Flamengo has reversed its decision to sell attacker Matheus Gonçalves to Cruzeiro, halting a transfer that was previously considered nearly finalized. The negotiation between the two Brazilian clubs had progressed to the point where only paperwork remained, according to sources close to the deal. However, Flamengo ultimately decided not to proceed with the sale. Matheus Gonçalves was reportedly unaware of the club's change of plans and learned about the cancellation during the halftime of a Flamengo under-20 match against Atlético-MG, when a reporter informed him of the decision. The player expressed surprise, stating that he and his representatives had been told the transfer was agreed upon by the club presidents. Cruzeiro had been awaiting the completion of the deal, with coach Leonardo Jardim commenting on the status of the negotiation. This development leaves Matheus Gonçalves continuing with Flamengo for the foreseeable future. Separately, Lucas Oliveira declined an offer from Sport and will remain with Vasco.
