The Flamengo market is busy . After signing Michael and forwarding the sales of Wesley and Fabrício Bruno to European football, another player could leave Rubro-Negro for the Old Continent: Arrascaeta. According to Turkish newspaper A Spor, Galatasaray wants the Uruguayan to compete for position with Belgian Dries Mertens. The Turkish club has already drawn up a plan for this.
The idea is to convince Arrascaeta to move to Europe through goalkeeper Fernando Muslera and midfielder Lucas Torreira, who play for Galatasaray and play with Arrasca in the Uruguay national team. Flamengo's current number 14 has not yet played in European football and is already 30 years old. In other words, it could be the midfielder's last chance to play in the old continent in his career.
The portal's report also states that Galatasaray is evaluating an investment in Arrascaeta for 15 million euros, something close to R$90 million. The termination fine outside Brazil provided for in the contract is 50 million euros (almost R$268 million). The good news for the red and black is that Rodolfo Landim has already made it clear that he will not sell the player until the end of his term: the end of 2024.
Arrascaeta's contractual situation with Flamengo
Arrascaeta's current commitment to Flamengo ends in 2026. Previously, the contract that ended at the end of 2023 was renewed just a year earlier, after months of negotiations. Therefore, Mais Querido's board expects that a new round of negotiations to increase the commitment beyond 2026 will also take time.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed that all national competitions will be suspended during the 2027 Women's World Cup , which will be held in Brazil for the first time and will affect teams such as Flamengo due to the use of the main stadiums in Brazilian football.
CBF coordinator on Brazilian football: "Brazil's calendar will stop"
“During the 2027 World Cup, Brazil 's calendar will stop, including the men's. So, it's a very good opportunity , because whoever is consuming football will be consuming women's football,” said Marina Figueiredo, project coordinator for the Brazilian Women's Teams, during a presentation at Conafut (National Football Conference) this Friday (08).
The tournament will be played between June 24th and July 25th, and both the men's and women's championships will be suspended for a month . Furthermore, Brazilian club training centers must be used by the participating teams.
The measure is being taken because the stadiums of eight host cities will be ceded to FIFA for the games : Mineirão (Belo Horizonte), Mané Garrincha (Brasília), Neo Química Arena (São Paulo), Maracanã (Rio de Janeiro), Beira-Rio (Porto Alegre), Arena de Pernambuco (Recife), Fonte Nova (Salvador) and Castelão (Fortaleza).
Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the season's commitments . This Saturday (09), the team led by Filipe Luís faces Mirassol, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship.

There is no other way without the fans' demands . We have an obligation to give our lives for Flamengo, to prioritize it before our families. We can't control the result, but we want to win and we'll go for it," he stated.
