Flamengo news digest: Ancelotti to name Brazil squad, Plata update, Jorginho on Italy radar | OneFootball

Flamengo’s agenda features Brazil’s squad reveal, transfer fallout for Gonzalo Plata and international watch around the coming FIFA window.

ESPN reports that Jorginho is back on Italy’s radar after strong form for Flamengo, particularly following the 2025 Brasileirão and Libertadores titles, and he could make Roberto Mancini’s final list.

Carlo Ancelotti will announce Brazil’s squad for three friendlies on Wednesday 9 September at 15:00 Brasília time. The event takes place at CBF headquarters in Rio de Janeiro and will be shown live on CBF TV and GeTV on YouTube, plus SporTV. The next FIFA window runs from 21 September to 6 October in 2026.

Among the pre-selected names are two from Flamengo, Samuel Lino and Pedro.

Gonzalo Plata’s future dominated the recent window. After an agreement with Dynamo Moscow, the forward failed a medical and returned to the club. Football director José Boto has since addressed the matter.
