No Flamengo about six months ago, Augustín Rossi quickly took over as starter and has stood out in the Mais Querido goal not only for his skills, but also for the records achieved and broken. In this way, the Mais Querido archer is beginning to be coveted by other teams and may even transfer to another team.


According to information from the Argentine newspaper El Crack, River Plate (ARG), monitors Rossi's situation. The Buenos Aires team is studying how to convince the goalkeeper to change Most Wanted by the Millionaires in the mid-year transfer window, but this mission will not be easy.


FLAMENGO HAS A LONG CONTRACT WITH ROSSI


That way, River Plate (ARG) will have a lot of work to do to get Rossi out of Flamengo. This is because the archer has a contract with Rubro Negro until December 2027. Furthermore, the goalkeeper is an absolute starter with Tite and would only leave Gávea if the Mais Querido board received an unexpected offer from the European market. Thus, asking for exorbitant amounts, the Argentine team would not be able to sign the player.

DE LA CRUZ HIRED FOR SIGHT


Remembering that because he has the conditions, Flamengo managed to sign River Plate's main player, Nicolás De La Cruz. Mais Querido paid 16 million dollars (R$ 80 million) in cash to the Argentine team, who could not refuse and released the Uruguayan star,

ROSSI MISSES ARGENTINA

In a recent interview with ESPN Argentina, Rossi said he misses being in Argentina with his family: “Yes, I miss it too, maybe being in Argentina with my family. In other words, with friendships. I can tell you that I miss you. Everything that was at Boca, I can say that I also miss my time at Lanús, at Defensa y Justicia, also at Chacarita, obviously. Living at home, right?”

Flamengo has important reinforcements in the coming days. With De La Cruz, Danilo and Emerson Royal on coach Filipe Luís' list of players for the game against Internacional this Sunday (17), Mengão now has a practically empty medical department. But Erick Pulgar's situation still deserves attention .


A regular starter for Filipe Luís, the Chilean midfielder has been out of action since the FIFA Club World Cup. The good news is that his recovery is progressing well, and a return to training is expected. Pulgar is expected to return to action in the second half of September .


AND FOR THE LAWNS?


His return to action will depend on his fitness after a long layoff. Even if he doesn't return until October, the midfielder will still have a good run of matches , as the season doesn't end until December 21st.

WHAT HAPPENED?


Pulgar fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot in the 4-2 loss to Bayern Munich in Orlando, Flamengo 's final World Cup match. He underwent surgery on July 3 and, after two weeks of rest, began physical therapy at Ninho do Urubu.

HOW IS YOUR PULGAR NOW?

The Chilean is no longer in pain and has been monitoring his progress through imaging tests. Between the 10th and 12th week after surgery, he will undergo a CT scan to assess fracture healing and then be cleared to safely return to training . After that, he will undergo further steps: running on the field, ball work, release from physical therapy, and finally, reintegration into the squad.

Flamengo is preparing to face Internacional this Sunday (17), for the 20th round of the Brazilian Championship. On Friday afternoon (15), Arrascaeta gave a press conference and avoided commenting on a possible contract renewal with the club.

Starting in June of next year, Arrascaeta will be able to sign a pre-contract with any club for free if he doesn't reach an agreement to stay.


ARRASCAETA'S HIGHLIGHTS AT FLAMENGO

In the 2025 season, the Uruguayan is the team's top scorer, with 14 goals and nine assists in 38 games, adding 23 direct participations in goals so far , which made coach Filipe Luís treat the Uruguayan as the 'best player in Brazil' in a recent press conference.
