Flamengo transfer push continues as Richarlison eyed, Arrascaeta reacts after 1-1 Internacional draw | OneFootball

Flamengo were held 1-1 by Internacional at the Maracanã on Wednesday, with Arrascaeta scoring for the hosts. Post-match, Arrascaeta offered a candid assessment as the club’s search for a new centre-forward continued.

According to Coluna Do Fla, Richarlison of Tottenham is viewed as a dream target for Filipe Luís. Flamengo made an approach in the last window, but the forward preferred to remain in Europe and was not keen on the move.

Even after that refusal, Richarlison remains on the agenda and the club intend a fresh attempt in mid-year.

Flamengo also explored Darwim Núñez, formerly of Liverpool and now at a Saudi club, after assessing Kaio Jorge of Cruzeiro and Marcos Leonardo of Al Hilal. The operation is considered unviable because his salary is 16 million euros, about R$ 99 million, per year, roughly R$ 8 million a month. He is also not looking to return to South America.

Supporters voiced their frustration at the Maracanã after a magical 2025 gave way to a 2026 of boos. Arrascaeta said there was no other way as he pointed to the path back to wins.
