The Copa do Brasil is notable for paying good values to the 92 participating teams – the total value to this season's champion could reach R$96.39 million. Whoever advances to the round of 16, for example, will pocket R$3.465 million. At 9:30 pm this Wednesday (22), Amazonas and Flamengo will fight for the place and, of course, for the money. The amount, however, would have completely different impacts on the two clubs. The value represents a lot for the Manaus team and is almost negligible for the Rio team, which, by winning the first duel 1-0, at Maracanã, has the advantage of a draw tonight.
The financial disparity becomes clear when comparing salary sheets. Amazonas spends per month, according to "ge" , around R$ 1 million in salaries. The award therefore represents more than three months of salary, which includes well-known athletes, such as Jô, Dentinho and Sassá. For Flamengo, the award represents just over four days of salary. payments, which are around R$ 25 million per month, according to a revelation made by manager Bruno Spindel, at the end of last year.
In this edition of the Copa do Brasil alone, Amazonas has already collected, in prizes, almost R$ $5 million. The team received just over R$1.3 million just for participating in the first phase and another R$1.47 million for eliminating Independente-AP by qualifying for the third phase, leaving Maringá behind. , pocketed another R$ 2.205 million. Rubro-Negro profited "only" R$ 2.205 million.
As it is competing in the CONMEBOL Libertadores, the club entered the competition directly in this third phase and has already accumulated the prize of participation. If they are champions, the Flamengo team will earn, in total, R$ 93.135 million.
The duel between Amazonas and Flamengo will be played at the Arena da Amazônia. The 1-0 winning goal for Rubro-Negro in the first game was scored by Pedro, in a match that was marked by Gabigol's return to the field after being suspended for alleged attempted fraud in an anti-doping test and by booing and insulting Tite for part of the Flamengo fans. Some fans were irritated by the performance and the meager score. The result gives the Flamengo fans the advantage of a draw. If Amazonas wins by one goal difference, the place will be determined on penalties.

Flamengo recently rejected inquiries from three European clubs for defender Léo Pereira . According to the ge portal, Valencia, Sevilla, and Porto have expressed interest in the player , seeking information on the conditions for a potential deal.
Despite contact from representatives, the club's board made it clear that it has no intention of negotiating the player during this window . However, communication between the parties will remain open for future discussions.
Currently, the only way for Léo Pereira to leave the Rio de Janeiro club would be to pay the full release clause, set at 60 million euros (approximately R$380 million). A similar situation occurs with Léo Ortiz , who has also been targeted by European clubs.
Signed in 2020 to replace Pablo Marí, the defender arrived after the Spaniard's departure to Arsenal . At the time, Rubro-Negro paid around €7 million (approximately R$32 million) to Athletico-PR.
Since wearing the red-and-black jersey, Léo Pereira has made 251 appearances, scored 15 goals, and provided five assists. The defender has won a Copa Libertadores, a Campeonato Brasileiro , two Copa do Brasil titles, a Recopa Sudamericana, a Supercopa Rei, and four state titles.

Pablo Marí, one of the key players in Flamengo's Libertadores and Brasileirão triumphs in 2019, may be in Atlético-MG's sights. According to Italian journalist Nicolò Schira, a transfer market specialist, the Minas Gerais club has expressed interest in signing the Spanish defender , currently a starter for Fiorentina.
"Two foreign clubs have shown interest in defender Pablo Marí ," Schira revealed on social media. " Atlético Mineiro is interested in defender Pablo Marí ," the reporter added.
After excelling at Flamengo , Pablo Marí was sold to Arsenal in England in 2020 for 14 million euros. The defender also spent time on loan at Udinese and Monza , before being acquired permanently by the Italian club in 2023.
Thanks to the maintenance of 40% of the economic rights at the time of the transfer, Flamengo made a profit of around R$14.6 million from the negotiation and still has to receive a portion of 680 thousand euros (approximately R$4.35 million), an amount that should be paid soon.
In early 2025 , Pablo Marí transferred to Fiorentina, responding to a request from coach Raffaele Palladino , who had previously worked with him at Monza. With a contract until June 2026, the defender is a key player in the Italian club's defense, making an immediate release difficult.
