Defender Fabrício Bruno made a surprising decision that directly impacted the football market. Refusing a tempting salary offer from England's West Ham, he chose to continue wearing the Flamengo shirt. This choice not only keeps the player at the club, but also ends a deal that could yield 15 million euros (equivalent to R$84.3 million) to Rubro-Negro's coffers.
West Ham's proposal represented an amount considerable for the Flamengo, enough to exceed the sales revenue target established for the year 2024, which was R$114 million. The club had already accepted the offer, which meant that, with this amount, it would reach a total revenue of R$ 126 million even before the opening of the second transfer window.
FABÌCIO BRUNO'S REFUSAL MAKES FLAMENGO OPEN THE EYE
However, Fabrício Bruno's refusal puts the Flamengo is in a challenging position, as it still needs to raise R$72 million by trading players this season to meet its financial goals. With the improbability of receiving another proposal along the lines offered by West Ham, the club must look for alternatives, and the tendency is for these resources to come from the departure of players from the academy.
Thiago Maia was one of the first to leave the club at the beginning of the year, going to Internacional on loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the contract. This transfer has already yielded R$42 million to Flamengo's coffers. The expectation is that the definitive sale will be completed in the next transfer window.
Looking to the future, there are some young talents at Flamengo who could arouse the interest of international clubs and, consequently, generate attractive proposals. Among them is Lorran, who has stood out in the professional team and is often cited as a target for European teams. In addition to him, other names such as Victor Hugo, Wesley and Matheus Gonçalves could also be the target of speculation and proposals during the season. The success in negotiating these base players could be crucial for Flamengo to achieve its financial goals and maintain the club's economic stability.
