The Flamengo adopts a cautious stance in negotiating the football market and, unlike previous years, does not intend to make exorbitant financial investments to make up for shortages. The current management, led by president Rodolfo Landim, has already allocated more than R$329 million to signings this season, making it the second year with the highest spending since 2019, when the club spent R$360.9 million on reinforcements. Even with the large number of signings, the club still faces difficulties in balancing its finances due to low revenue from player sales.
In contrast to the high amount spent on reinforcements, Flamengo isstay experiencing the worst year in terms of athlete sales since Rodolfo Landim assumed the presidency. Transfers made so far total just R$71.4 million, a value that frustrates the board's expectations. Furthermore, important negotiations that could represent a significant improvement in the club's accounts, such as the sales of Wesley and Fabrício Bruno, ended up not materializing. This disparity between spending on reinforcements and the return obtained from sales reflects a market policy that, at the moment, has not generated the expected financial results. Despite attempts to negotiate players and alleviate the wage bill, Flamengo continues without major progress in the field of athlete transfers. The lack of success in sales directly affects the club's financial planning, which is looking for alternatives to deal with the high costs of maintaining a competitive squad without compromising its financial health. The 2023 scenario contrasts sharply with the situation experienced in 2019, when Flamengo achieved a balance between expenses and revenue, driven by notable sales and strategic signings that led the team to important achievements. However, the current season presents an additional challenge: finding solutions to address shortages in the squad without further compromising the club's budget. The lack of success in sales has directly impacted Flamengo's finances, which already had faced difficulties in closing the financial statement at the beginning of the year. With the lack of resources from the transfer of athletes, the board is forced to rethink its market strategy, avoiding signings at any cost and looking for more viable alternatives to strengthen the squad.

The presence of Bruno Henrique could be the key for Flamengo to overcome difficulties in the final stretch of the 2024 season. The team, under the command of coach Tite, remains active in all competitions, but lost Pedro, the team's top scorer. Brazil in the year, which shook confidence in the offensive sector. Gabigol and Carlinhos, immediate replacements for the center forward position, have not yet demonstrated the necessary security to maintain the goalscoring pace that the team needs.
Bruno Henrique, who has shone brightly in other moments for Flamengo, especially in the 2019 campaign under the command of Jorge Jesus, could be the solution to the problems in attack. He was tested by Tite as a center forward in some matches, but ended up losing space in the starting lineup. However, his versatility opens up an important possibility of resuming his role as number 9, something that Flamengo director Bruno Spindel recently highlighted at a press conference. Spindel mentioned that Bruno Henrique is a viable option for the position, expanding the possibilities for tactical adjustments in the team.
Bruno Henrique's story on Flamengoalready has remarkable passages, the most brilliant being in 2019, when under the command of Jorge Jesus, he experienced his peak with the red-black shirt. At that time, although he officially played as a left winger, his role on the field was much more dynamic. With Gabigol occupying a more advanced position in the attack, Bruno's movement was essential to create scoring opportunities. Gabigol dropped back to help with creation, often collaborating with Everton Ribeiro on the right, while Bruno Henrique took advantage of the spaces in the area to finish the plays.
