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.”
The striker has not had a place with coach Filipe Luís and may already have to pack his bags for Europe and play in the continental tournament.

With no room in Filipe Luís's squad, striker Juninho is close to leaving Flamengo . The player expressed his desire to return to Qarabag in Azerbaijan , the club where he enjoyed a successful career before joining Flamengo. The information was published by the RTI Esporte portal.
Signed in January, Juninho failed to live up to expectations and lost his place in the 2025 season . According to the report, the deal depends on Qarabag's performance in the Champions League preliminary round.
The Azerbaijani team faces Ferencváros, from Hungary, after winning the first leg 3-1 away from home . To advance, they can lose by up to one goal in the return leg, scheduled for this Wednesday (27), at 1:45 pm (Brasília time).
Qarabag wants to sign Juninho on a season-long loan until June 2026. However, the red-black board prefers a permanent deal , as the striker is not in Filipe Luís's plans. For Flamengo , the striker scored only three goals, including one in the Campeonato Carioca final, but was unable to establish himself in the first team.
While Juninho remains at Filipe Luís's disposal, Flamengo prepares for the next game in the Brazilian Championship. On Sunday (31) at 4 pm (Brasília time), Mais Querido receives Grêmio at Maracanã for the 22nd round of the competition.
The player is a product of Mengão and, despite not having had a place in the club's professional squad, he will have a new opportunity in the second division of the Brasileirão.

Looking to strengthen the squad for the fight to escape the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship Series B, Athletic confirmed the arrival of defender Felipe Vieira , a young player trained in the youth ranks of Flamengo.
Felipe joined Flamengo in 2022 to play for the under-17 team and quickly excelled. At under-20, he earned a place in national and international competitions, demonstrating maturity and confidence. He was part of the squad that won the Under-20 Libertadores , a competition in which Flamengo defeated Palmeiras on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the final.
With the title, the club secured a spot in the U-20 Intercontinental Championship, which they won against Barcelona. The defender also lifted the U-20 Carioca Championship trophy for Mais Querido, but was not among the squad for the World Cup .
Now in Athletic 's professional squad, Felipe is already training under coach Rui Duarte, who now counts on the defender as an option to strengthen the defensive system in Serie B. The Minas Gerais club has the worst defense in the championship with 33 goals conceded.
In the 2024/25 season, Felipe started 15 matches for Flamengo's youth academy, totaling 721 minutes on the pitch. He didn't score any goals or provide any assists, but he received only four yellow cards and no red cards , demonstrating discipline. His main strengths are positioning, reading the game, aerial dominance, and defensive anticipation.
Mengão thrashed Vitória 8-0 last Monday (26) and the coach pointed to a break in dates as one of the reasons for the performance

The recent change in the Brazilian football calendar continues to generate controversy . Flamengo, which had weeks off after being eliminated from the Copa do Brasil, saw this plan compromised by the change made by the CBF . However, this Monday (25), Filipe Luís's team showed strength: they thrashed Vitória 8-0 at Maracanã, after four days of rest. For the coach, the break was decisive for the performance.
Filipe Luís on his break at Flamengo: "It will be demonstrated one day and it will change"
"The club has already taken a position, and I prefer not to comment on the matter (of changing the calendar). Players with four days of rest fly, and then after every three days they can't perform. This hasn't been proven yet; it will be proven one day, and it will change . I'm absolutely certain that, scientifically, they will demonstrate that a player needs four days to fully recover. It won't be this year," the coach stated.
Before facing Vitória, Flamengo had faced Internacional on Wednesday (20). Thus, the interval between the two commitments guaranteed a four-day recovery period , exactly what Filipe Luís defends as ideal for athletes to reach maximum performance.
Flamengo gave their opponent no chance . Just two minutes into the game, the scoreboard was already 2-0, with goals from Samuel Lino and Pedro. Later in the first half, Arrascaeta extended the lead. In the second half, Flamengo accelerated and built a historic rout: Pedro (twice), Lino, Luiz Araújo, and Bruno Henrique sealed the 8-0 victory.
After the result, fans are already planning their next match. Flamengo will have another four days of rest before facing Grêmio on Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), for the 22nd round of the Brasileirão. Mengão is the isolated leader of the competition with 46 points, four more than the second-placed Palmeiras.
