In the current season, Flamengo suffered from harassment by several Saudi clubs towards some of the main players. However, according to information from the UOL portal, this is unlikely to happen again in 2024. The Arab market's desire will be to intensify efforts to sign European medalists.
This season, Ayrton Lucas, Gabigol, Pedro and Léo Pereira were probed by the Saudis. Flamengo received proposals, however, they managed to keep these players. In the 2024 season, the country's football harassment should not be as intense as it had been.
Despite the presence of former Flamengo coach, Jorge Jesus, as coach of Al - Hilal, and Luís Castro, former coach of Botafogo, at Al - Nassr, the eyes of the Saudi teams will not be focused on Brazilian football next season. Therefore, this will give greater peace of mind to teams that fear losing their best players.
Another name that was targeted by football in the Middle Eastern country was that of coach Tite. The former commander of the Brazilian national team and now coach of Flamengo is seen as a medallion in Saudi Arabia. However, the commander preferred to take command of Rubro Negro.
Therefore, with the players and Tite, Flamengo is preparing for the next commitment of the season. Rubro Negro will face Santos in the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship which will be held next Wednesday (01), at Mané Garrincha, in Brasília. Mais Querido's focus is to get a direct spot for Libertadores 2024.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
