While Flamengo 's board of directors remains cautious about negotiations with Mikey Johnston, the fans did not wait for the official announcement to show what the player can expect in Brazil: massive support. The striker's recent posts have been filled with messages in Portuguese, emojis of Brazilian flags and hearts in red and black.
The player's Instagram, which until then had been relatively discreet, saw a significant increase in engagement. Comments such as "come and be happy", "honor the mantle" and "it's going to be good" multiplied. The anticipated reaction is reminiscent of other occasions when the red-and-black fans embraced reinforcements even before the official announcement, showing the strength and digital organization of the Nation.
According to information from ge, Flamengo is willing to pay around 5 million pounds (R$ 37 million) for the left winger. The amount is considered high, but within the club's recent standards, which have been betting on players with room for improvement and good value for money. Johnston is described as a fast player, with good dribbling and the ability to play on both sides of the attack, characteristics that coach Filipe Luís values.
The idea is for him to arrive to compete for a position on the wings , a sector that recently lost Everton Cebolinha due to injury. Despite the majority support, some fans have expressed caution. There are those who question the player's adaptation to South American football, the investment involved and the choice of a name still off the radar of the major leagues.
Still, the general mood is one of positive expectation. The invasion of social media by potential reinforcements has become routine among the red-and-black fans. The fans usually put pressure or show support directly on the athletes' profiles , creating an atmosphere of acceptance and, at the same time, demanding performance.

Commentator Denílson revealed that Filipe Luís is in no rush to renew his contract with Flamengo. The coach's contract runs until the end of the current season, and although he is highly valued internally , his lack of clarity opens the door to speculation and even potential interest from European clubs if a deal doesn't materialize.
Denílson on Filipe Luís at Flamengo: "He signaled that he still doesn't want to renew"
Despite his excellent work at the helm of the club, Filipe Luís will likely negotiate a salary increase to extend his contract . According to Denílson, the board understands that the former full-back has already become a technical and strategic asset to the club, but the decision should be made naturally in the coming months.
During his commentary, Denílson mentioned Jorge Jesus, currently at Al-Nassr, but ruled out any possibility of the Portuguese coach returning to Flamengo . He believes the coach will be remembered only for his winning streak in 2019 and 2020, without posing a threat to the continuity of the current project.
"Filipe Luís has signaled that he doesn't want to renew yet. Flamengo said: 'Shall we renew? Wait a minute.' If Filipe Luís doesn't renew, who would be a good name for this Flamengo ? They're in a good phase and swimming with ease... But forget it, this guy (Jorge Jesus) isn't coming back ," said Denílson.
Due to the FIFA World Cup, Flamengo will be sidelined for two weeks. Filipe Luís's side will return to action on September 14th at 4pm (Brasília time) against Juventude at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. With 47 points, Flamengo remains in the lead, followed by Cruzeiro (44) and Palmeiras (43).
Mengão's star has been standing out this season and the Giallorossi athlete says that being the number 10 would be a great reinforcement for the Italian team.

Currently at Roma, Wesley is also part of Carlo Ancelotti's Brazilian national team squad . The full-back started in the 3-0 victory over Chile on the 5th at Maracanã, but missed the 1-0 loss to Bolivia in El Alto.
