João Gomes, offspring of Ninho do Urubu, has stood out in Wolverhamptonand shown that the amount paid by the English club to Flamengowas low in relation to the impact of its performances. The midfielder, a fundamental piece in Vítor Pereira's scheme, is already attracting the interest of Premier League giants.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal in contention
According to the British newspaper The Sun, Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenalmonitor João Gomes and show interest in signing him. Although no official proposal has been presented so far, there is speculation that negotiations could advance in the European summer transfer window.
On the other hand, Wolverhampton does not intend to negotiate the player. The club understands that João Gomes is crucial to Vítor Pereira's scheme and is willing to make efforts to keep him in the squad.
Performance at Wolverhampton
João Gomes arrived at Wolverhampton in January 2023 and quickly established himself as absolute starter. This season, he participated in 21 matches, with two goals and two assists. The midfielder was starter in 19 of the 20 rounds of the Premier League, reinforcing his importance for the team.
Financial impact for Flamengo
In case of a new transfer, Flamengo should profit due to two factors:
FIFA solidarity mechanism: The athlete's training club is entitled to 5% of the valueof a future negotiation.
Percentage of sale: Flamengo maintains 10% of João Gomes' economic rights, which could yield significant values for Rubro-Negro.
Wolverhampton spent 18.7 million euros (approximately R$ 103 million at the time) to sign João Gomes. If it is sold for a higher amount, Flamengo can earn even more with its formation.
Trajectory at Flamengo
João Gomes wore the red-black shirt in 122 matches, scored four goals and won important titles: Brazilian Championship< /b>, Copa do Brasil, Libertadores, Supercopa do Brasil and two Campeonatos Cariocas.
After a short stint at Bahia and being dismissed for indiscipline, the 19-year-old right-back signs with São Paulo until 2028, with a million-dollar release clause.

Right-back Lucyan, a Libertadores and U-20 World Cup winner with Flamengo in 2024, is São Paulo's newest signing. The 19-year-old had been signed by Bahia in March of this year, after being released by Flamengo, but was released by the Bahian team in August due to disciplinary issues. As a result, Mengão lost the 30% stake it had in the initial negotiation.
Lucyan signed a contract with São Paulo until June 30, 2028, with a release clause set at €80 million, equivalent to R$506 million at the current exchange rate. The news about the signing and Flamengo 's loss of the percentage was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.
With no space at Flamengo, Lucyan signed a contract with Bahia until December 2027. Flamengo released the athlete without cost, keeping 30% of his economic rights, with an initial termination fee of 100 million euros (approximately R$600 million).
After Bahia released the full-back, the Rubro-Negro team lost its share of the contract. The Bahian team officially announced: " Esporte Clube Bahia SAF announces the release of right-back Lucyan . The U-20 player joined the club in March 2025 and played 16 matches for the Pivetes de Aço."
Lucyan was a starter for Flamengo in the final stretch of the 2024 Copa Libertadores, including the final against Boca Juniors (ARG). At the U-20 World Cup, he was a substitute in the victory over Olympiacos (GRE), coached by Filipe Luís . Born in Cuiabá, the full-back joined Mais Querido in the U-15 category and left the club earlier this year, leaving his mark on the history of recent achievements.

With the group considered strong, Flamengo's board now turns its attention to possible departures. At least three players could leave the club by the end of the window: Lorran, Michael, and Juninho. Lorran is in advanced talks with Pisa, Italy , in a negotiation that could involve a partial sale of his economic rights. Michael and Juninho have received inquiries but are awaiting concrete offers.
Flamengo makes it clear that it will only accept a permanent sale, ruling out loans. In Michael's case, the striker is dissatisfied and, according to reports, has been seeking alternatives in the Arab world for about a month through his representatives.
The board's official position is that there will be no major investments in 2025. Any reinforcements will only be analyzed as a market opportunity. At the same time, the scouting department is already focusing on the medium term and observing the international market. Defenders and goalkeepers are expected to be among the priorities for 2026, as part of a gradual roster renewal plan.
Flamengo shook up Brazilian football this summer by announcing high-profile signings. Players like Samu Lino, Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Carrascal, and Jorginho bolstered the squad . However, the search for a center forward ultimately fell through.
The board's idea was to bring in a striker with different characteristics than Pedro , but the number 9's good form, combined with the presence of Bruno Henrique , Wallace Yan and even Plata, who can play the role, made the board give up investing in the sector at this time.
Rubro-Negro's board is satisfied with the squad after major signings and will not make major investments in the 2025 season.

We've learned exclusively that Flamengo no longer plans to make major investments in its squad this season. The board considers the current roster sufficient for the current competitions , and if any new players arrive, they will only be due to a specific market opportunity.
The offensive sector was once a priority, as the committee was looking for a center forward with different characteristics than Pedro . However, with the number 9's return to form and the presence of options like Bruno Henrique, Wallace Yan, and even Plata filling the role , the need was no longer seen as a priority by Flamengo 's leadership.
The current transfer window was marked by a flurry of activity for Flamengo , which surprised the national scene with some key signings. Players like Samu Lino, Saúl Níguez, Emerson Royal, Carrascal, and Jorginho arrived, but no center forwards were signed.
The main targets were Argentines Valentín Castellanos of Lazio and Lucas Beltrán of Fiorentina. More recently, the name of Brazilian Marcos Leonardo, currently at Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia, has emerged, and has been identified as a target for the red-and-blacks by Fabrício Lopes.
Another factor complicating a potential move is the player's own intentions. Marcos Leonardo has already expressed his desire to leave Arab football, but his priority is to return to Europe , not Brazil, in the event of a transfer.
