Left back is one of the positions that will receive attention from Flamengo in the next transfer window. Keeping an eye on the market, the Rubro-Negro board inquired about the situation of Kaiki Bruno, from Cruzeiro. The Minas Gerais club, in fact, has already defined a new target amid the player’s possible departure.
According to information from ‘ESPN’, Cruzeiro is sounding out the situation of Argentine fullback Gabriel Rojas, from Racing (ARG). That is because the Minas Gerais side is treating Kaiki Bruno’s departure as certain after the World Cup, with the possibility of European interest.
It is worth noting that Cruzeiro is asking for between 12 and 15 million euros (R$ 69.7 million and R$ 87 million) to negotiate Kaiki Bruno. Therefore, Flamengo will have to ‘open the wallet’ to sign the fullback.
It is worth highlighting that Kaiki Bruno was a request from coach Leonardo Jardim, since the Portuguese manager worked with the fullback in 2025 at Cruzeiro. In addition, Flamengo’s left-back position is not settled for 2027.
That is because, although Flamengo has made progress on an agreement to renew with Alex Sandro until the end of 2027, the fullback is already 35 years old. In addition, Ayrton Lucas is not in the good graces of the Rubro-Negro fans.
While the window does not open, Flamengo is preparing for the next match of the season. This Saturday (30), the Rubro-Negro faces Coritiba at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, for the 18th round of the Brasileirão.
Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Flamengo and Coritiba through YouTube, the website and social media. However, SporTV (closed channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
