The Flamengo is in advanced negotiations for the transfer of 21-year-old midfielder Igor Jesus to a club in Portugal. The young player, who has stood out in the Rio team, has aroused the interest of European clubs, and Flamengo sees the possibility of a sale as an opportunity to balance its finances and make room for new signings.

Igor Jesus has a termination fine set at 50 million euros, approximately R$314.3 million at the current price. Although this is the official figure for the player's departure, negotiations tend to involve lower amounts, considering the current market and Flamengo's interest in completing the transfer. The Portuguese club involved in the negotiations has not yet been revealed, but close sources indicate that the talks are at an advanced stage, with real chances of a positive outcome in the coming days.


FLAMENGO ADOPTS "CAUTELA" < /b>

The midfielder, who was promoted to the main squad in 2022, proved to be an important part of the team, especially in matches in the Brazilian Championship and Copa Libertadores. His marking ability, combined with a good vision of the game, caught the attention not only of the fans, but also of European scouts. Despite its relevance to the team, Flamengo< /a> understands that the sale of Igor Jesus could be a good business opportunity, mainly due to the possibility of the athlete's future appreciation on European soil.

Flamengo has adopted a strategy of selling young players as a way to generate revenue and enable the hiring of more experienced athletes or those with a specific profile to fill gaps in the squad. Igor Jesus' departure follows this line, where the club seeks to balance its cash flow and at the same time maintain competitiveness on the field. The management of Flamengo has already demonstrated in other occasions that are not opposed to negotiating young promises, as long as the values ​​are considered fair and there is the possibility of reinvesting part of the amount in the search for new talents.

In the relationship between Gabigol and coach Tite at Flamengo, only the field is capable of speaking. Between the striker and coach, there is practically no dialogue, and the cold and silent war dictates that only one of them should remain at the club for the season in 2025.

No atmosphere with the coaching staff and also with the squad , Gabriel Barbosa has been convinced to change and airs, but even the clubs that expressed interest in the first half of the year backed away. With a contract at Flamengo until the end of December, Gabigol had offers from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos, was mentioned at Grêmio, but did not want to sign a pre-contract with any team.


The expectation was to try to turn things around on top in the second half, otherwise he would end his time at Flamengo like the idol he became, without any fuss.


Tite's arrival last year changed the entire perspective of the striker, who was already in a bad phase previously, and lost his place once and for all to Pedro with the presence of the new coach. With the center forward's recent injury, Tite kept Gabigol at the end of the line, under the argument that Carlinhos and Bruno Henrique perform better in the scheme with a reference man .

Without understanding the criteria, Gabi maintains her dedication to the basic level of professionalism in training, as it is not part of the coach's or the club's plans for a possible renewal. With the chances of a comeback practically buried, the two possible paths are to wait for the election in Flamengo to find out if Tite will remain with the next president; or wait for the end of the contract to freely listen to proposals again. Palmeiras and Santos have not yet given up on the idea, and Bahia appears as an option, as it has good investment capacity.
