Pablo Marí's time at Flamengo was short, but extremely impactful —both on the field and in the club's finances. Even more than five years after his departure, the Spanish defender still generates revenue for the club .

According to Flamengo 's most recent financial statement, the club still owes approximately R$4 million for the defender's permanent transfer to Monza in Italy. This amount is part of one of the most lucrative deals in Gávea's recent history.

FROM BETTING TO THE CHAMPION PILLAR

Signed in 2019 from Grupo City for approximately R$5.5 million, Pablo Marí arrived as a gambler and quickly became a regular starter for Jorge Jesus' team. With his technical prowess, leadership, and defensive confidence, he was a key player in the team's Brasileirão and Libertadores victories that year . In 30 appearances for the Manto Sagrado, he scored three goals and left the club on a high note.

SALE TO ARSENAL AND PROFIT MULTIPLIED

His performance at Flamengo caught the attention of European football, and the defender was traded to Arsenal-ING in 2020 for €14 million . From there, he was loaned to Italian clubs like Udinese and Monza, until being bought outright by the Monza club in 2023.

Since Flamengo retained 40% of the player's economic rights, it received R$14.6 million from the sale . However, a portion of €680,000 (approximately R$4.35 million) is still outstanding and should bolster the club's cash flow in the coming months.

PRESENT IN FIORENTINA AND IN GOOD PHASE

In early 2025, Marí was traded again—this time to Fiorentina, at the direct request of coach Raffaele Palladino, who knew him well from Monza. With a contract until June 2026, the 31-year-old defender is a regular starter for the Florence team . On social media, Flamengo fans praised the board's decision to sign the defender, which continues to yield financial rewards even years after his departure.

Flamengo is very close to officially signing Jorge Carrascal . The deal with the Colombian midfielder is already finalized, but the announcement is pending the arrival of the final document signed by Dynamo Moscow , the club that holds the player's rights.

Carrascal was even at Maracanã last Thursday (31), during the match against Atlético-MG for the Copa do Brasil, but has not yet been officially presented. The reason is precisely the bureaucratic issue with the Russian club . The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande, who found that Flamengo expects to receive the final document this Friday (1).

DEAL DONE, TESTS DONE

The player is already in Rio de Janeiro, where he underwent routine medical examinations . Agreements have been reached with both Carrascal and Dynamo Moscow—all that remains is to formalize the transfer. The time difference with Russia is hindering the resolution of the situation.

Flamengo will pay 12 million euros (around R$77.5 million) to acquire the Colombian, who has been called by some fans the "Colombian Neymar" due to his technical and dribbling style.

LONG NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE RUSSIAN CLUB

Negotiations with Dynamo have been dragging on for weeks. Carrascal even wanted to be registered to play in the Club World Cup with Flamengo , as negotiations were already advanced. However, the Russian club resisted releasing the player quickly, which delayed the deal. Now, the only remaining step is Dynamo's final signature.

CARRASCAL: NUMBERS AND CAREER

Last season, Carrascal made 35 appearances for Dynamo Moscow, scoring eight goals and providing three assists . The 26-year-old also played for Millonarios (Colombia), Karpaty (Ukraine), River Plate (Argentina), and CSKA Moscow.

FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME

While finalizing the signing, Flamengo is preparing to face Ceará this Sunday (3), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Arena Castelão , for the 18th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be broadcast on SporTV (closed TV) and Premiere (pay-per-view).
