O Flamengo expects to start 2025 with just R$3.1 million in cash. The club estimates a deficit of R$155 million related to the difference between payments and receipts for athlete transfers. This scenario reflects the urgent need for strategic sales to rebalance finances.


Revenue from player transfers in 2024 was below expectations. Despite advanced negotiations with Wesley and other names, changes in planning prevented the completion of some agreements, such as the sale of the full-back to Atalanta for 20 million euros.


SALES: WESLEY AMONG OTHER PLAYERS


Wesley remains one of the main revenue hopes for Flamengo . Atalanta, which almost closed a deal in the middle of the year, could return with a new proposal, as could other European clubs that are monitoring the player. In addition to Wesley, young players like Lorran and Matheus Gonçalves are also in the market for sales. With little space in the first team, Lorran should attract offers, while Matheus Gonçalves, who has gained prominence in recent games, could be a valued name on the market .

ELECTION AND ITS DEVELOPMENTS 


The elections on December 9th will be an important milestone for the club. Regardless of who takes over as director, a commitment to significant sales will be essential to balance the books and maintain competitiveness in 2025. The next management will need to adopt strategies to maximize the value of player sales, in addition to seeking new sources of revenue, such as commercial partnerships and increased ticket sales.

With the end of 2024, Flamengo needs to evaluate its squad and identify key pieces for maintenance and renewal. The sale of athletes will be crucial to make room for new signings. In addition to sales, the club is already starting to map out possible reinforcements for 2025, prioritizing needy positions and players with interesting cost-benefit.

Flamengo made four signings in the last transfer window for Filipe Luís' squad: Saúl Ñíguez, Samuel Lino, Emerson Royal, and Jorge Carrascal . After the transfer window closed, journalist André Rizek of Grupo Globo assessed the signings and noted that some players still need to adapt to meet the Rio de Janeiro club's expectations.


" I think the technical aspects of Jorginho, Saúl, and Samu Lino are impressive. I think Emerson Royal and Carrascal are a step below, and they're options to rotate the squad ," Rizek commented in a video posted on social media. According to him, while some new signings are already showing satisfactory performance, others are still adapting to the Mais Querido's style and rhythm.


INVESTMENTS MADE BY FLAMENGO


With Wesley's departure to Roma (ITA), Mengão went to the transfer market and signed Emerson Royal, formerly of Milan, for nine million euros (approximately R$57 million). Jorge Carrascal was acquired from Dynamo Moscow (RUS) for 12 million euros (approximately R$76 million). In total, the Rio de Janeiro club invested R$133 million in these two signings alone.

So far, Emerson Royal has played in five matches for Flamengo, without scoring or providing assists. Jorge Carrascal continues to adapt to the club 's routine and has yet to start, having appeared in three games so far.


FLAMENGO'S NEXT CHALLENGE

Flamengo's next match will be on September 14th, against Juventude, at 4 pm, at Alfredo Jaconi Stadium, in the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. New signings Emerson Royal and Jorge Carrascal will be available to coach Filipe Luís for the match.
