Flamengo, one of the most traditional and successful clubs in Brazilian football, continues to prosper not only in its achievements on the field, but also behind the scenes financially. Ending the year 2023 with record revenue, totaling an impressive R$251.9 million in the previous season alone, the Rio club has already surpassed the R$1 billion mark during the current administration. This amount includes sales, loans, solidarity mechanisms and bonuses stipulated in contracts for its young talents since 2019.
In an interview with FlaTV, Flamengo's official YouTube channel, the youth vice-president and women's football, Vitor Zanelli, shared his perspectives while highlighting the club's record achievements in the youth categories. In 2022 and 2023, Flamengo accumulated 44 titles each year, a remarkable feat that reflects the commitment and excellence in training young talents. The under-20 team, for example, boasts the title of Brazilian champion and is preparing to compete in the Libertadores category in 2024.
THE BASE COMES STRONG
Currently, one of the jewels of Flamengo's youth team is attacking midfielder Lorran, just 17 years old, whose performance has aroused interest from European clubs. His rise is marked by the feat of becoming the youngest player in the club's history to score a goal for the first team. With a contract in force until the end of 2025, Lorran has a release clause set at 50 million euros (equivalent to R$268.3 million), reflecting the value and potential that the club attributes to his talent.
In his words, Zanelli expressed optimism regarding the club's financial future, highlighting the relevance of the red and black base on the world stage and the success of sales of players trained in the youth categories. With management focused on training and valuing talent, Flamengo demonstrates its ability to generate substantial revenue and remain a powerhouse both on the field and in business.
