According to journalist Gabriel Reis, Flamengo is about to undergo a significant turnaround. Everything indicates that coach Tite is considering the possibility of inviting a new executive director of football to take over the reins of the Rio team's sports department. This decision, which appears to be gaining strength behind the scenes, has the potential to profoundly impact the club's future.


Internally, Rodolfo Landim, Flamengo's president, has expressed dissatisfaction with the club's performance during the season current. This dissatisfaction apparently opened the door for Tite's suggestion regarding a change in football's executive direction. Currently, Bruno Spindel is the name that occupies this strategic position within Flamengo's structure, but his permanence in the position is now in question.


What draws attention is the quality of the conversations between Tite and Rodolfo Landim . They are described as "high level", indicating that both sides are aligned in their visions and have high ambitions for the club's future. This harmony between the coach and the red-and-black president could be a crucial factor in making a decision about changing the football board.


The January transfer window is approaching, and it promises to be encouraging for Flamengo if Tite's decision comes to fruition. The coach will have carte blanche from the football department to request reinforcements, and the club, with its high financial power, is willing to invest heavily to further strengthen the squad. These reinforcements could solidify Flamengo's position as one of the best teams in South America.

The possibility of a new executive director of football brings with it a number of potential questions. Firstly, who will be the person chosen by Tite to occupy this position? What will be your strategic vision for the team? How will this change impact the relationship between the coach and the club's management? All these questions are hanging in the air, creating expectations and uncertainty in Flamengo's environment.


The history of football is full of examples of successful partnerships between football coaches and executive directors. The right combination can result in titles and continued success, while the wrong choice can lead to conflict and underperformance. Therefore, choosing who will lead the football department is an extremely important decision for Flamengo.

Another point to consider is the timing of this possible change. It would take place in the middle of a season, which always brings additional challenges. The new executive director's ability to adapt quickly, understand the team's needs and make strategic decisions will be fundamental to Flamengo's short and long-term success.

In addition, the pressure on Tite will also increase, since he will have more influence on the choice of the new executive director. Sporting results will be closely linked to this decision, and Tite will be closely evaluated by fans and the sports press. In a broader context, this movement at Flamengo is a reflection of the dynamism and constant changes that characterize the world of football. Clubs are always looking for ways to strengthen themselves and achieve success, and the choice of the executive director of football plays a crucial role in this process.

In short, Flamengo's future is shrouded in uncertainty and expectations as we await the possible change in the executive direction of football. Tite, along with Rodolfo Landim, is at the center of this decision, and Flamengo fans are eager to see how this story will unfold in the coming months. The January transfer window is approaching, and with it come opportunities and challenges that will shape the club's destiny.

The group then went to the field and participated in technical activities, focusing on movement and team harmony. The coaching staff also took advantage of the day for individual observations and conversations with players who may gain space in the coming weeks.


GERSON, PEDRO AND BEHIND THE SCENES


The main absence at the reappearance was Gerson n . The midfielder had his contract termination published in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID) and is no longer part of the red-black squad. Despite the expectation that he would be able to appear at the CT to say goodbye to his teammates, the player did not show up at Ninho do Urubu this Saturday. Gerson is on his way to Zenit, in Russia, a club with which he has already signed a contract.

FLAMENGO PREPARES FOR RETURN TO THE PITCH


Unlike the midfielder, Pedro was present at the training center and trained normally with the squad. During the week, rumors circulated about Flamengo's interest in negotiating with the striker, but internally the player remains focused on training and at the disposal of the coaching staff.

Midfielder Vinícius Souza was transferred from Sheffield United to Wolfsburg for 15 million euros (approximately R$95.8 million) . FIFA rules reserve up to 5% of the transfer fee paid by clubs to reward all clubs that contributed to the development of the athlete between the ages of 12 and 23. In Vinícius' case, Flamengo accumulated 3.05% because he left the club at the age of 21.


This transfer reinforces the sustainable business model of the red-black base, which obtained financial returns even without the sale of the athlete in loco. To give you an idea, a similar mechanism yielded the club around R$11 million in the sale of Lucas Paquetá, for example. The amount of R$3 million will be deposited directly into the club's coffers.


HOW MUCH WILL FLAMENGO RECEIVE?


Transfer: 15 million euros (~R$ 95.8 million)

Solidarity percentage: 3.05%


Estimated total for Flamengo: R$3 million

FIFA VALUE

This amount is not exceptional for an individual transfer, but it shows how small amounts can generate consistent resources for the club. When added to other negotiations – especially of athletes revealed at Ninho –, these revenues reinforce the financial viability of the red-black base without depending on immediate sales.

In addition to Roma, Premier League team expected to make offer for Wesley

With Kyle Walker leaving for Burnley, Manchester City is considering investing in Cria do Ninho, a full-back from Mais Querido, who is already the target of an offer from an Italian team

Right-back Kyle Walker's move to newly-promoted Burnley has opened a gap in Manchester City's squad. The 35-year-old defender opted not to stay at the club despite having a contract until 2026 , and ended his career under Pep Guardiola, in which he was a key player in successful campaigns, such as the 2022/23 Treble.


With his departure confirmed, the English club is evaluating alternatives in the market to strengthen the sector , and the name of Wesley, a standout player at Mais Querido, appears as one of the main options. According to the British newspaper The Telegraph, the Citizens are considering formalizing an offer for the young full-back.


SHORT CAST IN POSITION


Manchester City currently only have Rico Lewis, 20, and Issa Kaboré, 24 , as their right-backs. Neither of them, however, has managed to establish themselves in the starting line-up, which led Guardiola to improvise midfielder Matheus Nunes in the role.

Given this scenario, the hiring of a consolidated full-back becomes urgent. Wesley, 21, has been standing out since Filipe Luís arrived on the coaching staff and is attracting attention from European football due to his speed, marking and offensive projection.


ROME PRESENTS FORMAL OFFER

While Manchester City is still evaluating the terms of a possible move, Roma has already made progress in negotiations with a concrete proposal. The Italian club offered around 25 million euros (around R$160 million), including bonuses, through a loan model with an obligation to buy — a common strategy to get around limitations imposed by UEFA's Financial Fair Play.
