The former president of Flamengo, Eduardo Bandeira de Mello, was the guest of CNN Esportes S/A this weekend. In his participation in the program, the former representative of Rubro Negro praised the strength of the Nation by opposing a possible SAF at the club.


Bandeira de Mello was asked about the SAF model, which is the object of study by the current president , Rodolfo Landim, he was firm in saying that there are no reasons for Rubro Negro to transform into SAF in the coming years and the Rubro Negra fans are a very strong partner.


“SAF is a good option for some clubs, but not for everyone. Flamengo, for example, I don't think there is any need to become a SAF in the next 10 years. This option to change the corporate model must always be planned, always monitored, but not necessarily implemented in a club like Flamengo”, he said, before completing.


“SAF was an option for clubs that were going through due to very serious difficulties, such as Cruzeiro, Botafogo and Vasco. But in the case of Flamengo, I think we shouldn't worry about that. Because Flamengo managed to do its homework (…) Flamengo fans are a very strong partner, worth more than any Arab sheikh who comes to invest in Brazilian football”, said Bandeira de Mello.

Eduardo too commented on a possible return to the presidency of the club. As on other occasions, the former president stated that he is being persecuted by the current administration, and did not rule out being a candidate in the 2024 presidential election. When I left, I thought I had already fulfilled my role, I was always in favor of renewal. But it turns out that my intention of just being a fan was undermined by Flamengo's own management, who practically called me into a fight, they tried to expel me from the club three times", began Bandeira.


"So it's a situation which ended up causing several of my former colleagues, from the administration from 2013 to 2018, to form a group and ask me to be part of it. The important thing is that the group is united, but I don't rule out being the candidate, although my preference is for another colleague to assume the presidency”, he concluded.

Flamengo has formalized a proposal for goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão , Santos' standout player in 2025. According to information from UOL, Rubro-Negro offered seven million euros (around R$45 million) for 60% of the player's economic rights.


Despite the high price, Santos rejected the offer. The São Paulo club believes Brazão should only leave if a minimum offer of €15 million (approximately R$94 million) is met, a sum considered fair by the board to open negotiations.


WHAT DID GAZETA DO URUBU FIND?


According to Gazeta do Urubu , the Rio de Janeiro club has not yet made an official offer to the player. Sources within the board revealed that the player is being monitored, but there have been no official talks with the goalkeeper yet.

SANTOS HOLDS THE GOALKEEPER


Gabriel Brazão is in great form and has become one of the most highly valued goalkeepers in Brazilian football. In addition to Flamengo 's interest, European clubs are also monitoring the situation. Torino, from Italy, even submitted a R$64 million offer , which Santos also rejected.

Other giants like Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Porto are closely monitoring the player's progress , as he has played 33 matches this season. Santos' board, which recently loaned João Paulo to Bahia, is working to keep Brazão at least until the end of the year.

Even after a successful transfer window, Flamengo remains attentive to the transfer market to further strengthen its squad . The main target at this time is Argentine striker Valentín Castellanos , a player who has expressed interest in joining Flamengo but faces resistance from Lazio, who are not making his exit easy.


Last Saturday (16), Lazio played a friendly against Atromitos, from Greece, winning 2-0. However, the match was marked by a general confusion that resulted in the expulsion of Castellanos . The Mengão striker disagreed with defender Mansur , exchanged aggressions and ended up receiving a red card.


According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, the fight didn't end on the field. In the locker room, the situation escalated, and the police had to intervene to calm things down . Italian press sources indicate that Castellanos is experiencing emotional instability, driven by frustration at not being released by Lazio to play in Brazilian football.


WHAT DOES THE GAZETA KNOW?
According to an investigation by Gazeta do Urubu, major signings would only happen if there was an unexpected departure or serious injury to a starter. Therefore, the club will not make any further moves for Taty Castellanos.
FLAMENGO LOOKING FOR CENTER FORWARD

In the market, the Rubro-Negro are looking for a number 9 with different characteristics than Pedro , prioritizing a more mobile and versatile player in attack. Names like Taremi, Beltrán, and Castellanos were only monitored by the Rio team.
