What Flamengo is planning to focus on renewing the contracts of three of its main players after the transfer window closes. Pedro, Gerson and Erick Pulgar are fundamental pieces of the red and black squad, and the club wants to guarantee their stay for longer, offering new contractual terms that reflect their importance within the team.


In the case of Pedro , the striker received a proposal from Nottingham Forest during the window, but Flamengo chose not to accept the offer. The decision reflects the club's position of not wanting to trade the player at this time, as he is seen as a strategic asset for the season. Pedro, who has been top scorer in several competitions, is a central piece in Flamengo's attack, and his departure would create a gap that would be difficult to fill. To ensure their permanence and motivation, Flamengo plans to discuss a salary increase that is in line with their contributions and future expectations.


 A NEW DIRECTION FOR EVALUATION 


< Gerson, another key player in the squad, is also in the spotlight for a renewal. The midfielder returned to Flamengo in 2023, after a spell in European football, and quickly resumed his prominent role in the team. Renewing his contract is seen as a priority by the club, which wants to keep its central structure intact. Gerson is known for his versatility and ability to control in midfield, and the board understands that keeping him in the squad is essential for long-term plans. Like Pedro, Gerson should receive a salary increase proposal that reflects his value to the team and his growth prospects within the club.

Erick Pulgar, in turn, has a slightly different situation. The Chilean midfielder, who arrived at Flamengo in 2022, has a contract in force until December 2025. At the beginning of 2024, the club began discussing a possible renewal with Pulgar, but the conversations ended up cooling down as the months went by. Now, with the transfer window closing, Flamengo intends to resume these negotiations with more intensity. Pulgar is seen as an important piece in the team's defensive scheme, offering stability and protection to the defense. The club's idea is to guarantee its continuity, preventing possible harassment from other clubs in the future.
