Therefore, the table shows that Carrascal did not contribute to goals in only three of Flamengo’s last seven matches. In other words, even without being an undisputed starter, the Colombian is making the most of the opportunities given to him by Leonardo Jardim.

Carrascal draws interest from Krasnodar, but Flamengo rejects bid

The 28-year-old midfielder is enjoying a period of growth on the pitch, even without being an undisputed starter. Still, coach Leonardo Jardim has used the Colombian frequently throughout the season. In the current campaign, Carrascal has made 36 appearances in the red-and-black shirt and scored six goals.

In addition, the Colombian played in the 2026 World Cup representing the Colombia national team. Therefore, his experience at the World Cup adds to the international pedigree of Flamengo’s midfielder.

His strong performances have not gone unnoticed in the transfer market. As a result, Krasnodar (RUS) submitted an offer of 7 million euros for the player, around R$ 41 million at the current exchange rate. However, Flamengo’s board rejected the bid immediately, considering the amount too low. Thus, Flamengo ended any possibility of a deal without even opening talks with the Russian club.

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION?

— Amid ups and downs, Jorge Carrascal turned the fans’ initial distrust into applause with high-level performances. The Colombian overcame his inconsistent spell and established himself as a pleasant surprise, proving all his technical potential on the pitch —, began Mônica Alves, journalist for Coluna do Fla.

— Although Flamengo’s deep squad allows for constant changes in the team, the tendency is for the midfielder to be a key piece in this final stretch. Whether starting or coming on during matches, the player has everything it takes to remain decisive and help Flamengo in the pursuit of titles —, she concluded.
