Spindel says there are athletes who don’t want to come to Flamengo: ‘Fear of not playing’


The director also clarified that Rubro-Negro continues with ongoing conversations between three athletes: Léo Ortiz, Viña and Luiz Henrique




Flamengo has reserved this Friday (12) to hold a series of press conferences a week before its debut in the Campeonato Carioca. In addition to Bruno Henrique, who spoke about the renovation and presentation of De La Cruz, Marcos Braz and Bruno Spindel also spoke to the press. The executive director opened the match by saying that Rubro-Negro remains active on the market for three names and that some athletes do not want to come for fear of not playing due to the competition in the squad.

“The Flamengo squad is very qualified. There is a player we consulted who does not want to come to Flamengo for fear of not playing. The player is afraid, in fact, of not playing and does not want to compete for the place with Arrascaeta , Nico (De La Cruz ), Gerson and with other athletes. The difficulty is sometimes not only financial,” Spindel said.

“There was one just now, not that long ago,” added football vice-president Marcos Braz, without revealing the names.

It is worth mentioning that the Gávea club also negotiated with midfielder Gustavo Scarpa, who agreed with Atlético-MG. At the time, however, the player did not accept the Rossoneri project due to competition within the squad. In midfield there are names like Arrascaeta, De La Cruz and Gerson and the competition promises to be intense in the sector.

Delay in agreements and three names

Spindel also explained the reason for the delay in the other signings and said that Tite was actively involved in choosing the names. In this sense, the club remains active on the market and has ongoing talks with three athletes: Léo Ortiz, from Bragantino, Viña, from Roma, and Luiz Henrique, from Betis.

“Flamengo will not pay the wrong price. There is time, there is a window. The sooner the athlete arrives the better, but we have done and do everything together with the coach. We take into account the sporting aspect. If I needed ” It still takes a while to bring the athlete, obviously I talk to Tite. The important thing is to be assertive. He must be an athlete who can handle the greatness of Flamengo, the pressure of winning on Sunday and Wednesday and has the appearance on the pitch that we need. Decisions are made daily,” he explained.

“There are three names that everyone knows that Flamengo are interested in: Léo Ortiz, Matías Viña and Luiz Henrique. They are very difficult negotiations, which require time and we will work as best we can on Gabigol’s future to have a positive outcome”, he added.

Gabigol renovation

11 Gabigol completed five years in the Flamengo shirt, but ended 2023 in a bad way. The future of the Rossoneri idol, however, is still uncertain, as he is in the last year of his contract. Finally, Marcos Braz explained the situation and said that “things will work out”

“After the 2022 title we were already building a new contract. There were difficult negotiations that have lasted until today. I won’t talk about the current situation. He still has one year left on his contract. We are talking. I “I won’t go into this topic. In the sporting part it is superfluous to talk. It arrived questioned, but it worked great. He is Flamengo’s idol. Things will work out. Gabriel will be here with all his heart, like him. That’s all, any kind of question from entrepreneurs we will solve with them”, he concluded.
