Flamengo defeated Red Bull Bragantino 2-1 this Wednesday (23), and is already preparing to face Atlético-MG, this Sunday (27). In an attempt to recover in the Brasileirão and defeat Filipe Luís's team, the Minas Gerais team is 'racing against time' to regularize a new reinforcement: striker Biel.
Looking ahead to the 2025 season, Atlético-MG has arranged a one-year loan of striker Biel from Sporting (POR). In addition, the contract includes an option to purchase for seven million euros (R$ 45.4 million). Now, the Minas team is 'racing' to sign a contract and regularize the player in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
Flamengo, meanwhile, also has new reinforcements in this transfer window: Saúl Ñíguez. The red-black board announced the signing of the midfielder this Wednesday (23). Now, the Most Beloved needs to register the Spaniard in the BID by Friday (25). Thus, the player will be authorized to debut with the Sacred Mantle.
At this moment, Flamengo is in second place in the Brazilian Championship, with 33 points. Ahead of the Most Beloved is Cruzeiro, with 34, but one more game compared to Filipe Luís's team. On the other hand, Atlético-MG is in ninth place in the national tournament, with a score of 20.
The interstate classic between Flamengo and Atlético-MG takes place this Sunday (27), for the 17th round of the Brasileirão. The ball rolls for the clash between Cariocas and Mineiros at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. Thus, as tradition dictates, the Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage of the match, through the website and social networks.
