Flamengo and Internacional face each other this Saturday (29), in a match valid for the 1st round of the Brasileirão. One of the highlights of the team from Rio Grande do Sul, defender Vitão was a target for Mais Querido in the last transfer window. Thus, the defender opened up about the behind the scenes of the possible departure from the team from Rio Grande do Sul, which ended up not being realized .
" To be honest, there was nothing concrete, there was no proposal sent. I saw that some things were leaked. They even wanted to pay off the debt for Thiago Maia. I spoke with D'Alessandro (sporting director) and (André) Mazzuco (executive) and said that I was happy and my dream was to achieve great things here (at Inter). It was a very open conversation. Thank God I stayed focused and we achieved this very important achievement ," said Vitão, to GE.
Even though Flamengo rejected the offer, it did send a proposal of 11 million euros (R$68 million) to Internacional for Vitão. However, of these 11, the idea was to deduct 4 million euros (R$24 million) from the debt of the Gaúchos due to the delay in Thiago Maia's installments. However, the Porto Alegre club would only agree to do business with the 'full amount', which made Mais Querido give up on the player.
CAN FLAMENGO BUILD A BRIDGE TO THE NATIONAL TEAM?
Vitão 's call-up is being acclaimed in Rio Grande do Sul, but the player has not received any opportunities on Dorival Júnior's list. Asked if a transfer to Flamengo could speed up the process, he raised his tone and asked for more attention to be paid to football in the southern region.
" Without a doubt! Anyone who plays here in the South has to do twice as much to be noticed. They have to change. You look at the numbers and performances and it's hard to understand. Alan Patrick, for example. You see his performances, always consistent, but he doesn't get a single opportunity. Alan Patrick has been, for a long time, the best number 10 active in Brazilian football ", Vitão pointed out.
" And it's not me who's saying this. You (journalists) are seeing it too. But that's it, our focus is 100% on Inter. We'll keep playing. At some point they'll have to start looking here. That's why I say: we have to do well at the club and, consequently, at some point the opportunity with the national team will come ," he concluded.
FOCUS ON THE NEXT GAME
Thus, with some players at his disposal, Filipe Luís will continue preparing Flamengo's squad on Thursday afternoon (27). The Mais Querido returns to the field on Saturday (29), at 9 pm, against Internacional, at Maracanã.

Flamengo has once again been approached by European clubs interested in one of its most talked-about prospects: midfielder Lorran. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Pisa, recently promoted to the Italian football elite, made a loan offer for the player, but the terms of the negotiation did not please the red-black board, which chose to reject the proposal.
With the decision, the club kept Lorran in the under-20 squad , where he competes in the Brazilian Championship in the category. Despite being away from the main squad, the youngster continues to stand out with good performances and technical moves in training, which continues to arouse the interest of teams outside the country.
PISA RETURNS TO ITALIAN SERIES A AFTER 34 YEARS
Pisa is experiencing a historic moment after securing promotion to Italy's Serie A for the first time in 34 years. Led by Filippo Inzaghi, the team is looking for reinforcements and identified Lorran as an opportunity for young talent to join the squad. However, despite their rising European profile, the deal was not successful.
Other European clubs, such as Lille from France, are also showing interest in the midfielder. Information from the portal “RTI Esportes” reveals that the French club met with José Boto , an executive with a history in European football, to evaluate the viability of a proposal of €15 million (approximately R$96.7 million).
NEGOTIATIONS WITH RUSSIA CLUBS
This is not the first time that Lorran's future has been discussed. Earlier this year, the player was very close to a transfer to CSKA in Russia , but the deal was cancelled in the final moments. The Rio de Janeiro club's board also sought a possible loan transfer to Estoril in Portugal, without success.

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.
The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
NO SPACE IN THE CAST
Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.
Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.
PASSING TURKEY
During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.
