O Flamengo started the Campeonato Carioca on the wrong foot,after losing to Boavista by 2 to 1 this Sunday (12). For now, Mengo is being led by Cléber dos Santos, as Filipe Luís and the main players are in the United States. Thus, in a press conference after the defeat, the under-20 coach pointed out that the preparation time was to Fla's disadvantage.
— We faced a team that had been preparing for longer. They came with a lower markup proposal, we tried to make a more organized team. Especially in the first half we had volume in the game but we did little damage to the opponent's goal. This will be our focus from the next training onwards so that we can be more aggressive in the last third — he said, before finishing:
— It is certainly possible (to improve). Our speech at the beginning of the season is about an opportunity that we are all having to represent Flamengo. These four games will be very important for both us and the main team. Of course we are not satisfied with the result and what happened today, we will still improve a lot in the next rounds. We will have a conversation internally to improve in the next rounds— concluded Cléber dos Santos.

As in previous years, Flamengo will compete in the initial rounds of Carioca with a squad younger. This is because the Rubro-Negro professional team is carrying out pre-season in the United States, preparing for the 2025 competition marathon. In this way, Fla's under-20 players will represent Mais Querido until the fourth round .

After losing to Boavista, the Flamengo focuses on Carioca's next match, against Madureira. Mais Querido takes the field this Thursday (16), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Amigão, in Campina Grande.

Palmeiras announced the signing of 19-year-old striker Felipe Teresa from Flamengo. The young player was released by the Rio de Janeiro club on September 22, 2025, after behavioral issues stemming from dissatisfaction with losing his starting spot in the under-20 team.
According to Rádio Itatiaia, the striker's contract with Alviverde will last two seasons, and the São Paulo club will retain 70% of the player's economic rights . Felipe Teresa 's arrival is seen as a strategic reinforcement for the attacking sector and comes at no cost.
Discovered by Independente de Limeira, Felipe Teresa joined Flamengo in 2022, at just 15 years old. In 2023, he was promoted to the main squad, scoring a goal against Grêmio in the Brazilian Championship. Along the way, he accumulated significant titles, including two U-20 Libertadores Cups (2024 and 2025) and two U-20 Club World Cups (2024 and 2025), in addition to the 2025 Carioca Championship.
With notable spells at Flamengo , Felipe Teresa arrives at Palmeiras as a competitive option for the attack , being able to compete for position with the main names of the under-20 team and contribute with mobility and efficiency in finishing.

Taty Castellanos ' agents have again moved to secure a transfer for the Argentine striker from Lazio. A new negotiation attempt is expected to take place in the January 2026 transfer window, a period during which Flamengo remains alert for potential offensive reinforcements.
The player was already on the Rubro-Negro's agenda in July 2025, but the Italian team ruled out any possibility of negotiations at that time. At the time, football director Angelo Fabiani stated that Castellanos "was not for sale," ending negotiations and frustrating the Rio de Janeiro club's interest.
Now, the player's representatives are awaiting a new statement from Lazio to assess whether there will be room for talks. Flamengo , for its part, continues to monitor the situation and sees the Argentine as a candidate capable of increasing internal competitiveness, competing with Pedro for a position.
The striker arrived at the Roman club after a successful stint with Girona , costing €15 million (approximately R$96 million at the time). Since then, he has scored 20 goals and provided 13 assists in 86 official matches, a performance that has also attracted interest from South American teams.
The 25-year-old Argentine is recognized for his mobility and excellent finishing, characteristics that fit the style of play sought by Flamengo . The board is considering strengthening the attacking sector for 2026 , and Castellanos remains one of the options on their radar.
