With unexpected eliminations and defeats, Mais Querido is going through turbulent times this season. To get around the bad phase, the board focuses on polishing the squad, keeping the best players to offer good results. With the end of the Brazilian transfer window, the carioca closed himself to negotiations of his current players, since it would be difficult to replace a player's departure. That's why the rumors of Ayrton Lucas's transfer to Al-Hilal worried the heads of the board.

Recently, rumors surfaced that Al-Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, would be interested in hiring Ayrton Lucas . However, the rumors were denied after the player's manager denied the existence of negotiations, noting that there was no offer on the part of the Arab club.

To solve the last doubts, Jorge Jesus, former coach of Flamengo and current member of Al-Hilal, commented on the matter during a press conference. When asked about the search for a left-back, the Portuguese said that there is no forecast for hiring a player in this position.

With Ayrton Lucas, Mais Querido is preparing for its commitments. Flamengo and Coritiba face each other this Saturday (26) for the 21st round of the Brasileirão. The duel takes place at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã.
