Flamengo under Landim management has values ​​"open" to the public - Check

Since Rodolfo Landim assumed the presidency of Flamengo, the club has been going through a phase of major investment, reflecting its ambition to remain competitive both on the national and international scene. Surveying the amounts invested by Flamengo in signings in recent years brings to light an interesting panorama of how the club has managed its resources, oscillating between periods of more restrained spending and years of massive investment in reinforcements. This financial management includes not only the acquisition of players' economic rights, but also expenses with gloves and intermediation, which are important to understand the complete scenario.

The year 2019 marked the beginning of the Rodolfo Landim administration, and with he came a true revolution in Flamengo's investments in football. That year, the club spent a total of R$360.96 million on signings. This robust investment reflected the need to reformulate the squad to make it competitive on several fronts, as Flamengo competed in high-level competitions such as the Copa Libertadores da América, the Campeonato Brasileiro and the Copa do Brasil.

A LEGACY TO BE LEAVED IN THE MOST FAVORITE

Among the most notable signings of 2019, players such as striker Gabriel Barbosa (Gabigol) stand out, who arrived on loan from Inter from Milan before being signed permanently, and Spanish defender Pablo Marí, who became a fundamental piece in the defensive system of the team led by Jorge Jesus. Flamengo also brought internationally renowned players, such as Uruguayan midfielder Giorgian De Arrascaeta, who stood out at Cruzeiro and was one of the club's biggest investments that year. These movements in the market brought immediate results, culminating in the conquests of the Libertadores and Brasileirão.

In 2020, the world of football was impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, and Flamengowas no exception. The club drastically reduced its investments in signings, recording a total of R$227.443 million spent throughout the year. Even with the decrease in spending compared to 2019, Flamengo still managed to maintain a competitive squad and continued fighting for titles, although it did not repeat the success of 2019. 

Part of the drop in investments can be attributed to the economic uncertainty caused by the pandemic, with a reduction in the club's revenues, mainly due to the absence of audiences in the stadiums and the decrease in marketing revenues. Even so, Flamengo made some specific moves in the market, seeking to maintain the quality of the squad without compromising its finances too much.
