Mirassol boss reveals which Flamengo player he’d love to sign | OneFootball

Which Flamengo player would Rafael Guanaes sign?

Flamengo has one of the best squads in South American football. Not by chance, other clubs in Brazil often keep an eye on the red-and-black players. Mirassol’s coach, Rafael Guanaes, revealed that if he could, he would like to sign Giorgian de Arrascaeta.

— Arrascaeta to me is an extraordinary guy. I’ll mention another: Flaco López, from Palmeiras. I like him a lot. A striker for all phases. The guy is really good, but I’ll go with Arrascaeta, he’s decisive, intelligent — he said, before concluding:

— Danilo, our performance coordinator, worked with him. He said: ‘Rafa, with him you never know what’s going to happen. He’s totally unpredictable. The line of reasoning, the anticipation. That’s how I see him’ — Guanaes concluded, in an interview with ‘Charla Podcast’.

What is Arrascaeta’s situation in 2025?

It’s worth noting that Arrascaeta is having the best season of his career in 2025. Not by chance, the Flamengo board ‘rushed’ and renewed the contract of the number 10, which was valid until the end of 2026.

Thus, the midfielder renewed his contract with Flamengo until December 2028. Furthermore, if he meets the established goals, the contract can be extended until the end of 2029.

What are Arrascaeta’s numbers this season?

Arrascaeta is the main highlight of Flamengo in the 2025 season. At this moment, the number 10 has played 57 matches, scored 22 goals, and provided 16 assists. Thus, the Uruguayan is the top scorer and assist provider for Mengão this year.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Without Arrascaeta, Flamengo remains focused on its next commitment in the Brasileirão. This Saturday (15), Filipe Luís’s team faces Sport at Arena de Pernambuco, at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), in a postponed match from the 12th round of the Brasileirão.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Prime Video (streaming) will broadcast the Sport vs Flamengo match.
