Flamengo and Giorgian De Arrascaeta are close to formalizing a new contract. Negotiations resumed in recent weeks and are expected to advance during the FIFA World Cup break. The agreement provides for a contract until December 2028 , with an automatic extension until 2029 if the player meets performance targets set by the parties.
The number 10 currently has a contract with the club until the end of 2026, but he has already expressed his desire to stay longer. Initially, the board didn't see any urgency in bringing forward the talks , but the Uruguayan's prominence this season led Flamengo to prioritize the renewal.
Negotiations began in February, were halted in May, and are now in their final stages. Executive director José Boto and businessman Daniel Fonseca, a former Uruguayan national team player , are leading the talks.
After a rocky start, when negotiations were postponed until 2025, there is now agreement and optimism between the parties. New meetings are expected to take place next week in Rio de Janeiro to finalize the contract details.
So far, Arrascaeta has 19 goals and 13 assists in 48 appearances for Flamengo in 2025 , numbers that confirm his role as one of the squad's key players. In 2019, the year of his debut with the club, he was directly involved in 37 goals (18 scored and 19 assists).
The first leg between the teams will take place at Maracanã on October 22, with exclusive tickets for fan club members and the general public.

Agustín Rossi remains one of the main figures in Flamengo's squad, but talks about a contract renewal are only expected to take place in 2026. The Flamengo board decided to postpone the negotiations, as the goalkeeper's current contract is valid until December 2027 , allowing for more relaxed planning for both parties.
Meanwhile, the Rio de Janeiro club has supported the athlete's naturalization process, as he seeks Brazilian citizenship. The board believes this step could make Rossi's personal life easier and contribute to roster planning , especially regarding the number of foreign players available.
At 30 years old, Rossi is considered a key player in Filipe Luís's team. In recent weeks, the Argentine goalkeeper has had standout performances, saving three penalties in Libertadores and Brasileirão matches. His performances have reinforced the confidence of the coach and the fans, solidifying him as one of the team's leaders.
Even though Flamengo is in no rush to renew, it is already planning to offer a salary increase and extend the contract until 2028. Internally, the good relationship between the player and the club is seen as essential for a future agreement without major impasses.
Flamengo will return to action on October 15th, after the FIFA World Cup break, in a derby against Botafogo in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match is scheduled for 7:30 pm (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium. The squad will have Monday off before resuming training.

The Gazeta do Urubu website spoke with a source close to Flamengo about rumors that negotiations for Filipe Luís's contract renewal have been halted following the team's recent results. The response, however, was blunt: " No. His renewal is very advanced, close to completion ."
The coach's contract is expected to be extended until the end of 2027 , reinforcing the board's confidence in his work. Furthermore, the former player will receive a significant salary increase, as his salary is still that of an 'interim coach.'
Since taking over as Flamengo 's coach, Filipe Luís has already won three important titles: the Copa do Brasil in 2024, as well as the Supercopa do Brasil and the Campeonato Carioca in 2025. Rubro-Negro is also still in the fight for more trophies this season , leading the Brasileirão for a good part of it and qualified for the Libertadores semi-finals.
One of Filipe Luís's most memorable moments was the victory over Corinthians in the 2024 Copa do Brasil, when he managed to reorganize the team after a player was sent off in the first half , guaranteeing qualification with precise adjustments in defense.
Flamengo will not return to action until October 15th, after the FIFA World Cup break, when they will face Botafogo in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. The derby is scheduled for 7:30 pm (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium, known as Engenhão. The squad is expected to have Monday off before returning to training.
