Flamengo once again demonstrated this week why it is considered one of the most structured clubs on the continent . Thanks to its financial management and firm approach to negotiations, Flamengo became the only team to receive full payment from Corinthians in 2024 .
The São Paulo club is facing a severe economic crisis and, to date, is in debt to all the clubs involved in its signings . This year alone, Timão has invested approximately R$172 million in 18 new signings, but has not yet been able to honor most of its commitments.
The situation was different with Flamengo, which established strict requirements for the release of its players. In the case of Matheuzinho, sold for R$21.48 million , the Rio de Janeiro club accepted an installment plan but demanded guarantees of payment.
Even so, Corinthians delayed the third installment and only paid off the outstanding amount in August, after Brax, the guarantor of the deal, assumed the obligation and subsequently transferred the funds to the Rubro-Negro. In the negotiations for Hugo Souza, Flamengo was even more categorical: they would only release the goalkeeper upon payment in full , which ultimately avoided major problems.
With these agreements, Flamengo became the only team not to suffer a default from Corinthians. The payment for Matheuzinho was only completed last month , even though the agreement was signed in February 2024. In early August, the remaining R$14 million finally reached the club's coffers.
With the issues resolved off the field, Flamengo and Corinthians now meet on the pitch . The duel, valid for the Brasileirão, takes place this Sunday (28), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, in São Paulo.
Mengão managed to block a R$77 million transfer from the league's contract with Globo in court, and clubs joined the movement initiated by the green and white team.

The controversy surrounding the division of Libra's TV resources has gained new chapters. After Palmeiras spoke out against the injunction obtained by Flamengo in the Rio de Janeiro Court of Justice, other clubs in the bloc: São Paulo, Santos, Atlético-MG, and Red Bull Bragantino, also released statements condemning the club's stance.
Flamengo's decision suspended the payment of R$77 million relating to one of the installments of the Brasileirão pay-per-view contract with TV Globo , funds that would be distributed among the other members of Libra.
In a statement released on Friday (26), the club argued that its right to veto was not respected and classified Libra's decision to impose the division criteria as "illegal". Flamengo claims to have attempted an amicable solution before resorting to the courts and justified the action as necessary to avoid losses.
"Flamengo reaffirms that its fight is for its representation to be respected, for Libra's decisions to be made within the rules set out in the Statute and the Law , and for the history and value of each club to be recognized for their merits, in a fair and balanced manner," says the official statement.
Libra also issued a statement condemning Flamengo's "unilateral and sudden decision." The organization emphasized that the measure "erodes the group's harmony" and noted that the distribution model had been discussed and democratically approved by members . With the case now in court, the R$77 million remains frozen until a new court ruling.
Flamengo's youngster makes a great play and contributes to the Merengues' goal, but the Colchoneros manage to turn the game around with a big score in La Liga.

Real Madrid is no longer 100% in LaLiga. This Saturday (27), the merengue team was defeated by Atlético de Madrid 5-2, in a classic full of emotion , two comebacks and an inspired night by Julián Álvarez, the absolute highlight of the duel.

Real Madrid reacted quickly and equalized in the 25th minute, with a play by Güler, who passed to Mbappé to score. Shortly after, it was the Turkish midfielder's turn to find the net, after a great individual play by Vini Jr. , turning the game around .
Atlético, however, remained undeterred. Sorloth leveled the score in the first half. And early in the second half, the decisive turnaround came when Güler conceded a penalty on Nico González, which Álvarez converted . The Argentine then extended the lead with a perfect free kick, making it 4-2.
In stoppage time, Griezmann came off the bench and closed the account, ending a drought of more than 20 games without scoring and giving final numbers to the colchonera victory .

Goalkeeper, a product of Mengão, is one of the highlights of Eintracht Frankfurt and was sought after by the Red Devils, who have a problem in the position

The European transfer window has been closed since early August, but Flamengo almost saw another former player play in the Premier League . Manchester United made an official offer for goalkeeper Kauã Santos , but it was unsuccessful.
According to the German newspaper Bild Sport, the English club was turned down by Eintracht Frankfurt , who set a price of 25 million euros (approximately R$156.3 million) to release the player . As the request was considered high, the English club abandoned the deal and opted to sign Belgian Senne Lammens, formerly of Royal Antwerp.
The goalkeeper position has been one of Manchester United's biggest challenges. After David de Gea's decline in performance, the Red Devils invested heavily in the position, with the most notable signing being André Onana , but they never managed to secure the expected return from the Cameroonian.
Kauã Santos left Flamengo in August 2023, when he was sold to Frankfurt for €1.6 million (approximately R$8.4 million at the time) in a deal that involved 70% of his economic rights. Flamengo still holds 30% and could profit from a future transfer.
While following the movements in the European market from afar, Flamengo remains focused on its commitments for the season. The team returns to the field this Sunday (28), against Corinthians, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Neo Química Arena, for the Brazilian Championship.
