated.

TOTAL FOCUS ON FLAMENGO

The Argentine stressed that he keeps his feet on the ground and that his main goal is to continue showing consistency for the Rubro-Negro , who have the best defense in the Brasileirão, conceding only 10 goals in 22 games. At Maracanã, the Mais Querido conceded only three goals.

"I'm in no rush, because my job is for Flamengo , day to day, game to game. My biggest focus is to maintain this streak so that the call-up can come. Of course I have that desire, but I don't treat it as a requirement . I'm Flamengo's goalkeeper, I'm responsible for Flamengo. If the call-up comes, I'll welcome it," he added.

INCOME AND TITLES WITH THE MANTLE

Since joining Flamengo in 2023, Rossi has already won four titles. Last season, he was a key player in the undefeated Carioca Championship and also played in the Copa do Brasil victory. In 2025, he maintained his starting spot in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Estadual . In total, he has represented Flamengo in 125 official matches, establishing himself as a pillar of the team.
