The Flamengo will finally separate the sponsorship contracts Flamengo and BRB signed a three-year contract in 2020 that provided the red-black brand for the creation of the virtual bank Nação BRB Fla. The partnership provided that Flamengo would receive at least R$32 million annually, plus 50% of Nação BRB's profit that exceeded this amount. Despite the success of the partnership, with the opening of more than 3 million accounts, this amount was never exceeded and Flamengo only received the fixed amount. Although officially it was not a sponsorship contract, the agreement also provided for the display of the BRB brand on the chest of Flamengo's shirt, in addition to other prerogatives granted to the so-called “master sponsor”.
At the beginning of 2023, Flamengo and BRB obtained authorization from the Central Bank to create a new bank, which would separate Nação BRB Fla from BRB. Flamengo's intention is to profit from the sale of its stake in this bank. Thus, when it renewed for the first time with BRB, in the middle of last year, the contract was for just six months on the grounds that the shorter partnership would be to finalize the separation of sponsorship and partnership contracts. However, the negotiations were not concluded and the Deliberative Council voted at the beginning of this year for a new renewal of the joint contract, but now for three months.
The difference is that, with Pixbet's superior proposal for the master sponsorship, the BRB sponsorship was moved to the shoulders of the shirt. The new sponsorship contract keeps the BRB brand on its shoulders until December 2025. MRN was unable to confirm the values, but Flamengo Marketing's target for the property is R$25 million annually – BRB has already paid R$6 .2 million for the contract until March.
The contract for the establishment of the Nação BRB Fla bank has a longer period, the definition of which is still one of the points that led to the contract not being signed. A third contract regulates Flamengo's use of BRB banking services. Since 2020, the club has maintained an account with BRB and is obliged to give preference to the bank when seeking loans. Although the club currently does not have any bank loans, the situation could soon change if it decides to finance the construction of its stadium on its own.

Flamengo has already begun planning for next season and confirmed that Matheus Cunha, Pablo, and Cleiton will not have their contracts renewed . All three will leave the club at the end of their contracts. Other names are also on the list of possible departures. Everton Cebolinha, Michael, and Juninho are considered negotiable. The number 11, for example, is attracting interest from Grêmio for 2026.
Another case in question is defensive midfielder Allan. Coach Filipe Luís has prioritized other midfield options, and the player is open to a potential return to Atlético-MG , where he could re-team with Jorge Sampaoli. This information was released by journalist Guilherme Frossard, who covers the Galo news team.
With the transfer window in Brazil closed, any transfer activity will only be possible starting in January . Atlético-MG is closely monitoring the situation and is expected to consider a move. In 2023, Flamengo spent approximately R$43 million to sign Allan from Galo, at the request of Sampaoli, then the club's coach.
At the Rio de Janeiro club, however, Allan didn't replicate his performance in Belo Horizonte. Today, the defensive midfielder occupies a secondary position in Filipe Luís's squad . In the last round of the Brasileirão, Betano faced Grêmio, he sat on the bench for the entire match.
Even with the full focus on winning the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão, the board is already working toward 2026. The goal is to reduce the payroll by selling reserves and making room for a major signing in January , under the command of José Boto. Another unresolved issue is the retention of coach Filipe Luís. His current contract expires in December, and the club's first offer was rejected. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

Full-back Jorge, the new signing for Remo under executive director Marcos Braz , is experiencing a comeback in football. Discovered by Flamengo, he achieved national and international prominence, playing for clubs such as Palmeiras, Santos, Fluminense, and even in Europe , playing for Monaco, Porto, and Basel.
In France, with Monaco, Jorge won a French Championship title. Returning to Brazil in 2023, he signed with Fluminense, but suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee , which sidelined him for a long period. He later played for CRB, but played few games, with his last official match taking place on September 15, 2024.
At the press conference held last week, Jorge stated that he was physically recovered and available to coach António Oliveira: “ I am feeling very well physically , clinically too, that is the most important thing, after a very serious injury that I had at Fluminense… Today I feel good.”
Jorge, ex-Flamengo, reveals the reason for his career break: "I wanted to breathe a little"
Jorge revealed that he chose to take some time away from football to reflect and distance himself from stressful environments: “ When I arrived in Rio, after this contract I had at CRB , I decided that I wanted to breathe a little, get away from some environments through football, because I really went through a lot of things that only God knows.”
With extensive national and international experience, Jorge was also called up to the Brazilian national team in 2017 , playing a friendly against Colombia at Botafogo's Nilton Santos Stadium. The full-back arrives at Remo determined to regain his rhythm and contribute to the team.

Thiago Carpini after Flamengo's victory over Juventude: "The disparity is huge"
"Today we faced a Flamengo team that needs no comment. The disparity is huge, a team accustomed to shooting a lot and being imposing. We managed to limit their shots a bit, which shows that some of the combinations worked well ," said Carpini.
The coach also explained why he chose Nenê and Alan Ruschel as starters. According to him, the idea was to prioritize possession and exploit set pieces , but the plan didn't pan out, largely due to Flamengo 's own style of play.
"It was more of a coincidence than a strategy, playing at home. Nenê gives us support and rhythm, as well as the set pieces. Alan played well, as did Hermes . We have a group, and we'll choose the best options based on our daily routine," added the Juventude coach.
With the victory, Flamengo reached 50 points and maintained its four-point lead over Palmeiras at the top . Juventude remains in 18th place with 21 points, within the relegation zone. In the next round, Flamengo faces Vasco, while Juventude visits Mirassol in São Paulo.
