Flamengo is always a highlight when it comes to Brazilian clubs with a lot of investment and a lot of market value. This Tuesday (23), this was proven once again. The consultancy Sports Value published its annual study on the 30 most valuable clubs in Brazilian football, after evaluating the 2023 fiscal year.

HOW IS THE CALCULATION MADE?

The Sports Value calculation is based on a series of items, from club assets (money in cash, own stadium, modern training center) to the value of the brand (market potential, crowd size and revenue). Sports assets linked to the clubs' registrations with their State Federations and the CBF are also added.

Finally, the price of the squads is also accounted for. The values ​​used are those from the Football Benchmark platform, a statistics tool that calculates the value of each athlete based on a series of variables.

Sesc Flamengo continues to restructure, with new players arriving and leaving. As such, Mais Querido has signed Simone Lee, a 28-year-old American who played last season for Megabox Vallefoglia-ITA.


WHO IS SIMONE LEE?


Simone Lee 's signing has been rumored for some time. The athlete is 1.88m tall and also has a German volleyball background, enjoying the peak of her career last season. She was voted the best attacker in the 2023/24 Turkish Championship.


Throughout her career, Simone has won two German Championships, one Italian Championship, one German Cup and one Nations League for the United States. She was discovered by Pennsylvania State University and went to Europe in the 2017/18 season.

SIMONE'S HUSBAND CAN STRENGTHEN THE FLABASQUETE


According to information from the "Garrafão Rubro-Negro" portal, Simone's husband, German winger Lukas Wank , may join Flabasquete. Lukas will come to accompany his wife, but will need to find a new club after leaving Germany.

Last season, Lukas played for the Wurzburg Baskets, playing in 13 games and averaging 2.3 points, 0.6 assists and 1.3 rebounds. Previously, he played for Oldenburg, Skyliners Frankfurt, Lowen Braunschweig, Niners Chemnitz, RheinStars Köln and Science City Jena.

Luiz Eduardo Baptista took over as president of Flamengo in January, after winning the red-black elections at the end of 2024. Thus, the leader of Mais Querido gave a quick interview to the press present in the United States and exposed the financial reality that the club found after the end of Rodolfo Landim's management.





Flamengo had money for two days, so Flamengo had a good economic situation, but a bad financial situation", highlighted Bap.


He continued: "If Flamengo were a company earning R$1.5 billion per year, it would have to have around R$300, R$400 million in cash. That's how you run a company. No one runs a large company with less than 3, 4 months of cash in hand. Like that guy who has furniture, furnishings, but no money in the bank. He had no liquidity," revealed Bap.

INCREASE IN DEBT IN 2024

It is worth remembering that Flamengo released the annual report with the audited financial statements for the 2024 fiscal year. The balance sheet even showed record revenue of R$1.3 billion, but also indicated a 581% increase in net operating debt, which went from R$48 million to R$327 million, and a deficit of R$734 thousand.

SOLUTIONS TO SAVE MONEY

Finding itself in a delicate financial situation, Flamengo 's focus at the beginning of the year was to increase its cash flow. Thus, with the non-renewal of David Luiz and Gabigol's contracts, the Rubro-Negro made room in the monthly payroll. In addition, the Rubro-Negro agreed to sell Fabrício Bruno to Cruzeiro for R$44 million.

FOCUS ON SEASON SEQUENCE

So, while Bap continues trying to recover Flamengo financially, the red-black squad focuses on the next commitment in the Club World Cup. Rubro-Negro returns to the field this Tuesday (24), at 10 pm (Brasília time), for the match against Los Angeles FC.
