To make matters worse, De la Cruz still does not want to define his future. During the holidays, the player will undergo a muscle reinforcement procedure on his left knee, which will involve applying part of a hip bone. Only after this surgery will he decide his path.

Flamengo intends to reduce its squad and create room for new signings. Some players are not part of the management's plans. De la Cruz might end up on this list.

Flamengo: Bold Plans

Recently, Flamengo's president, Luiz Eduardo Baptista, stated that the club has the financial means to invest R$ 1 billion in reinforcements for the next season. However, he knows he will need to reduce the current payroll.

The Flamengo squad went on vacation after the end of the Intercontinental Cup and will return in January for the Carioca Championship and the Brazilian Championship. Next year, the club will also compete in the South American Recopa, the Brazilian Super Cup, the Copa do Brasil, and the Copa Libertadores.
