Defender Rodrigo Caio will leave Flamengo at the end of the season and will receive tributes next Sunday (3), in the match against Cuiabá, at Maracanã. Multi-champion with Rubro Negro and a fundamental player in the magical year of 2019, the defender understands that he needs a new lease of life.
However, the person who had a good part in this was Jorge Sampaoli. The Argentine's resignation arrived. But the wounds caused remained. Rubro Negro ends the year without cups, and Rodrigo Caio says goodbye in a melancholic way. This is because the defender was healthy and capable of playing, but he was not used.
In an interview with GE, the defender says that he knew he would be left out regardless of what he did in training. He said he had no prospect of taking the field, however, he always told his teammates that he would be there to help.
"I had no prospect. There was training that I knew that regardless of what I did, I wasn't going to play. And I said: "Guys, I'm here for you, for the respect we have for each other, for enjoying what we've built and it's difficult to live again."
Even though I'm healthy to play, Rodrigo Caio says he was bothered by the lack of clarification. This is because it was never said that the defender was fit to play. That's why many fans thought he was still injured.
“But you're left waiting afterwards the physical trainer praises you, shows you. The next day, I went to give him a hug and said to him: "Thank you." He said he only spoke the truth, but people don't have the courage to speak the truth in the world we live in, to admit it and say: "That's it." It was eight months with Sampaoli, did anyone have the courage to tell the truth that I was fine?" been used during the season, Rodrigo Caio says goodbye to the club where he was very happy and won several titles. Therefore, next Sunday's match (3), against Cuiabá, at Maracanã, will be full of emotion and tributes to a defender who became an idol of a Nation.

5 points about Michael's negotiation: Flamengo only accepts a definitive sale
The player is on the radar of foreign clubs, but his departure depends on one clear condition: he will only be released in the event of a definitive offer.

In recent days, a Middle Eastern team approached Flamengo with the intention of loaning Michael , but the Rio de Janeiro club's response was blunt: no . The proposal was rejected by president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as BAP, who ruled out any possibility of releasing the striker on loan.
According to journalist Jorge Nicola, Flamengo "is only willing to do business if there are definitive offers." The board believes the striker still has a market and will only leave Ninho do Urubu if concrete financial compensation is received.
THE PLAYER ASKED FOR THE MOST LOVED ONE TO LEAVE
Michael, nicknamed "Little Robot" by the fans, has expressed his desire to leave. With limited space under Filipe Luís, the striker was not included in the squad for the last match against Santos and remained in Rio to treat ankle pain. Internally, he has already informed the coaching staff that he prefers to seek new surroundings.
FUTURE PROBLEMS
Despite this, Flamengo is being cautious. Michael's contract runs until 2028 and he earns one of the highest salaries in the squad, which limits his options on the market. One of the clubs monitoring the situation is Qatar's Al-Duhail, but no official offer has been submitted yet. The board is treating the situation cautiously. Although the player is considered negotiable, there is no rush to sell him.
Flamengo understands that Michael could be useful throughout the season if no advantageous offers emerge. Therefore, the refusal to loan him is strategic. The ideal scenario for Flamengo is to find a permanent buyer during this window, which would generate revenue and free up space on the payroll. However, with the Asian market still buoyant, the club has not ruled out further inquiries in the coming days.
Another name under the spotlight is Pedro . The number 9 is not having the best time at the club and was left out of the match against Santos after public criticism from coach Filipe Luís. His situation is seen as delicate . Palmeiras was even mentioned as interested, but ruled out any approach due to the game limit in the Brasileirão. Even so, negotiations with foreign clubs are still possible this window.

Flamengo sued Leixões, of Portugal, at FIFA over a debt related to the transfer of striker Werton. In July 2024, the red-and-black club sold 70% of the player's rights for €1 million (R$5.8 million at the then exchange rate).
The club filed a complaint with FIFA's Player Status Resolution Chamber. Leixões was supposed to pay the first installment, €175,000 (R$1.1 million), in November 2024. Flamengo demanded payment from the Portuguese club in January but has not received the amount.
The last charge was on January 14, 2025, when Flamengo gave Leixões 48 hours to pay the adjusted amount - 196,700 euros (R$1.2 million). The Portuguese team once again failed to comply with the agreement, and Flamengo went to FIFA to collect the debt, including fines, interest, and monetary correction.
FIFA HAS GIVEN ITS VERDICT AND PUNISHED THE PORTUGUESE CLUB
On Tuesday afternoon, Flamengo issued a statement on its official website , informing that FIFA had punished Leixões with a well-deserved transfer ban . This means that the Portuguese club will not be able to register new players.
FOLLOW THE NOTE
"Clube de Regatas do Flamengo informs that Leixões SC, from Portugal, was punished by FIFA with a Transfer Ban due to a debt with the Rio de Janeiro club, regarding the transfer of the athlete Werton. The decision of the highest entity of world football recognized Flamengo's request. Leixões will be prevented from registering new players for up to three transfer windows, or until the amount of 175 thousand euros is paid to the red-black club. The sanction comes into effect from this Tuesday (15)."
WERTON AT FLAMENGO
A highly successful player in Flamengo's youth academy, he was a gem of the club's nest. Werton made his professional debut for Flamengo in 2021, but never received many opportunities. He left the club with one goal in 12 games.
