Flamengo released the financial balance sheet for the first half of 2024. The result presented was not the best, but the club does not create alarm. The red-black had a deficit of R$79 million until June 30th. However, Mais Querido declared that it had R$209.4 million in cash between cash in the current account and fixed income investments, an increase of R$74 million compared to the first quarter.
This amount, however, , was significantly reduced after Flamengo paid the city of Rio de Janeiro the amount of R$ 138.2 million related to the auction of the Gasometer land for the construction of its own stadium. With the purchase, the cash amount increases to R$71.2 million.
In the document, the club states that it still has to pay R$271.7 million for player signings, R$177.8 million of which in short-term debts (which must be paid in the next 12 months starting in July 2024). The remaining R$93.98 million are in installments starting in July 2025. The value is higher than what Flamengo has to receive for sale of players.
According to the presentation, Flamengo stands to receive R$ 208.8 million from the sale of athletes, with R R$165.2 million in short-term payments and R$43.7 in the long term. The club, however, does not heed the alert and expects a better result from the second half of 2024.
The board claims that “due to its strong operational cash generation capacity and the long terms of these payments, this balance presented in 2Q/2024 does not mean that the club needs to sell athletes in equivalent amounts or take out loans.”
Check out the result presented by Clube de Regatas do Flamengo
“We ended this first quarter recording an accumulated deficit of R$79.5 million. This result is approximately R$121 million lower than the result for 2Q2023 (positive by R$41.5 million), since the result for that semester was strongly impacted by the sale of the rights to player João Gomes in the beginning of the year window , which generated non-recurring revenue of R$ 103 million.
Better understanding the variation in recurring revenue, which does not include the sale of athletes, a slight reduction can be observed in relation to the same period of the previous year: R$458.8 million in recurring revenue compared to R$469.5 million in 2023, which does not generate long-term concerns, since this performance was due to the occasional reduction in revenue from participation in competitions, since in the previous year we competed in more competitions in the first quarter (Recopa Sul-Americana, Supercopa do Brasil and Club World Cup).
In conclusion, this deficit result in the first semester is natural and expected, due to the typical seasonality of revenues of the football industry. Our current estimate remains of a surplus result in 2024, which will allow us to continue in a sustainable manner, competing for the main places in the competitions in which we participate.”

Although the next transfer window only opens in June, Flamengo is already keeping an eye on the market. According to information from journalist Raisa Simplicio, from Goal, Mais Querido is monitoring the situation of Richarlison, from Tottenham .
The English team's striker is at the end of his contract and Tottenham are open to hearing offers for the player in the next transfer window.
