Flamengo and Famalicão, from Portugal, have reached an agreement for the transfer of Victor Hugo. The 21-year-old midfielder will sign a three-season contract with the Portuguese club in a model without financial compensation: each team will keep 50% of the player's economic rights, which is a bet by the red-blacks to profit from a future sale.
The "free" deal draws attention because in 2023 Victor Hugo received an offer of 20 million euros (around R$107 million at the time) from Wolverhampton, England. The board at the time chose to refuse the offer and, despite internally denying that they had received this proposal, they never made a public statement. The information about the deal between Flamengo and Famalicão comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.
Now, without better offers and with the player out of Filipe Luís' plans, the board understood that the model with Famalicão could generate good values in the future. This is because the Portuguese club is known for negotiating athletes well. But it still draws attention, since the window is not even open in Brazil and in many European countries.
Victor Hugo returned to Flamengo in June after a loan to Goztepe in Turkey, where he had a purchase option set at 8 million euros (around R$51 million), but which was not exercised. In Turkish football, he played 35 games last season (12 as a starter), scored three goals and participated in the campaign to the semi-finals of the World Cup.
Discovered by Mengão in 2022, Victor Hugo has played 105 professional games for Flamengo, with six goals, six assists and participation in three titles: Libertadores 2022, Copa do Brasil 2022 and Campeonato Carioca 2024. The midfielder began to lose space under Tite's command and ended up being negotiated on loan in mid-2024, as part of the transaction for the purchase of Carlos Alcaraz.
In April, Filipe Luís spoke about a possible return of Victor Hugo, when reports indicated that the midfielder had already been ruled out by the board. The coach praised the athlete, who he was a teammate of at Rubro-Negro, and stated that he had not given an opinion on the matter to the board and reinforced that José Boto has autonomy in assembling the squad. However, the assessment was that the best thing to do was to negotiate the athlete.
"Nobody even mentioned Victor Hugo's name to me. I played with him, I like him a lot. He's a very good player, he doesn't lose the ball. A midfielder with a lot of quality and a starter for Flamengo in 2022, starting in 2023 and was practically a starter ahead of Everton Ribeiro. He lost his place in 2024 and chose to leave. I participate in the formation of the squad and give my opinion, but the formation of the squad is not mine," said the coach at the time.
Mengão's board of directors opts to warn the striker after an expulsion deemed irresponsible; coach Filipe Luís will participate in the athlete's guidance process

Young striker Wallace Yan, 20, will be officially warned by Flamengo's board after being sent off in the match against Bahia , held last Sunday (5). The player received two yellow cards in a period of just ten minutes , in a move considered immature and avoidable by the coaching staff.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the club decided not to remove the player from the main squad, but to impose an internal punishment of an educational nature . The measure aims to educate the player about the responsibility of acting with emotional balance in decisive matches.
The club's board intends to handle the case as part of the striker's professional development process. Coach Filipe Luís and members of the coaching staff will participate in discussions with the player, reinforcing the importance of discipline and posture on the field.
" Filipe Luís will speak with him, as will club officials. The goal is to make him understand the magnitude of the mistake and its consequences," Venê said. The expulsion came at an important time for Wallace Yan, who was trying to regain his place in the first team.
With the suspension confirmed, Wallace Yan will continue training normally with the group, but under the supervision of the coaching staff. To become a regular player again, the Flamengo forward will need to demonstrate commitment and maturity on and off the field.

The announcement of ticket prices for the Conmebol Libertadores semifinal match between Flamengo and Racing (ARG) has sparked a strong backlash on social media. Some fans consider the prices to be high and believe the club is driving the "common people" away from Maracanã , which, according to many, directly impacts the club's traditional energy in the stands.
The match takes place on October 22nd at 9:30 pm at Maracanã Stadium. The club has released the sales schedule and prices for members and the general public , with tickets ranging from R$87.50 to R$600 in conventional areas, and exceeding R$2,000 for premium packages.
On social media, many Flamengo fans expressed dissatisfaction with the prices. The main criticism is that the high cost prevents access for some of the more popular fans , who traditionally provide the vibrant atmosphere and parties in the stands. "I already foresee a silent Maracanã," commented one fan in a viral post on X (formerly Twitter).
