Part 4/6:
On the transfer front, Flamengo has turned down an initial inadequate offer from Zenit for their right-back Wesley, deemed as one of the top performers in his position throughout the last season. The proposal of only €7 million for a 50% stake in player rights was dismissed, affirming Flamengo’s commitment to retaining their key players.
In contrast, the future of defender Carlinhos appears uncertain, as he is not part of head coach Felipe Luiz’s plans moving forward. Despite a lengthy contract courtesy of prior management, Carlinhos may be transitioned out, with interest noted from multiple international clubs. Speculations suggest options for either a loan or permanent transfer are in the works, actively reflecting the club's aims to optimize its lineup.
