Flamengo is looking to sign a center forward in the next transfer window. That way, an ‘old acquaintance’ of the red-and-black fans could appear on Fla’s radar: Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal’s current striker (ENG).
According to journalist Miguel Delaney, Arsenal are willing to accept 05 million pounds (R$ 34 million) to sell Gabriel Jesus. That is because, despite the fee being considered low, the savings from the player’s high wages would make the deal worthwhile.
A product of Palmeiras’ academy, Gabriel Jesus has also played for Manchester City (ENG) and Arsenal in European football. This season, the 29-year-old forward has made 27 appearances for the London side, with six goals and two assists.
Yes! The center-forward position has been one of Flamengo’s priorities since the start of 2026. The Rubro-Negro wants to sign a player to compete for a spot with Pedro, Mengão’s No. 9. Kaio Jorge, one of Cruzeiro’s standout players, was one of Fla’s targets in January, but the club did not reach a financial agreement with the Minas Gerais side.
At the moment, Flamengo only have Pedro as a natural center forward. That is because, in January this year, Fla sold Juninho to Pumas (MEX). Not surprisingly, Bruno Henrique often plays out of position to give the No. 9 a rest.
It is worth noting that the second transfer window of 2026 will take place between July 20 and September 11. That way, Flamengo will have about two months to strengthen the squad for the final stretch of the season.
Flamengo, meanwhile, are preparing for another commitment. This Saturday (30), the Rubro-Negro face Coritiba at 4:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the 18th round of the Brasileirão.
So, 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 (subscription channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Brasileirão match.
