Transfer Window Ends on September 2nd

By: Mônica Alves

The transfer window closes on September 2nd, and the time for Flamengo to make the final adjustments is running out. According to an investigation by the Coluna do Fla reporting team, José Boto is keeping an eye on market movements, looking for opportunities to strategically strengthen the squad. The priority is to sign players who will increase the quality and balance of the team, without losing focus on the club's planning for the rest of the season.

At the same time, Flamengo faces the challenge of protecting some of its main players from the interest of European clubs. One of the most sought-after names is defender Léo Ortiz, who recently received an offer from Sporting, Portugal.

Despite the foreign interest, Flamengo does not intend to let go of the defender, who is an absolute starter for the team. This situation requires constant attention from the board to avoid important losses that could compromise the team's performance.

WHAT ADJUSTMENTS IS FLAMENGO'S BOARD PLANNING FOR THE SQUAD?

In addition, the board is evaluating the need to make some minor adjustments to the squad. Internally, there is a perception that the group is "too big". Therefore, the goal is to find a balance between quantity and quality, adjusting the team to maintain competitiveness and a good atmosphere within the club.

One of the cases that illustrates these adjustments is that of striker Michael, who is not in coach Filipe Luís' plans and is looking for a way out, waiting for offers.

WHICH REINFORCEMENTS HAS FLAMENGO ALREADY SIGNED IN THIS WINDOW?

Flamengo has already announced some important signings to strengthen the squad in this window: midfielder Saúl, right-back Emerson Royal, striker Samuel Lino and midfielder Jorge Carrascal. With these reinforcements, the board believes that the window has been positive, but remains attentive and has not stopped scouting the market for other opportunities that can further strengthen the team.
