HOW IS DAVID LUIZ'S SITUATION? PORTAL POINTS OUT POSSIBLE LEAVE FOR FREE IN 2025

Defender David Luiz, 37, is enjoying a comeback in the 2024 season. Tite's starter in six of the last seven games of the Brazilian Championship, the defender entered the final stretch of his contract with Flamengo. With the possibility of leaving the Rio club for free at the end of the year, his situation is still undefined. The recent performance has been a positive point, but the renewal has not yet been discussed.

David Luiz was in decline and his continuity in the squad this year only happened due to Tite. The coach trusts the defender and decided to keep him after a bad season in 2023. Tite's trust was crucial for the veteran's stay, who is now taking advantage of the opportunities given. Without this decision, David Luiz could have already left the club, according to the O Dia portal.

At the beginning of the year, David Luiz had few playing opportunities, but everything changed after Léo Pereira's injury. The uncertainty regarding Fabrício Bruno's stay also opened up space for him. The defender took advantage of his chances, had good performances and won the starting spot. As a result, Léo Pereira and Léo Ortiz became options on the bench, while David Luiz established himself as a starter.

In just 15 games, David Luiz is already enjoying his highest scoring season with the Flamengo shirt . He scored two goals this year, showing a more offensive side. Since arriving at the club in 2021, the defender has won a Libertadores, a Copa do Brasil and a Campeonato Carioca, accumulating important titles and standing out in the team.

David Luiz's future at Flamengo is still uncertain, but his comeback in 2024 shows that he still has a lot to offer. A good phase can be decisive for a possible contract renewal. The final decision should be made in the coming months, taking into account the player's performance and the club's plans.
