One of Flamengo's strong names when it comes to negotiations, Marcos Braz, Rubro-Negro's vice-president of football, revealed what was the most difficult signing to make so far. According to the director, the negotiation for Rafinha, who belonged to Bayern Munich (ALE) at the time, was the most difficult. Furthermore, Marcos Braz also recalled that Franck Ribéry, a player for the French national team, wanted to convince the Brazilian right-back to play in Saudi Arabia.

"I thought I could lose the signing of Rafinha, in 2019. He was at Bayern Munich, he still had six months left on his contract, but I believed I could get him out in January. I had to hold on until the next window, and the offers for Rafinha kept coming. The last one was Ribéry. wanting to take him to Saudi Arabia, I said: 'F*d**'", said the VP.
