Filipe Luís calls Jorginho over Monaco move, Carrascal also sounded out | OneFootball

Three Flamengo players were approached by Filipe Luís

Monaco (FRA) announced the appointment of former Flamengo coach Filipe Luís on July 6. As a result, the manager is already keeping an eye on the market in search of reinforcements for the French team. In this way, the coach reached out about three Rubro-Negro players.

According to reporting by Rock Hudson of Coluna do Fla, coach Filipe Luís called Jorginho in an attempt to take the midfielder to Monaco. In addition, the name of Jorge Carrascal was also suggested by the coach, but the head of scouting turned down the Colombian. Finally, the third Flamengo player is being kept secret.

When does the transfer window open?

It is worth noting that the second transfer window of 2026 will take place between July 20 and September 11. Thus, 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.

What is the article author’s opinion on Filipe Luís’ interest in Flamengo players?

“It is normal for Filipe Luís to be interested in taking players he already knows from his time at Flamengo. But it is Rubro-Negro’s duty not to even open talks to negotiate Jorginho and Carrascal, since it would be difficult to find replacements on the market”, said Davi Esteves, journalist for Coluna do Fla.

What were Filipe Luís’ numbers at Flamengo?

In 101 matches as coach of Flamengo, Filipe Luís recorded 64 wins, 22 draws and 15 losses, with a 70% success rate. In addition, the coach won seven titles: Copa do Brasil, Supercopa do Brasil, Carioca, Brasileirão, Libertadores, Derby of the Americas and the Challenger Cup.

In other words, Flamengo had a historic 2025 season, but failed to maintain the same level at the start of 2026. Thus, after runner-up finishes in the Supercopa do Brasil and the Recopa Sudamericana, Rubro-Negro made the decision to dismiss Filipe Luís.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo are preparing to play another friendly before the Brazilian calendar resumes. This Friday (17), Leonardo Jardim’s team will face Olimpia (PAR) at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mané Garrincha Stadium in Brasília.

As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the details of Flamengo’s 2026 season. So stay tuned to the website, social media and YouTube. However, Flamengo TV (YouTube) will broadcast the friendly between Rubro-Negro and Olimpia.
