Flamengo focuses its efforts on preparing to face Bolívar at Maracanã this Thursday (15) at 9:30 pm (Brasília time) in the first game of the round of 16 of the Libertadores. For this game, however, once again the red-black team may be lacking in the defensive sector.
The right-back Guillermo Varela is doubtful for the match. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the player is still recovering from a hip injury he suffered in the 2-0 victory over Palmeiras in the first game of the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. With this, Wesley should be the holder of the position in the Libertadores.
Flamengo accepted a proposal of 16 million euros (R$96 million) from Atalanta in Italy for Wesley last Sunday (11), however , due to Varela's injury and the short time to be able to hire a replacement, the board reconsider the sale. The negotiation could reach 20 million euros (R$ 120 million) with goals achieved by the player on Italian soil.
Varela could be the fourth absence
If he does not take the field, Varela will be Flamengo's fourth confirmed absence to face Bolívar in the Libertadores. Striker Everton Cebolinha ruptured his Achilles tendon and is out for the season. Matías Viña, left back, injured his knee last Sunday (11) against Palmeiras. Striker Bruno Henrique was sent off in Flamengo's last match in the group stage of the competition.
Flamengo will enter the field on Thursday needing to achieve a good result to avoid having to win at the 3600m altitude of La Peace in the return game, for that, the red and black will have to change their recent record. Mais Querido hasn't won in three games, with two defeats and a draw. For this, the fans will be important and the tickets for the match are already sold out.

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.
The offer made is 90% of the club
