What did the Flamengo president say about signing Calleri?


In recent days, the name of Calleri, from São Paulo, has been linked to Flamengo. Therefore, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, president of the Rubro-Negro, broke the silence and commented on whether the Most Beloved had made any inquiries about signing the striker.

— Look, I don't talk about players' names, I talk about processes. The fact that you evaluate these players doesn't mean you will make inquiries or enter into negotiations. And, many times, the fact that you make contact doesn't mean the conversation will move forward. This is a matter for Boto. I talk to him when he says he wants a certain player. I think Calleri is a great player, he has an important history in football, especially at São Paulo," he said, before concluding:

— I still hold a bit of a grudge against him because of that goal at Maracanã against us (2023 Copa do Brasil final), but he is a great player and I wish him all the best. I think he really fits São Paulo. That's my opinion as a fan, I don't know what's going on at São Paulo, but São Paulo and Calleri are a perfect match," he said.

Who were Flamengo's reinforcements in 2026?

Currently, Flamengo is not eyeing any players in the transfer market. The Most Beloved signed three players this season: Lucas Paquetá, Andrew, and Vitão. At the moment, the midfielder is the one who has been getting the most opportunities at Rubro-Negro.

Paquetá, in fact, has a great chance of starting for Flamengo against Corinthians. That's because Erick Pulgar received his third yellow card and will have to serve a suspension against the São Paulo team.

When is the Flamengo vs Corinthians match?

The match between Flamengo and Corinthians is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time) this Sunday (22nd), at Neo Química Arena, for the eighth round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, CazéTV, on YouTube, and Premiere, on pay-per-view, will broadcast the match.
