Little known on the national scene until then, Alexsandro had a stint in Flamengo's youth system before following another path. While still young, he also played for Resende and sought opportunities abroad. He played for modest clubs in Portugal, such as Praiense, Amora and Chaves, before arriving at Lille , in France, in 2022.
Currently under contract with the French club until June 2028, Alexsandro is valued at 20 million euros, approximately R$129.2 million at the current exchange rate. His value is a direct reflection of his good performances for Lille, the club with which he finished last season in fifth place in the French Championship.
In addition to his performance in Ligue 1, the defender played a key role in Lille's campaign in the UEFA Champions League. The French team finished seventh in the group stage and was eliminated in the round of 16 by Borussia Dortmund, in a very even match. During an interview with ESPN's “Bola da Vez” program, Alexsandro made no secret of his passion for Flamengo.
When asked about the possibility of playing in Brazilian football, he responded directly: “It has to be Mengão. Always Mengão.” According to the defender, his entire family is red-and-black. Journalist Jorge Nicola commented on the player’s statement on his channel and classified it as a “nice dig”. However, he made a point of considering that, despite his affection for the club, an immediate return to Brazil is unlikely.
Internally, Flamengo is monitoring Alexsandro's performance, but there is no concrete move at this time to bring him back. The club understands that the defender is on the rise in Europe and that any negotiation would involve high sums. According to Jorge Nicola, Alexsandro has qualities that qualify him to be monitored by big clubs:

Flamengo's board believes the impact of the deal with Betano has changed the club's market position. Therefore, the board has opened negotiations to update the amounts received from Adidas , its sports equipment supplier since 2013.
The contract was recently renewed and runs until 2029. Currently, it guarantees Flamengo a minimum salary of R$44 million per season, paid in three annual installments. With performance targets and bonuses, revenue could approach R$90 million per year , with a projected average of around R$70 million. These figures are expected to be revised to reflect the club's growth.
At the start of the season, Flamengo signed the largest master sponsorship deal in Brazilian football history with Betano. The fixed value is R$268.5 million annually, with potential increases to nearly R$1 billion when bonuses for performance, sales, and engagement are factored in.
The package includes contributions on different fronts:
Football: R$220 million fixed per year
Olympic sports: R$12 million
Properties such as LEDs and VIP boxes: R$ 10 million
Flamengo TV: R$10 million
Retail: R$10 million fixed, plus participation in the sale of uniforms and new customer registrations.
