On Thursday, during the last day of the transfer window, Internacional signed Thiago Maia. The agreement was made through a loan valid until the end of 2024. Flamengo and Lille resolved the issues related to the division of economic rights, thus allowing the transfer of the steering wheel to Beira-Rio. Furthermore, the club from Rio Grande do Sul has already started announcing the signing at the end of the afternoon.


The midfielder is Internacional's tenth reinforcement and signed a three-year contract, valid until December 2026. The club has the terms agreed to acquire 50% of the player's rights for 4 million euros (R$ 21.6 million), at any time during the contract. The steering wheel has already been regularized in the CBF Daily Newsletter.




AGREEMENT BETWEEN FLAMENGO X LILLE

THE < a href="https://gazetadourubu.com/noticia/atencao-meio-campista-de-destaque-no-radar-do-flamengo-para-supir-ausencia-de-gerson" target="_blank">Flamengo< /a> will receive 2.85 million euros (R$ 15.4 million) and will maintain 25% of the economic rights. Lille will take 1.15 million euros (R$ 6.2 million) and will have the same percentage as the Red and Blacks.


Inter and Thiago Maia had an agreement in place since January. Eduardo Coudet's insistence and the project presented by the football department were decisive in the athlete's decision to exchange Rio de Janeiro for Rio Grande do Sul.

Outside of coach Tite's plans, the athlete carries out activities separately from the Flamengo squad about a month ago. Exercising in the gym and warming up on the field were the moments he still shared with his former teammates. Reports on the crow's nest reveal a high level of professionalism.

Flamengo's Deliberative Council approved, this Tuesday (19), the master sponsorship contract with Betano , one of the global leaders in sports betting. The link will begin on August 20, 2025 and will remain valid until December 31, 2028 , guaranteeing the club R$268 million per season. The agreement is considered the largest ever signed in national football.


The partnership includes brand exposure on the uniforms of the professional team and also on Olympic sports such as volleyball, basketball, and women's soccer. Additionally, the company will be featured on Flamengo TV content, expanding commercial integration and global visibility. The board emphasizes that the agreement is not limited to financial support, but opens doors to new business opportunities.


AGREEMENT PUTS FLAMENGO AT 'OTO' LEVEL


With values comparable to those of European football giants, the contract brings Flamengo closer to clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, and Barcelona. For comparison, Flamengo's partnership surpasses sponsorships from clubs like Ajax, whose partnership with Ziggo generates only €8 million (approximately R$51 million) per year. This amount places the Brazilian team in 10th place in the world rankings for largest sponsorship deals.

PRESIDENT WILL PARTICIPATE IN LIVE


This Wednesday (20), at 8:30 am, president Luiz Eduardo Baptista , known as Bap, will be live on Flamengo TV alongside Guilherme Augusto Figueiredo, General Director of Betano Brasil. The conversation will be led by João Guilherme and will cover the details of the negotiation considered historic.

Striker Juninho traveled with the Flamengo squad to Porto Alegre, where the team faces Internacional this Wednesday (20) , for the decisive clash of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. However, the player's use is not yet confirmed . Out of the last match against Colorado for the Brazilian Championship, the center forward lost space in recent weeks and was not related in three consecutive games, including the first leg duel at Maracanã.


Internally, the club's board is evaluating the athlete's future, as he has received inquiries from Saudi Arabian football clubs, with loan proposals rejected by the club. Previously, Juninho was close to a move to Sevilla earlier this year.


Negotiations, however, were halted after coach Filipe Luís intervened, contacting the striker to convince him to join Mengão's project. The investment was substantial: R$37.2 million to acquire the number 23, who currently has no place on the team.


JUNE NUMBERS IN 2025

In 2025, Juninho played 22 matches for Flamengo , scoring just three goals and providing no assists. He played 726 minutes that season, almost always sporadically used by Filipe Luís. In the Carioca Championship, he appeared in eight matches and scored two goals.


He has already played six times in the Brasileirão, without finding the net. In the Libertadores, he played four games and scored one goal , while in the national cups and the Club World Cup, he failed to stand out.
