Overview

• Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte reports Rossi has initiated naturalization, a move that could make him selectable by Brazil if completed.
• Flamengo is fully supporting the paperwork, and the goalkeeper is negotiating an extension beyond his current deal through December 2027 with improved terms.
• Brazil’s Migration Law (Article 65) typically requires four years of residence, Portuguese proficiency and a clean record, so the outcome and timing remain uncertain.
• Rossi’s push follows a standout run that included two saves in Flamengo’s Libertadores quarterfinal shootout against Estudiantes and another penalty stop in league play.
• Emerson Leão publicly lauded Rossi’s form and suggested Argentina consider him, while any Brazil call-up under Carlo Ancelotti would depend on securing citizenship.
