Flamengo concluded the sale of defender Fabrício Bruno to West Ham, from England, for 15 million euros (R$83.6 million at current prices). The transaction represents a profit of approximately 82% for the red-black club.
Fabrício Bruno was signed by Flamengo from Red Bull Bragantino in February 2022 for 15 million reais. In just over two years, Flamengo will be able to pocket R$68.3 million more than it initially spent.
The sale of Fabrício Bruno was six times greater than the amount paid for his signing. Furthermore, the defender was sold for a significantly higher price than defender Nino, formerly of Fluminense, who left the club for R$30 million in 2023.
Sports Performance
In addition to the financial gain, Flamengo also obtained a considerable sporting benefit with Fabrício Bruno. The player stood out as one of the key pieces of the team led by Tite, being the outfield player with the most minutes played in 2024 – a total of 2177 minutes. His solid performance contributed to Flamengo's good campaign in the competitions.
With the Guaranteed classification in the Copa do Brasil, Flamengo now turns its attention to the Copa Libertadores da América. The Rio team will face Millonarios (COL) next Tuesday (28), at 9pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã. This match is crucial, qualifying for a place in the round of 16 and the leadership of Group E.

This Wednesday (26), the Flamengo will take to the field against Juventude at 8pm, at Alfredo Jaconi, for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship. The clash promises to be challenging not only due to the opponent, but also due to the adverse weather conditions predicted for the day of the game. According to the website "Clima Tempo", the weather forecast for Wednesday indicates heavy rain throughout the day in Caxias do Sul. The probability of precipitation is high, with an 86% chance, and an accumulated rainfall of 30mm. Temperatures will be between 10°C and 13°C, adding an extra challenge for the teams on the field.
Flamengo has already faced similar situations in Caxias do Sul. The region's climate can be a decisive factor, influencing not only the state of the pitch, but also the dynamics of the game. In the last matches held at Alfredo Jaconi, the weather conditions were not favorable for the Rio team, which needs to prepare for a heavy and possibly slippery game scenario.
FLAMENGO GOES AFTER VICTORY
Preparation for this game should also consider recent weather events in the region. Last Monday (24), it rained hail in Bento Gonçalves, a city close to Caxias do Sul, in Serra Gaúcha. This phenomenon highlights the climate instability that can directly affect team performance and player safety.
For Flamengo, playing in adverse conditions can be a significant test for the team. Heavy rain can make it difficult to move the ball and execute the strategies planned by the coach. Furthermore, the low temperature can influence the physical resistance of players, especially those less accustomed to the colder climate in the south of the country.
The defender is seen as one of the strengths of the red and black squad in terms of "leadership" behind the scenes

David Luiz has been an important player for the Flamengo, standing out both for its technical performance and physical resistance. The 37-year-old defender started Rubro-Negro's last six games, demonstrating enviable consistency. In five of those matches, he remained on the field from start to finish, only being substituted in the last duel against Fluminense due to knee pain.
The veteran defender has shown that he still has a lot to offer Flamengo. His presence on the field goes beyond simple defensive performance; David Luiz contributes significantly to the construction of plays and has even found the back of the opponent's net. The experience acquired throughout his international career has been reflected in the security he transmits to the red and black defense.
A STRONG RISE IN THE LAST SEASON
In recent games, David Luiz not only did well his role in the defense as well as taking on the responsibility of leading the team. His vision of the game and ability to organize the defensive line have been fundamental for Flamengo to maintain defensive consistency. Furthermore, his competitive spirit and determination are clear examples of professionalism for younger players.
Despite his age, David Luiz has demonstrated impressive physical shape. Participating in five complete games in a short period requires exemplary physical preparation. Even in the duel against Fluminense, where he needed to be replaced, the defender showed willingness and commitment until the moment the pain in his knee became unbearable.

Flamengo took the lead in the Brazilian Championship after beating Bahia 2-1, in a match held on Thursday night (20), at Maracanã. The red-black team's goals were scored by Gerson and David Luiz, taking Tite's team to 21 points, one more than Botafogo, now second-place. Despite the triumph, the game brought some challenges for Flamengo.
Flamengo faces a series of absences, but will have an important return for the next match. Fabrício Bruno, who was suspended against Bahia, is available again and can reinforce the team in the classic against Fluminense. Coach Tite, who had been using four defenders as starters due to their absences, will now have to make strategic decisions with the return of Ayrton Lucas and Allan.
With the return of Fabrício Bruno and other players, Tite will need to define the starting defense duo for the match against Fluminense. Tactical flexibility and squad management will be crucial for the coach, especially considering the recent challenges faced by the team.
Flamengo returns to the field next Sunday (23/06), at 4pm, at Maracanã, to play the classic against Fluminense in the 11th round of the Brazilian Championship. Tite's team will seek to maintain their leadership in the tournament and overcome the challenges posed by recent absences and the need for tactical adjustments.
