Clubs from other markets may also appear as interested parties, which increases the competitiveness for hiring them. Flamengo, however, counts on the strength of its sporting project and the good relationship with Brazilian players who play abroad, in addition to a recent history of successful repatriations, such as Gabigol and Gerson, which could influence the athlete's decision.
