Flamengo lost another one to Palmeiras?! Yes, and this time, outside the fields. The dispute was in the transfer market, but not involving a specific player. According to a survey carried out by the Torcedores.com portal, the São Paulo team has the best strategy when it comes to buying, selling, lending and borrowing athletes. Previously, this position belonged to Mengão.
The portal took into account the last five seasons, making a comparison between the number of awards from Brazilian clubs and how much they invested to achieve the squads they have. From 2019 to now, Flamengo and Palmeiras have won the main national and continental cups, but Alviverde had to spend less to do so.
While the São Paulo club spent 83.58 million euros (R$451.3 million, at the current price) in signings, the rubro-negro disbursed almost double this amount: 160.75 million euros (R$ 1.15 million). In this way, Flamengo spent around 213.2 thousand euros (R$1.15 million) per point won in the period, while each point for Palmeiras cost 117.2 thousand euros (R$632.8 thousand).
< Therefore, on the field, Abel Ferreira's team was 1.9 times cheaper and ended up winning the same titles — the Rio team only has one more Super Cup than Palmeiras.
Some clubs spent less than Palmeiras in terms of points won in the period — like Atlético-MG, Athletico, São Paulo and Corinthians, for example —, but they didn't come close to the number of cups won by alviverde. This reason makes Verdão the team that hires the best in the country.
In addition to the titles won, Palmeiras also stands out in the resale power of its players. This was the case with the transfers of Danilo to Nottingham Forest, Matías Viña to Roma and Arthur to Zenit, which generated a total of R$256 million for the São Paulo club's coffers, with a profit of R$25.2 million.
In total, the Alviverde team raised 74.2 million euros (around R$401 million) just from the sales of players who arrived and left between 2019 and 2023. In general terms, Palmeiras managed to earn 1.5 times more than Flamengo with the sales of its players, spending almost twice less than the red-black team.
Mengão stands out in the Championship not only because it is at the top of the competition, but also because it has outstanding numbers in all phases of the game.

Flamengo remains firmly in the lead of the 2025 Brasileirão , supported by numbers that prove its strength across the board. The red-and-black team is the competition's top scorer, with 47 goals scored, and also the fewest goals conceded, having conceded only 10 so far . This balance between attack and defense has been a hallmark of the campaign.
In the creative department, Flamengo also stands out as the team that created the most clear-cut chances , totaling 54. Possession is another strong point, averaging 62.8% per game, demonstrating the team's control and tactical organization.
Their passing accuracy reinforces their superiority: they have 519 successful passes per match, a number unmatchable for their rivals . On offense, their average of six successful shots per game makes Flamengo a constant threat to any defense.
In addition to their offensive prowess, the team has gone 13 games without conceding a goal, demonstrating consistency and defensive solidity . Their collective performance is also reflected in their ratings: their average Sofascore rating is 7.12, the highest in the league.

Flamengo opened the scoring against Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in Caxias do Sul, for the Brazilian Championship. Despite controlling possession, the team had not yet created clear chances until a play on the left changed the course of the first half.
Galvão Bueno on Saúl's assist in the Juventude vs Flamengo match: "He doesn't make a cross, he passes it to Arrascaeta's head"
Samuel Lino accelerated down the left wing and found space to cross into the box. Spaniard Saúl Ñíguez, with great technique, delivered a precise pass to Arrascaeta's head , who rose through the opposing defense and finished firmly: 1-0 to Flamengo .
During the Prime Video broadcast, the commentator was full of praise for the play and, especially, for the Spanish midfielder: "All it takes is one space for this Flamengo team to be unmarked, and this happens. And this guy, Saúl, knows how to play football! He doesn't just cross, he passes it to Arrascaeta, who times the ball perfectly and gets between the defenders to score," extolled Galvão Bueno.
After the 2-0 win, Filipe Luís stated in a press conference that Saúl's performance could be "the best of his career." The Spaniard, however, disagreed and reflected on his experience in Brazil.
"I don't think so. I've had some really good moments in terms of everything, but right now I feel really good mentally . I'm lucky to have my family with me, accompanying me on this adventure. I know it's not easy for them, because I go out to train, spend time with my teammates, and enjoy what I do, but for those who are by our side, it's different. It's not easy to leave our country or any place. They do it for us, and I'm very grateful for that," said the number 8.
