Flamengo is close to finalizing its roster for the 2025/26 basketball season . The club has finalized the signing of 23-year-old Argentine Alex Negrete , one of the standout performers in the last season of the Argentine National League. A standout at Instituto de Córdoba, the player is expected to activate his release clause to join the Pride of the Nation.
The information was published by the Argentine newspaper La Voz, which revealed that the athlete's agent announced his departure shortly after the end of the national finals. According to the report, the club's coach, Sergio Hernández, was directly involved in the negotiations and contacted the Argentine club's board.
Negrete finished the season averaging 13.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2 assists per game , shooting 53.2% from two-point range and 33.8% from three. He was the Instituto's top scorer and was named the tournament's Best Young Player and Most Improved Player. Having played for Argentina's youth teams, he recently made his senior national team debut and is reporting for training in Madrid this week.
Although originally a shooting guard, Alex Negrete arrives to bolster the rotation on the wings, adding versatility to Sergio Hernández's squad. With him, Flamengo ends its search for another perimeter player , now comprised of players with multiple roles and the ability to adapt to different formations.
With Negrete's arrival, Flamengo completes its roster overhaul for next season. In addition to the Argentine, the club has renewed key players, confirmed Markeith Cummings, and announced three other signings to compete in the New Basketball Brazil (NBB) , the Champions League of the Americas, and the FIBA Interclub World Cup.
