Flamengo decide Rossi's future after World Cup interest | OneFootball

Did Flamengo receive offers for Agustín Rossi in 2026?

Agustín Rossi has been experiencing ups and downs in the 2026 season. Even so, the Argentine received approaches from two teams during the break for the World Cup. As a result, Flamengo defined the goalkeeper’s future.

Even though he has been questioned by part of the fanbase after a string of mistakes, Rossi remains Flamengo’s undisputed starting goalkeeper. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro has no interest in negotiating the Argentine’s departure, especially in the middle of the season. The only scenario in which the goalkeeper would leave would be a very advantageous offer along with an immediate replacement.

Which teams inquired about signing Rossi?

River Plate (ARG) inquired about signing Rossi to replace 21-year-old goalkeeper Santiago Beltrán. In addition, Besiktas (TUR) is also monitoring the situation of Flamengo’s goalkeeper. At the start of 2026, the Turkish club submitted an offer for the Argentine, which was rejected by the Rubro-Negro.

What is Rossi’s situation at Flamengo?

Flamengo completed the signing of Rossi in July 2023 on a free transfer, having signed a pre-contract with the goalkeeper, who was playing for Boca Juniors (ARG). Flamengo’s undisputed starter, the Argentine is under contract with Fla until December 2027.

Since then, Rossi has made 173 appearances for Flamengo, with 81 clean sheets. In addition, the Argentine has won three Carioca titles, one Brazilian Championship, one Copa do Brasil, one Libertadores, and one Supercopa do Brasil.

What is Flamengo’s plan?

At the moment, Agustín Rossi and the other Flamengo players who were not called up for the World Cup are enjoying a few weeks of vacation. The rubro-negro squad is scheduled to report back on June 19 at CT Ninho do Urubu.

In addition, Flamengo plans to hold a mid-season training camp in Portugal during the World Cup break, including three friendlies. Thus, on Portuguese soil, the Rubro-Negro will face Falkirk (SCO), Birmingham (ENG), and Benfica (POR).
