The Flamengo, under the leadership of president Rodolfo Landim, is moving to reinforce the team with an eye on the three competitions it will compete in until the end of 2024. At the same time, Landim is engaged in accelerating the acquisition process of Leixões , a Portuguese club, as part of the red-black brand's expansion strategy in the European market. Negotiations between the parties are already at an advanced stage and, in the next few days, the Board of Directors of Flamengo must forward the proposal for evaluation by the Deliberative Council, the last step before the deal is completed.
The initiative to acquire a club in Europe is nothing new among major Brazilian clubs, but it represents a bold move by Flamengo, which seeks to consolidate its international presence and strengthen its brand outside of Brazil. Leixões, a traditional club in Portugal, but with little expressiveness in recent years, appears as an investment opportunity for Flamengo, which sees the acquisition as a way to boost its youth categories and expand the range of partnerships and businesses in Europe.
Flamengo's interest in Leixões was revealed a few months ago, and since then, conversations have advanced significantly. The acquisition of a European club is part of a broader internationalization strategy for the Flamengo brand, which includes the opening of football schools and commercial partnerships on different continents. The objective is to transform Flamengo into a global brand, increasing its visibility and, consequently, its revenues.
However, the purchase of Leixões is not just a question of marketing. Flamengo's board sees the Portuguese club as a platform for player development and a strategic point for entry into the European transfer market. With Leixões under its control, Flamengo would have a direct gateway to the European market, being able to negotiate young talents directly with the main clubs in Europe, without intermediaries. Furthermore, Leixões could serve as an adaptation site for Brazilian players making the transition to European football, facilitating their acclimatization and increasing their chances of success.
The Leixões acquisition process is complex and involves several steps. Firstly, the Flamengo needs to obtain approval from the Deliberative Council, the body responsible for validating the club's most important decisions. The proposal is expected to be presented to the Council in the coming days, and the board is confident that the deal will be approved, given the potential for financial and sporting returns that the acquisition represents.
The teams play the first game of the quarterfinals at 7 p.m.
