Flamengo had an increase in its net debt in R$ 395 million during the year 2024. The explanation for this: expenses with the purchase of the stadium land and signing players. This is what an analysis of the red-black club's balance sheet up to September reveals.
Thenet debt (total liabilities minus cash receivable) was R$ 562 million. At the end of 2023, this value was R$167 million after the club reduced its historical debt by almost 90%. Considering the red and black revenue, net debt does not mean a club is in a financial crisis, as the value represents 0.4 of the annual revenue for 2023. It is a direction, however, very different from the rest of president Rodolfo Landim's administration . His priority has always been to preserve cash and keep the situation comfortable.
There are three reasons for the increase in debt: spending on signing players, purchasing land to build the stadium and the low value collected from athlete sales.
The purchase of the player De La Cruz and the acquisition of the land from Gasologista for the construction of the new stadium generated a brutal reduction in cash (available money). The land cost approximately R$147 million. The Uruguayan player had a cost of around R$90 million paid in cash.
At the end As of September, the club had only R$23.9 million in free cash (there was a supplementary amount of cash from incentivized projects). In 2023, Flamengo had ended the year with R$234.5 million in free cash. In other words, there was a reduction of R$210 million during the year. This has an impact on the calculation of net debt as it reduces assets.
In addition, the total investment in players reached R$ 273 million, according to Flamengo’s intangible assets record. In addition to De La Cruz, installments were signed for athletes such as Léo Ortiz, Viña, Alcaraz and Plata. The Argentinean was the most expensive: a total of R$125 million.
So, Flamengo has to pay a total of R$363.8 million in player acquisitions in coming years. This is the club's biggest debt. Of this total, R$207 million must be paid within a period of one year.
For effect For comparison, the club stands to receive R$145 million from the sale of players. Over a period of one year, you are entitled to receive R$114 million. The total difference is, therefore, R$218.7 million. The one-year period (short term) has a gap of R$93 million, which will have to be covered with extra revenue.
The striker is not in Filipe Luís's plans and must look for a new club; the 21-year-old midfielder chose Santos, despite interest from Corinthians.

Striker Michael will be the next to leave Flamengo, as he is no longer in coach Filipe Luís's plans. The board has released the player to listen to offers and negotiate a new team in the second half of the year. Brazilian football clubs have already begun inquiries about the player.
According to Flamengo's plan https://www.flamengo.com.br/ , the coaching staff sees no room for the striker in the current roster rotation. The departure is part of a series of market moves to reduce the number of players outside the coach's plans.

After spending most of the week out of field activities with his teammates, Jorginho returned to training this Saturday (30) and was included in the list of players involved in the game against Grêmio. The midfielder participated in the last activity before the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship and became an option for coach Filipe Luís. The player himself confirmed the call-up on his social networks, encouraging the Mais Querido fans.
Jorginho missed training from Wednesday to Friday due to muscle discomfort felt shortly after the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, last Monday (25). Despite the precaution, the quick physical recovery pleased the coaching staff.
If the defensive midfielder doesn't start, Allan and Everton Araújo will compete for the position alongside Saúl. In this scenario, Arrascaeta will remain as the main playmaker in the central attack. De La Cruz could also appear in the starting eleven.
Another open position is the left-back position. Alex Sandro, injured, is out of the match and will not play again this round. The spot will be between Ayrton Lucas and Viña. The Uruguayan was considered earlier in the week as an immediate option after the starter's departure, but the decision will only be made shortly before the match.
After the biggest victory in the history of the points system, beating Vitória 8-0, Flamengo returns to Maracanã this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
A significant reduction in payroll following the departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran helps Mais Querido maintain financial stability.

Flamengo will see a monthly reduction of approximately R$1 million in its payroll costs . This reduction was achieved following the recent departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran , three young players who had lost their place in the main squad.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the measure contributes to the financial stability of the club , which seeks balance amid recent high investments.
The decision is part of a larger board strategy aimed at restructuring the payroll, which had been steadily growing. The expectation is that the savings will not only preserve the budget but also create room for potential signings in strategic positions, without compromising the sporting quality.
One of the points under review at the club involves Michael's situation . The striker, who recently returned to Flamengo , has a monthly fee similar to that of the three youngsters combined. Although an official decision has not yet been made, the possibility of negotiation has not been ruled out.
After achieving the biggest victory in the points era, beating Vitória 8-0, the isolated leader of the Brasileirão returns to the field this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the competition.
