Fabrício Bruno: In the sights of Rennes (France), the defender is rated at around 15 million euros.
Lorran: Target of European giants such as Manchester United and Chelsea, the young man is seen as potential for a big sale.
Allan: With few opportunities at the club, he was considered at Pumas (Mexico).
PROFIT GOAL: R$ 191 MILLION IN SALES
O Flamengo plans to raise R$ 191 million (30 million euros) with the sale of players in 2025. If negotiations for athletes like Wesley and Fabrício Bruno materialize, the goal will be achieved more easily.
ELECTION INFLUENCES DECISIONS

With a robust squad and the expectation of specific adjustments, Flamengo seeks to balance its technical strength with financial responsibility to maintain competitiveness in 2025.
