Hugo Souza says goodbye to the Nation and the club on social media and officially. The goalkeeper will go to Desportivo Chaves (POR) for one year. Hugo was revealed by Flamengo, won titles with the mantle and played more than 70 games.


Hugo Souza's transfer to the Portuguese team Desportivo Chaves is another one of the moves that occur in this mid-year window. The player was loaned for a period of 12 months. Flamengo continues to have 50% of the economic rights over him. If Hugo's new team wants to buy him in the future, the amounts set at 1.2 million euros (approximately 6.2 million reais at current prices). Thus, if the Lusitanian club acquires the player definitively, in future sales, Flamengo will continue to receive half of the agreed amount.


It was with great emotion that the player - Cria do Ninho - said goodbye to the club and the fans on their social networks: “The time has come to say goodbye to Flamengo, this place that I consider much more than a club and, yes, my home. I arrived at the age of ten and lived here for over a decade. There were many titles won with the Sacred Mantle. And with great honor, I can say that I lived and won here!”


At the age of 24, the goalkeeper leaves Flamengo after 71 matches as a professional. During this period, Hugo Souza won the following titles: Brasileirão (2020), Supercopa do Brasil (2021), Campeonato Carioca (2021), Libertadores (2022) and Copa do Brasil (2022).

Flamengo has taken an important step towards finalizing the permanent transfer of midfielder Victor Hugo, 21 , to Famalicão, in Portugal. The Portuguese club has presented a purchase proposal that was considered satisfactory by the red-black board, which has already authorized the player's representatives to define the contract terms with the Europeans.


The expectation is that the contract with Famalicão will be valid for three seasons . The values involved in the negotiation were not revealed. The information was released by journalist Venê Casagrande.


NO SPACE IN THE CAST


Victor Hugo recently returned to the club after a loan spell at Goztepe in Turkey. The contract with the Turkish club included a buyout clause set at 8 million euros (approximately R$51 million) , but the European team chose not to exercise the option. Without a place in the squad led by Filipe Luís, the player is not part of the plans for the rest of the season.

Initially, Famalicão discussed the possibility of a new loan , but the talks evolved into a permanent transfer, considered the most advantageous solution by Flamengo 's football department.


PASSING TURKEY

During his time at Goztepe, Victor Hugo made 35 appearances, starting 12 of them, and scored three goals. He was involved in the team's eighth-place finish in the national league and also in the team's run to the semi-finals of the Turkish Cup, ending his spell with a stoppage-time goal against Kasimpasa on May 30.

On Tuesday (1), Zenit agreed to sign Gerson after depositing the amount of the midfielder's termination fee into Flamengo's bank account. Thus, with the amount, Mais Querido reached the budget target set for the season.


At the beginning of the season, Flamengo's idea was to raise around 35 million euros (R$225 million) from the sale of athletes in 2025. In this way, Rubro-Negro surpassed the mark, as it raised 47 million euros (R$302 million).


ALCARAZ AND FABRÍCIO BRUNO HELP TO COMPLEMENT THE GOAL


It is worth remembering that before the sale of Gerson , Flamengo had already agreed the sales of Fabrício Bruno, to Cruzeiro for 7 million euros (R$ 44 million) and Carlos Alcaraz, to Everton (ING), for 15 million euros (R$ 96 million).

BILLING MAY INCREASE


Despite having already surpassed the target set at the beginning of the year, Flamengo can still raise more money. This is because more players like Wesley are expected to leave during this transfer window. The full-back has already received inquiries from several European football clubs and could be sold for up to 35 million euros (R$225 million).

FOCUS ON SEASON SEQUENCE

Without Gerson, coach Filipe Luís will begin preparing the team for the rest of the season. Now, Rubro-Negro will focus its attention on the Brazilian Championship, Libertadores and Copa do Brasil. In the Brazilian Championship, Mais Querido is the leader, with 24 points, in addition to being qualified for the round of 16 of the knockout stages.
