Midfielder Vinicius Souza, a former Flamengo player, has been standing out in English football. Currently at Sheffield United, the 24-year-old player attracted interest from Fulham, who made an offer of 18 million euros (R$105 million) to sign him. However, according to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, Sheffield refused the initial proposal. Negotiations, however, remain ongoing.
Vinicius Souza has a high salary at Sheffield, which puts him on the club's list of possible negotiations this season. If the proposal of 18 million euros was accepted, Flamengo would receive 3% of the total value of the transaction, as provided for by FIFA's solidarity mechanism. This would mean an amount of 540 thousand euros, approximately R$3.1 million. With Sheffield seeking a higher value, Flamengo will be able to profit even more from a possible transfer.
POSSIBLE REUNION AT FULHAM
If the transfer to Fulham comes to fruition, Vinicius Souza would join two former Flamengo players at the English club: Rodrigo Muniz, with whom he played in the youth teams, and Andreas Pereira, who played for Flamengo in 2021. In addition to Fulham, Milan, from Italy, is also closely monitoring the situation of the midfielder.
FIFA SOLIDARITY MECHANISM
FIFA's solidarity mechanism financially compensates clubs that train players in international transactions. The percentage can reach 5% of the transfer value.
In the case of Vinicius Souza, who arrived at Flamengo at the age of 15 and remained until he was 21, the Rio club is entitled to 3% of the value of a future negotiation. This percentage is calculated based on the player's training time, with 0.25% for each year from the 12th to the 15th birthday and 0.5% for each year from the 16th to the 23rd birthday.
Flamengo's Uruguayan player scores 9 goals in 11 rounds and aims to match the goals of Mengão's number 9 and Yuri Alberto; performance exceeds statistical expectations
|
With an average of 0.81 goals per game, attacking midfielder Giorgian De Arrascaeta is experiencing a decisive moment in the 2025 Brasileirão . In 11 games, the Uruguayan has already scored nine goals and registered four assists, consolidating himself as a key player in Flamengo's attack. The average of 8.41 in performance evaluations reinforces the player's consistency , which exceeds the xG (Expected Goals) of 3.45, demonstrating efficiency above expectations.
Flamengo's number 14 is two goals away from equaling Pedro, who scored 11 times in 2024 , and five away from reaching Yuri Alberto , the top scorer in the last edition with 14 goals. If he keeps up his current pace, Arrascaeta has a good chance of surpassing both and leading the list of goalscorers this year. His recent campaign includes standout performances, such as in the 5-0 win over Fortaleza, when he scored a goal and received a rating of 8.5.
In addition to his accuracy, the Uruguayan stands out for his ability to create plays , with four assists so far. His role as an attacking midfielder allows him to participate in both the build-up and finishing, making him one of the most complete players in the competition.
With more than half of the championship still to go, the Uruguayan's performance suggests he can not only match but surpass the numbers of Pedro and Yuri Alberto. If he continues at this level, Arrascaeta will play a decisive role in the title race.
With the FIFA Date in early June, Flamengo will have a short break before taking to the field again . However, with Arrascaeta available, the focus now turns fully to the World Cup, which starts on June 14th. Mengão's debut is scheduled for the 16th, against Espérance (TUN).

Fortaleza suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat against Flamengo on Sunday night (1st), at Maracanã, in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. After the end of the match, striker Marinho spoke out, showing dissatisfaction with the team's performance and acknowledging the fans' disappointment.
“ First of all, we have to apologize to our fans . We have been leaving a lot to be desired in many games. We have been talking about it and it cannot be something repetitive”, declared the player. Marinho also assessed that the team had a safe start to the game , but lost control after conceding the first goal.
According to Marinho , the team from Ceará was unable to maintain consistency in the second half. “ In a game against a very qualified team , we ended up conceding goals very quickly. Four goals in a row, we should have lowered the line a little ,” he said. For the striker, the team’s recovery will only come with concrete actions on the field.
The player's speech reflects his concern about the current situation the club is going through. Despite good performances in previous matches, the team's inconsistent performance has been hampering its campaign in the Brazilian Championship.
With the negative result, Fortaleza lost one position in the table and entered the relegation zone. The team has 10 points and is in 17th place, behind Vitória, which has the same number of points but has an advantage in goal difference - directly influenced by the five goals conceded against Flamengo .
The Mais Querido striker scored two goals in the 5-0 victory and mocked his rival after a controversial incident involving the player from Ceará

In a match valid for the 11th round of the 2025 Brasileirão , Flamengo gave Fortaleza no chance and won with authority by 5-0 this Sunday (01), at Maracanã. One of the highlights of the match was Luiz Araújo, who scored two goals and even provoked striker Deyverson, after a curious move in the first half.
During the first half, Deyverson received the ball near the side of the field , faked a pass and held his leg in an ironic gesture — an attitude he had repeated in previous games. The episode did not go unnoticed. After scoring Flamengo 's third goal, Luiz Araújo celebrated by imitating his opponent's gesture, drawing reactions from the stands and on social media.
The rout began with Arrascaeta, who opened the scoring in the first half. Then, Everton Araújo hit a beautiful shot from outside the area and extended the lead. Luiz Araújo scored the third, already with the provocation . Michael, played in by Varela, scored the fourth goal, and Luiz Araújo scored again to close the account and consolidate the elastic result.
The red-black team's dominance was evident from the first minutes, with the opponent from Ceará having practically no clear chances. Maracanã was the stage for another high-level performance by the team led by Filipe Luís, who continues with a consistent offensive performance.
With the triumph, Mengão reached 24 points and took the lead in the Brazilian Championship , overtaking teams such as Red Bull Bragantino and Palmeiras. Despite this, Palmeiras still has a commitment in this round, against Cruzeiro, in Belo Horizonte.
The Rio de Janeiro team has shown progress both in terms of tactics and individual confidence. Players such as Luiz Araújo, Arrascaeta and Michael have contributed goals and good performances, while the defensive system has also remained solid.
