Flamengo secured its place in the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores by beating Deportivo Táchira 1-0 this Wednesday (28), at Maracanã, but one of the highlights of the night was the presence of Vinicius Jr. at the stadium. The Real Madrid star, who came through the club's youth ranks, moved the fans and even had a relaxed moment with José Boto, the club's football director.
Can't you come in for a bit?"
During the break, Boto joked with Vini Jr., suggesting that he enter the field to help the team. " Can't you come in for a little while?" , asked the manager. The number 7, smiling, replied: " No, but I would come in to help. For ten minutes. " The scene, captured by the cameras, went viral on social media and warmed the hearts of the Red-Black Nation even more, who dream of a possible return of the idol in the future.
Despite the red-black team's dominance throughout the match, the goal only came in the second half, with Léo Pereira taking advantage of a free kick by Luiz Araújo to score the only goal of the night. The Venezuelan team remained organized defensively , but could not prevent the victory of Mengão, who now await the draw for the round of 16.
Meanwhile, Vini Jr. continues his successful career at Real Madrid, but always shows his affection for Flamengo. His presence at Maracanã, alongside other former Ninho players such as Lucas Paquetá and João Gomes, reinforces the eternal connection between the star and the club that revealed him.
Flamengo returns to the field on Sunday (1st), against Fortaleza , in the Brasileirão , but the fans will certainly still be remembering the night when Vini Jr. almost "came back" to play, even if for just "ten minutes".
The player is back on Palmeiras' radar after negotiations at the start of the season, but has a clear preference for playing for Mengão.

Midfielder Andreas Pereira, 29, has once again stirred up the backrooms of Palmeiras and Flamengo . According to Goal, the player has received a new approach from the São Paulo club, which is estimating a value between 12 and 14 million euros . Despite the interest, the athlete continues to express his desire to return to the Rubro-Negro, which has not yet made an official approach.
While Flamengo held only informal talks with Andreas in early 2025, Palmeiras has been more incisive. Eight months ago, the club offered €25 million , but the midfielder declined due to his emotional attachment to the "Mais Querido." Now, the situation is different, and the negotiations are likely to take on new chapters.
In Fulham's Premier League debut against Brighton, Andreas didn't even leave the bench, fueling rumors of a possible exit . The player believes that returning to Brazilian football could be crucial to securing a place in Ancelotti's national team.
In the first half of the year, Andreas was very close to joining Palmeiras, but Fulham made it difficult to secure his release, and the deal fell through. This time, the midfielder is more willing to wear the Verdão jersey , believing that a change of scenery is the best path for his career.
While Palmeiras remains active in talks, Flamengo remains focused on the field. The team returns to the field on Monday (25), when it faces Vitória , at Maracanã, for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship, at 9 pm (Brasília time).
The midfielder is reportedly unhappy with the Hammers and sees a departure as beneficial for his future career, even though manager Graham Potter is counting on him.

Brazilian Lucas Paquetá is expected to be on the field this Thursday (22) in the duel between West Ham x Chelsea, for the Premier League. Considered one of the Hammers' main players, the midfielder trained with the starters and should start the match.
Despite his important role in the squad, Paquetá isn't having a good time at London Stadium. According to the English website Hammers News, the player no longer displays the same enthusiasm as before and is no longer the smiling figure who once commanded attention behind the scenes. He has recently become more isolated, even in relation to his own compatriots .
The situation worries West Ham 's board, which believed the athlete would be more motivated after being cleared in the investigation into alleged involvement in sports betting. However, the situation remains different than expected.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Paquetá is considering changing clubs during this transfer window and has already been approached by several teams . However, there are no concrete negotiations yet. CFC News also highlighted that representatives of the Brazilian offered him to Chelsea, but the Blues have prioritized negotiations for Xavi Simons, which reduces the chances of an immediate move.
Paquetá is under contract with West Ham until June 2027 and, according to Transfermarkt, is valued at €28 million (approximately R$178 million) . The Hammers, however, would only open negotiations for a higher amount.
At the height of his 27 years, the Flamengo youth product played 36 matches last season , scoring five goals but providing no assists. In 2025/26, he has only appeared once so far, in the 3-0 defeat to Sunderland in the Premier League opener.
The player recently left the Tricolor and if he doesn't stand out in the Premier League, Mengão should look to sign him in 2026.

A fan favorite for Fluminense and currently playing for Wolverhampton Wanderers (ENG), midfielder Jhon Arias is back in the news in Brazil. According to journalist Julio Miguel Neto, Flamengo is already considering making an offer for the Colombian in the 2026 season.
Julio Miguel Neto on Fluminense idol: "in the middle of next year, Flamengo will be making an offer for Jhon Arias"
"You can tell me: in the middle of next year, Flamengo will be making an offer for Jhon Arias . This is all to Fluminense's dismay, you can write it down. They'll move a bunch of midfielders. If they do a good clean sweep, they'll let Pablo, Cebolinha, and Michael go. Sell Allan, loan Evertton Araújo; these guys are all useless," Julio stated on CanaldizFla.
According to him, there's already an internal movement at the club to monitor the player's situation in the Premier League. If Arias fails to establish himself in England, Flamengo could move forward with signing him, similar to what they did with Pedro, who joined the club from Fiorentina after leaving the club.
"If I'm Flamengo , in the middle of next year, listen to what I'm saying: I'm laying it on thick, it's something that already exists internally. If we let it go, to the dismay of Fluminense fans, in the middle of next year Flamengo will go after Jhon Arias . That is, if he doesn't perform well at Wolverhampton," he added.
After shining at Fluminense, Arias was announced by Wolverhampton Wanderers shortly after the Club World Cup . The transfer cost around 22 million euros (approximately R$142 million), with the English club acquiring 90% of the player's economic rights.
Wolves' number 10, the Colombian made his Premier League debut in a tough 4-0 defeat to Manchester City . The team is led by Vítor Pereira, former Flamengo coach, and also features Brazilians João Gomes and André.
