The transfer window continues to be abuzz behind the scenes at Flamengo , and a new addition to the Flamengo youth academy is on the European radar. Daniel Sales, a 19-year-old right-back, has caught the interest of FC Porto in Portugal. According to journalist Jorge Nicola, the Portuguese club want to initially play the player in the B team, with the possibility of a future promotion to the senior squad .
Daniel Sales renewed his contract with Flamengo at the end of 2024, extending his contract until December 2028. The extension, however, did not guarantee the player more space in the main squad, which remains without opportunities under Filipe Luis' command.
The full-back was used at the start of the 2025 Campeonato Carioca, but soon lost his place with the return of the starters and the strong performance of Guillermo Varela. Porto's interest in Daniel Sales is part of a well-known strategy for the Portuguese club, which traditionally focuses on young Brazilian prospects .
The Dragons' current squad includes defender Otávio, also a Flamengo talent. The Portuguese executives plan to integrate Daniel into the B team, which plays in the national second division. If he excels, the youngster could be promoted to competitions such as the Champions League or Europa League.
Flamengo's youth academy is internationally recognized for developing high-level talent. Vinícius Júnior, Lucas Paquetá, João Gomes, and Lázaro are recent examples of athletes trained at Ninho do Urubu who have attracted interest in Europe.

Mirassol will make just one change to the starting lineup to face Flamengo this Saturday (09), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. Leão defends a three-month unbeaten run in the match, while Mengão seeks to remain in the lead.
After serving a suspension in the victory over Vasco, left-back Reinaldo returns to the team, taking Felipe Jonatan's place . Leão's top scorer in the Brasileirão, the number 6 has seven goals in the competition and is the team's official penalty taker.
Mirassol's likely lineup is : Walter; Lucas Ramon, João Victor, Jemmes and Reinaldo; Neto Moura, Danielzinho and Gabriel; Negueba, Edson Carioca and Chico da Costa.
The main absence will be coach Rafael Guanaes , suspended for a third yellow card . Without the manager, assistant Ivan Baitello will be on the sidelines for the club's debut at Maracanã. Guanaes' team hasn't been defeated since May 5th, when they lost to Red Bull Bragantino.
In the medical department, defender Da Silva is out, although he didn't play for the team in 2024—his last appearance was for the B team last season. On the other hand, defender Luiz Otávio, a regular starter in 2024, left the medical department but hasn't yet played this year due to successive injuries.
Leão is in 5th place in the Brasileirão, with 28 points, and is looking to score points to remain in the G6. If they beat Flamengo this Saturday and Bahia stumbles against Fluminense, Mirassol will finish the round in the G4 , those who qualify directly for the group stage of the Libertadores.
