At the end of 2012, the operational debt of Flamengo was approaching R$800 million. Currently, the value is close to being deducted. In the balance released by the club this Thursday (28), Rubro-Negro reported that the numbers are R$48 million.


Cutting the value of the debt from 2022 to 2023, the drop was of 79%. In other words, in the balance sheet released last year, Flamengo had a debt of R$227 million. In this way, Rubro-Negro paid off R$179 million in one season. This was only possible thanks to the collection of more than R$1.3 billion in 2023.


DEBT REDUCTION IN LANDIM MANAGEMENT


The first year of 'management' Rodolfo Landim ended with debt of R$466 million. In 2020, the club was unable to decline, despite the Brazilian title won on that occasion. After all, with the pandemic, pause in football and resumption without an audience, Flamengo lost box office revenue, among others. Therefore, it rose to R$585 million.

In 2021, Flamengo managed to reduce it to R$292 million. In the season before last, with the help of money coming from prizes for the Copa do Brasil and Libertadores titles, it fell to R$227 million. Finally, now, it has reached the R$48 million mark. An unimaginable number 12 years ago.

RECORD REVENUE

Despite the embarrassment on the field in 2023, Flamengo broke records in financial matters. After all, the club raised R$1.3 billion, the biggest achievement in the history of Brazilian football. A large part of this revenue came from the sale of players – R$303 million. For the sake of comparison, Mengo took R$140 million in this segment in 2022.

According to the financial planning for 2024, Flamengo intends to repeat the mark of the last three years and overcome the billion barrier. Performance on the field can help, with possible Libertadores, Copa do Brasil and Brasileirão titles and the respective prizes. On the other hand, the Campeonato Carioca, in which Rubro-Negro is a finalist, does not give money to the champion.

Matías Viña, currently Flamengo's third-choice left-back , has been targeted by Vasco da Gama to bolster their defense. The interest arises from the possibility of Lucas Piton, the club's starting midfielder, leaving this transfer window.


At 26, the Uruguayan hasn't been used by Filipe Luís and hasn't played since the Copa Libertadores Round of 16 against Internacional. Despite the lack of opportunities, the club's management doesn't plan to release him at this time, keeping him as a player for emergency situations.


VASCO SEEKS OPTIONS IN THE MARKET


For Vasco, the search for a player with international experience and experience is a priority, and Viña meets those requirements. Sources close to the player indicate that he welcomes the opportunity to play at São Januário , especially to gain playing time as he seeks a place in the Uruguayan national team for the 2026 World Cup.

Still, negotiations are considered complex. Flamengo has shown no interest in parting ways with the player, and the player himself, while open to a move, is not pushing for a departure. Vasco continues to monitor the situation and may formalize an offer if the situation changes.


RECENT HISTORY

Viña arrived with high expectations, but is currently competing for a spot with Alex Sandro and Ayrton Lucas, falling behind in the pecking order. His goal, however, is to regain his place in the team and remain an option for coach Filipe Luís throughout Flamengo 's season.

According to Italian journalist Nicolò Schira, Atlético-MG has expressed interest in signing the defender, but has been stymied by the player's lack of interest in negotiating a departure.

Signed from Manchester City, Pablo Marí played a key role in the team that won the Libertadores and the Brazilian Championship . He played 30 games, scoring three goals and providing one assist before moving to Europe.
