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.
The Rubro-Negro idol received inquiries from the rival Tricolor, but refused out of respect for his history at the club, strengthening his emotional bond with the Most Beloved.

Signed by Bahia in 2024, after ending his cycle at Flamengo, Everton Ribeiro could have followed another path in Brazilian football. During his participation in the program Fechamento, on SporTV, last Sunday (7), former midfielder Felipe Melo revealed that he pressured president Mário Bittencourt for the midfielder to be signed by Fluminense .
"Fluminense wanted it. I kept pestering the president and saying, ' Bring it, bring it, bring it here. It has to come, it has to come.' I always thought it would be almost impossible because I'm an idol at Flamengo , which is Fluminense's rival, but I was one of the guys who pestered the president. Unfortunately, it didn't happen, and he went to Bahia," Felipe said.
This wasn't the first time Everton Ribeiro 's name was linked to Fluminense. In an interview with TNT Sports Brasil in 2024, the midfielder revealed that he turned down an offer from the Laranjeiras club . According to him, the decision was made out of respect for the trajectory he had built at Rubro-Negro.
"I knew about the interest. I'm especially grateful to the president of Fluminense, who always showed affection and admired my football, but because of everything I experienced at Flamengo, because of everything I achieved there, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving Flamengo and going to a rival straight away like that. It would be strange for me. I respect the clubs that wanted me, they have their history and I have mine at Flamengo too," said the player at the time.
The midfielder played for the Rio de Janeiro club between 2017 and 2023 , during which time he established himself as one of the club's greatest recent idols. During his career, he won 11 titles: two Libertadores, two Brazilian Championships, one Copa do Brasil, one Recopa Sudamericana, three Campeonato Carioca titles, and two Brazilian Super Cups.

Recently, Nicolás De La Cruz received an offer from a Qatari club interested in signing him. The Uruguayan midfielder, however, decided to decline the offer and reiterated his desire to remain with the Rio de Janeiro club . According to the athlete himself, his decision is linked to the desire to repay the trust shown by the board, which invested heavily in his arrival.
Before arriving in Rio de Janeiro, the midfielder was already the subject of speculation, especially after his success with River Plate. Flamengo , which had been trying to sign him on other occasions, managed to complete the deal in December 2023. At the time, the board paid a $16 million release clause, a figure that generated great anticipation around his performance in Brazilian football.
Between June and July, the Uruguayan was sidelined for seven games due to inflammation in his left knee. During this period, a controversy involving the medical department took center stage. José Luiz Runco, then the team's manager, stated in internal messages that the athlete had chronic injuries in both knees . The situation generated significant backlash and led to the club doctor's departure, raising questions about the Flamengo midfielder's physical condition.
With his gradual return to the squad, De La Cruz was included in all subsequent matches. Despite not playing against Internacional in the Libertadores, he earned minutes in the historic 8-0 rout of Vitória. Coming into the final stretch, he showed determination on the field and coincided with Jorginho's appearance, creating space for the Uruguayan to once again become a starter.
During the preparation for the match against Grêmio , the coach and coaching staff paid special attention to the player. The week's training sessions served as a prelude to his return to the starting lineup, something he hadn't done since the derby against Botafogo on May 18th.
