FLAXFLU: FLAMENGO DEFINE PLANNING FOR BRAZILIAN CUP DECISION

With the European transfer window open until the end of this month, clubs are racing against time to find new reinforcements. Thus, the creation ofFlamengo, André Luiz, is one of the desired names. Estrela Amadora, from Portugal, the team that holds the player's rights, has already set a sale price, and Mais Querido could also make a profit.

According to information from the Portuguese newspaper 'A Bola', Braga (POR), Vitória de Guimarães (POR) and the Rio Ave (POR) have already started negotiations with Estrela Amadora to try to sign André Luiz. Thus, the team that holds the striker's rights demands 3 million euros (R$ 18.7 million).

VALUE THAT FLAMENGO CAN RECEIVE

The Mais Querido won André Luiz to Estrela Amadora for 500 thousand euros (R$ 2.87 million) for 60% of the player's economic rights. Thus, Rubro-Negro kept 32% of this amount. Thus, if the young man is sold for R$18.7 million, Flamengo would receive R$5.98 million.

PASSING THROUGH FLAMENGO

André Luiz stood out at América-RJ, but was bought by Flamengo in 2020 to play for the under-20 team. The following year, the player had his first opportunity with the main team, before returning to the base. In 2023, Mais Querido traded the young man on loan and, in 2024, sold him to Estrela Amadora.

In the current season , André Luiz played 13 games, seven as a starter. In this way, the striker scored two goals and provided two assists to his teammates. The young man has a contract with Estrela Amadora until June 2028.

Flamengodivided the squad again at the start of the season. Thus, while the main team players carry out pre-season in the United States, the other athletes begin the club's journey in Carioca. In a press conference this past Tuesday (14),Evertton Araújo sent a message to the alternative team.

"Last year (2024) I was at Carioca, and today I'm here. Very happy to be doing my first pre-season here in the USA. I wish strength to the boys there at Carioca, they lost the first game, but The beginning of the season is like this. We are giving positive energy. I hope this season is very good. Anyone who can give me things to help me grow, I will listen", declared Evertton Araújo.

PREMIERE IN CARIOCA

While the main team continues its preparation in the United States, the Garotos do Ninhoare part of the alternative squad in the Campeonato Carioca. In addition to the young players, the alternative team also has some players who were part of the main squad, including Cleiton, Carlinhos, Dyogo Alves, Lorran and Pablo.

Rubro-Negro debuted at Carioca with a defeat. Last Sunday (12), Mais Querido facedBoavistaand was defeated by a score of 2-1, in Aracajú, Sergipe. Thus,Flamengo suffered defeat at the beginning of the State Championship.

MAIN CAST b>

The main cast will officially debut only on January 19th, when they face the São Pauloin a friendly game for the FC Series. However, in Carioca, the professional team will only enter the field for the first time in 2025 on the 25th, againstVolta Redonda.

The Deliberative Council of Flamengo voted and approved, this Tuesday, Shopee's new sponsorship. The Singaporean brand will print the sleeves of the shirts of the men's and women's football teams, as well as the basketball team. The sponsorship will yield R$ 12 million fixed to Flamengo. Payment will be made in three installments of R$4 million (February, April and July). There is still a variable value. That's 5% of sales in the Shopee affiliate program.

Thebrand will be on the sleeves of the game, training and warm-up shirt of the men's and women's football teams. In basketball, it is in front of the game, training and warm-up shorts. In terms of comparison, Kwai paid R$10 million for the same space in the 2024 season. The contract with Shopee will be until December 31, 2025.

On the back, Flamengo will not immediately fill the gap left by Mercado Livre. A test will be carried out with the FlaBet exhibition for a period of three months. The idea is to leverage the number of bets and earn more royalties, as you receive 1% of the gross value of bets.
