Flamengo will receive millionaire value from CBF due to Pedro's injury

The dispute between Internacional and Flamengo over Thiago Maia's debt has entered a new chapter. According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the Rio Grande do Sul club suffered another defeat at the National Chamber for Dispute Resolution (CNRD) , after having its "request for clarification" denied.

According to Venê Casagrande, Colorado still has the option of appealing to the Arbitration Chamber . However, this procedure is often costly and, in most cases, does not change decisions already made by the CNRD. Therefore, Flamengo is closely monitoring the case's developments and hopes to receive the amounts owed directly from Internacional.

The decision requires Internacional to pay €1,472,588.33 (approximately R$9 million at the current exchange rate) for the breach of contract involving Thiago Maia. In addition, the Rio Grande do Sul club must pay R$51,211.99 in legal costs.

NEGOTIATION WITH SANTOS

Back in 2025, during a transfer window, Santos tried to sign Thiago Maia . However, the deal ended up not moving forward precisely because of this legal dispute between Internacional and Flamengo .

ABOUT THAT...

While the board moves behind the scenes, Flamengo focuses its efforts on the next matches of the 2025 season. In the 23rd round of the Brasileirão Betano Série A, the Rio de Janeiro team faces Juventude this Sunday (14), at the Alfredo Jaconi Stadium . Soon after, Mengão faces Estudiantes in the Libertadores, on the 18th.

After a turbulent start to the season, Boto decided to reduce external communication and focus on internal results. The Flamengo director, who initially spoke openly to the press, both after matches and through digital channels, decided to change his stance after successive leaks of important information .

At the request of president Luiz Eduardo Baptista (Bap) after a long meeting, Boto stopped any direct contact with major media outlets , starting to work more privately behind the scenes at the club.

The change in approach was accompanied by results . After a positive transfer window, in which he sought to fulfill coach Filipe Luís's main requests, the manager also managed to calm internal friction. Players like Arrascaeta , De La Cruz, and Pedro, who previously had a distant relationship with Boto, now have a more fluid and relaxed dialogue.

NEGOTIATIONS AND RENEWALS

Currently, Boto continues working on specific renewals, such as those of Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta. He also participated in sales negotiations for promising young players from the youth academy , such as Matheus Gonçalves and Lorran, reinforcing the strategic and quiet approach of his management.
