SEE WHO THE 3 PLAYERS ARE WHO STAYED WITH PEDRO AT THE PILL

Football is like that, one player leaves and another takes his place. In this sense, we are talking about Gerson's move to Zenit-RUS , a club that announced this Monday that it will pay the termination fee and take the Joker. But who will take the number 8's place? For that, Fla already has its target.

Flamengo is already making moves in the transfer market and is targeting Telasco Segovia, a young Venezuelan midfielder who has been standing out in the MLS with Inter Miami. At just 22 years old, Segovia has been a key player in the team led by Javier Mascherano, drawing attention for his quality in creating plays and attacking presence.

VALUES OF THE POSSIBLE BUSINESS

Flamengo would be willing to invest around 10 million euros (around 64 million reais) to sign him, an amount four times higher than that paid by Inter Miami to Casa Pia, from Portugal . The player's international projection and leadership profile make the investment justifiable in the eyes of the red-black board. However, Real Betis, from Spain, has also expressed interest in the athlete, which could start a fierce competition.

Segovia's good performance in the 2025 Club World Cup, where he started in every game and scored a goal against Porto of Portugal, contributed even more to his value and motivates a possible start of conversation.

SEGOVIA NUMBERS

In 28 matches, he scored five goals and provided three assists, a performance that pleased Filipe Luís's coaching staff, who see him as the ideal replacement for Gerson. The Venezuelan played in the Club World Cup and is still competing in the COCACAF Champions League and the MLS (American Championship).

Eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Club World Cup semi-finals, Flamengo begins its transition back to the routine of Brazilian football this Monday (30) . The delegation leaves the United States at 10 pm (Brasília time) bound for Galeão Airport, on Governador Island, in Rio de Janeiro.

The return marks the end of the international stint, but also the beginning of a new plan. With the focus once again on national and continental competitions, Rubro-Negro is organizing the squad's return for next Saturday, July 5th, at 9:30 am, at Ninho do Urubu.

FLAMENGO RETURNS TO TRAINING AFTER THE WORLD CUP

The coaching staff decided to give the players a week off, as a way of recovering physically and mentally after the exhaustion of the competition. The break is strategic, as Flamengo has a marathon of games ahead in July, involving the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil and the Libertadores.

SERIES OF GAMES UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON

The return will be marked by intense training at the training center, with a focus on regaining the lead in the Brasileirão and the decisive stages of the knockout tournaments. The tendency is for Mengão to use the period to adjust the team and recover players who returned from the World Cup with muscle fatigue.

Although Flamengo 's next match in the Brasileirão is theoretically scheduled against São Paulo, as the home team, confirmation of the date still depends on the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The game was scheduled to take place during the Club World Cup. With the early elimination, the club expected the match to be rescheduled. However, the CBF is facing difficulties with the tight schedule, and the current trend is that the duel with São Paulo will be held for July 13.

Fluminense is in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup. With goals from Cano and Hércules, the Tricolor beat Inter Milan this Monday, 2-0, and sealed their advance to the knockout stages of the tournament. Renato Gaúcho's team now awaits the winner of Manchester City vs. Al-Hilal.

SUMMARY

Fluminense needed little time to open the scoring against Inter. Two minutes in, Arias received the ball from Martinelli, advanced down the right and crossed. The ball deflected off Bastoni, and Cano, who completed 200 games for Tricolor today, took advantage of the chance to score the first goal of the match.

The team from Rio also missed a chance to extend their lead with Samuel Xavier, who shot just wide of Sommer's goal. Ignácio managed to score the second goal after a three-touch header in the box, but the move was disallowed due to the defender being offside. Inter had their best chances with long balls behind the defense. In one of the most dangerous plays for the Italians, Mkhitaryan received the ball in the box on the left and passed it to Dimarco, but Fábio saved it . Before the end of the first half, there was a brief scuffle between Renato Gaúcho and Mkhitaryan.

The first big chance of the second half came again in Fluminense's favor and through Cano's feet, in the 11th minute. Minutes later, Arias forced Sommer to perform a miracle with a bomb from outside the area. As the second half progressed, following the substitution rounds, Inter Milan grew in the game and began to put pressure on Fluminense - there were at least five clear chances. De Vrij missed an unbelievable shot in the six-yard box, and Lautaro had three clear chances in a three-minute interval - one of which hit the post.

In injury time, Hércules sealed the victory over Inter. Samuel Xavier took a throw-in, De Vrij headed the ball and the ball went past everyone before falling to the Tricolor midfielder. Hércules controlled the ball and invaded the area before shooting with his left foot, missing Sommer's goal! End of story in Charlotte.

AND NOW?

Fluminense now has to face either Manchester City or Al-Hilal. If the English team gets through, it will be a repeat of the Club World Cup in 2023, where the tricolor succumbed to the power of the blue side of Manchester, with Guardiola and his team.
