Galatasaray, from Turkey, is negotiating the signing of midfielder Wendel, a former Flamengo target who belongs to Zenit, from Russia. The Turkish team formalized, last Saturday, a proposal of 20 million euros (R$ 118 million) plus bonuses for the 26-year-old player.


Alexander Ivanovich Medvedev, president of the Russian club, hopes to receive more for the Brazilian and talks continue between the clubs. In fact, he treats negotiations with an iron fist, just as he did regarding Claudinho with Flamengo.


In 2023, Wendel was close to leaving Zenit for Flamengo. He even went to Brazil to resolve personal issues and negotiations with the red-black team, but the conversations were held up by the attitude of the Russian team, which was reluctant and did not accept the business model proposed by the red-black board.

Wendel has been at Zenit for four years, who is happy with the player and does not intend to facilitate negotiations. Last season, he recorded four goals and 10 assists in 34 games. The Brazilian also spent time at Sporting and Fluminense, where he was revealed.

HALF REVEALS FAMILY SUPPORT


The midfielder then emphasized his focus on work and downplayed outside comments . He also revealed his family's support during the turbulent period behind the scenes at the club, with the former doctor being fired shortly thereafter.

"I stayed with my family. I think a lot has been said, a lot has happened . Now I'm not going to talk; I'm focusing on what I have to do. Regardless of what people say, I know what I have to do. I'm focused and I have to work hard to play. I'm calm. I came back feeling great today, and I'm very happy about that," he concluded.

Flamengo confirmed this Monday (18) a new sponsorship agreement with Betano, a company in the sports betting sector. The announcement was made on the club's official social networks , a few days after the break with PixBet, a former partner.


The partnership includes men's and women's soccer, Olympic sports, and Flamengo's own communications platform, Flamengo TV . Although the contract length and value have not been disclosed, the club has received offers worth over R$200 million annually , solidifying the Mais Querido as the highest-paid team in terms of master sponsorship in Brazil.


PIXBET EXIT WAS MOTIVATED


The relationship with PixBet ended after the company experienced financial difficulties and failed to fulfill its contractual commitments. The bookmaker, which had signed an agreement in 2024 with the possibility of automatic renewal for another two years, chose not to activate the clause due to cash flow problems.

If the renewal had been exercised, Mengão would have received around R$250 million additionally , in addition to a R$50 million bonus related to the partnership with FlaBet, the club's official betting house, which will also cease its operations with the departure of PixBet.


NEW CONTRACT REINFORCES MARKET POWER

With the arrival of Betano, Flamengo reaffirms its strength in the sponsorship market and expands its international reach , as the company also sponsors major clubs in Europe and Latin America. The agreement places Flamengo in the absolute lead among Brazilian clubs in terms of amounts received per master sponsor.
