"He does not move from here. Lotito was clear."

Hernanes has netted 14 goals in all competitions for the Biancoceleste this season.

The Tricolor had won the first leg 3-0 and thus fielded a full reserve team as the starters are playing tournaments in Europe.

The only exception was Chelsea-bound Wallace, who normally plays for Fluminense's senior team.

Fluminense won 16 out of 20 games in the competition, and lost only two matches, but Flamengo's Douglas Baggio and Botafogo's Yguinho were the top scorers with 10 goals each.

Flamengo dominated most of the first half this Saturday and were eventually awarded a penalty as Wallace handballed. Thomás failed to convert it though.

Fernandinho scored 1-0 for Flamengo a few minutes later, forcing Fluminense to take a more attacking stance.

Fluminense improved in the second half, wasting a few chances to equalize the game, while Flamengo's Lorran missed a sitter near the end of the match.

This is the second time in a row Fluminense win the competition, the Tricolor won both turns of the tournament.

The offer is estimated in around €12 million, and as is typical in Brazil, Corinthians own only 40% of his economic rights.

Romarinho shone in the Copa Libertadores final last year, and has started many games this season.

Corinthians are not eager to sell him as they plan to keep the young players in the squad, while older players such as Jorge Henrique are expected to leave, and Alessandro will retire in December.

Paulinho is also expected to leave as Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk are interested, his buyout fee is estimated in €20 million.

Manager Tite hopes that all players stay though, he told Globo Esporte: "The manager always wants to see the squad being improved, and wants that the players in the squad improve more, as well as wanting to see more signings."

The 27-year-old has found it hard to break into the first team squad during his five years at Signal Iduna Parkallen, having fallen behind Mats Hummels and Neven Subotic in the defensive pecking order.

Santana previously revealed that he would to speak to coach Jurgen Klopp about a potential move at the end of the season, amid reported interest from Schalke.

According to Goal.com, the Brazilian has now sealed a contract until 2016 at the Veltins Arena, worth around €3 million per season for a fee of €1m - which is his release clause.

Santana scored a dramatic last-minute winner against Malaga to send Dortmund into the final four of the Champions League last month.

The former Figueirense man now has a strong chance of playing in the Wembley final against Bayern Munich on May 25, after Hummels sustained an ankle injury during the 2-1 loss to Hoffenheim on Saturday.

Santana previously stated: "That goal was the best moment of my life.

"The football god has given us this opportunity and now I hope that it works out at Wembley in the final. We will win it."

Paulinho has been linked to European football since he won the Brazilian national league in 2011, and could have moved earlier this year, but he preferred to stay at Corinthians for Copa Libertadores.

Chelsea have expressed interest in the past but according to respected journalist Juca Kfouri, he will join either Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk after the São Paulo state league final.

The Italian club is considered the best choice from a sporting point of view, despite their recent decline. Indeed, they will not play any European competition next season.

Shakhtar's offer is more interesting from an economic point of view, but players based in Ukraine are rarely called up for Brazil's national team.

Corinthians' director Duílio Monteiro Alves says he will only leave if the buyout fee is paid.

He told Lancenet: "The buyout fee is 20 million Euros. Corinthians don't set a price, we don't want to sell him."

"He’s not going to leave. Everything is possible in football, but in principle he should remain in Milan."

The 29-year-old has also attracted attention from former Brazil boss Dunga, who is head coach at Internacional.

"Interest from Internacional? I’m aware of it, but now we have to think to qualify in the Champions League" Galliani concluded.

ESPN Brasil reports that Flamengo's vice-president Wallim Vasconcellos met representatives from MFD Sports, which is the group of investors that run Mattheus's career.

The meeting happened this Friday, as Wallim Vasconcellos showed his proposal to extend Mattheus' contract for five more seasons.

A deal is expected to be reached by Monday, as Mattheus and his staff felt disappointed that Juventus did not make an official offer as they claimed they would.

The Italian club preferred to stall the negotiations so they could sign Mattheus for free in December, which was not an acceptable option for Mattheus and his father Bebeto.

Mattheus is eager to sign a new contract as he has barely played in 2013 and has been training alone due to the then to the now failed negotiations with Juventus, which according to Bebeto, is harmful to his son's development.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the 13th minute with a header, as he leaped higher than Atlético's defender Godín.

"We will sit and hear what he has to say. The fact is that the performance wasn't good. But we can't judge him like that. We'll calmly decide this."

Beckham, who moved to Parc des Princes in January, had been offered a one-year contract extension by the French champions but has decided to call time on his 21-year career.

The 38-year-old had some kind words about young Brazilian Lucas, who he believes is one of the best players in the world.

He told Globo TV: "Lucas is obviously one of the best players in the world.

"But in my opinion, the most important thing is that he is an amazing person.

"He is cheerful, young, and likes to have fun. You can tell he loves playing football. I like him a lot."

The 20-year-old arrived at PSG in the same month as Beckham, following a €45 million transfer from São Paulo.

Lucas previously stated: "I had the honour and pleasure of playing alongside this legend of world football. It was a short time, but I am thankful I could share experiences and socialise with someone spectacular.

"We, fans and players, we are very grateful to you for being a part of football history. You will be missed by all of us. Thank you, ‘Sir’ David Beckham."

And Hodgson said: “We are going into the autumn with three of the four matches at home. Our fate is in our hands.

"We have to make certain we select the right players and that they are prepared to make the necessary sacrifices to get those wins because our goal is Brazil 2014 and we don’t want anything to get in the way of achieving that.

"Instead of using these matches as experimental, I am looking at them as preparation games. This, though, is a good chance to bring in Alex behind Joe Hart and Ben Foster to see how he copes in the senior squad. He deserves it because he is playing well.”

"You don't necessarily fill your team with players who are virtually clones of each other," said Hodgson. "It is very important to have some members who can give you another dimension.

"Since Andy has come back from injury, he has been in our thoughts. I am not concerned about his playing style. There is always going to be room for a centre forward of his class and type.

"He is good at holding the ball up and very good at attacking crosses, not only in the opponents' penalty box but also our own."

"Jack Butland came with us to the Euros but we have not had a chance to use him over the last few months because the Under-21s have a very important tournament in Israel," Hodgson said.

"We have had a good look at Fraser Forster. With Alex having done so well in the games I have seen him play and from the reports I have received of him, this is a good chance to bring him in behind Joe Hart and Ben Foster and see how he copes in the senior squad.

"He deserves it because he is playing well. It is important to give these young players a chance to show what they can do. I will have a chance to talk to him, as will Dave Watson our goalkeeping coach."
