Flamengo beat Olimpia (PAR) 4-2 on Friday (17), in the last friendly before returning to official matches. In the meantime, the Rubro-Negro gain a boost starting this Saturday (18). It is Jorge Carrascal, who reports back to Ninho do Urubu.
In short, as previously reported by Coluna do Fla, Jorge Carrascal will report back to Flamengo this Saturday (18). It is important to mention that the player could still leave the club, which would be willing to negotiate him in the next transfer window.
Although Jorge Carrascal reports back to Flamengo this Saturday (18), the Rubro-Negro squad will only return to training at Ninho do Urubu on Sunday (19). That is because Flamengo played on Friday (17) and was given the following day off to rest.
Thus, Flamengo have training scheduled for 10 a.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (19). At the training center, the Rubro-Negro continue preparing for the second half of the season after wrapping up the run of friendly matches.
Yes! That is because, recently, Filipe Luís checked Jorge Carrascal’s situation with Flamengo. The coach, who managed the Colombian at Flamengo, is currently in charge of Monaco (FRA). Despite the coach’s desire, the head of scouting at the French team turned down the midfielder.
It is important to mention that, despite being monitored, Carrascal was unable to raise his stock at the World Cup. That is because the player, who was called up by the Colombian National Team, did not play in the tournament and left the World Cup without getting a single minute.
It is worth noting that the second 2026 transfer window will take place between July 20 and September 11. In this way, Flamengo will have about two months to try to sign reinforcements. In addition, the Rio club will have to deal with market interest in players from the current squad.
Now, Flamengo return to the field officially next Wednesday (22). On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro face Chapecoense in a match valid for the 19th round of the Brazilian Championship. In addition, the clash will be played away from home, at Arena Condá.
It is worth emphasizing that Flamengo vs. Chapecoense will be broadcast live by Rede Globo on free-to-air TV. In addition, Premiere, via pay-per-view, will also show the match. On the other hand, Coluna do Fla follows every detail of Flamengo on the website, social media, and YouTube channel.
