O Flamengo received a proposal of 5 million euros from Rio Ave, from Portugal, for the young striker Matheus Gonçalves. This movement in the transfer market signals the European club's interest in acquiring the talent of the 18-year-old player, who has stood out in Flamengo's youth categories.


Matheus Gonçalves is seen as one of the team's promises from Rio, with stints in the Brazilian Under-20 Team and good performances in the Brazilian Championship of Aspirants. Despite his young age, the striker has already been integrated into the professional squad on a few occasions, showing his potential. Rio Ave's proposal represents an opportunity for the young player to take a leap in his career, starting to play in European football, which is often seen as a showcase for emerging talents. However, Flamengo's decision in Whether or not to accept the offer involves a series of factors, ranging from long-term planning for the athlete to the immediate financial impact that the sale could generate.


FLAMENGO HAS THE GREATEST CRITERIA FOR SALE 


From a financial point of view, the proposal of 5 million euros is significant for an athlete still in the development phase. Flamengo needs consider whether the value offered by Rio Ave matches the potential that Matheus Gonçalves may demonstrate in the short and medium term. Another aspect to be analyzed is the possibility of including contractual clauses that guarantee Flamengo a percentage in a future sale of the player, something that has become common practice in negotiations of this type.

On the other hand, the club also must assess the sporting impact of losing a player with Matheus' characteristics. The departure of a promising young player can open up space for other youth talent, but it also represents a technical loss, especially if the athlete is seen as a potential starter in the near future.

The Deliberative Council of Flamengo voted and approved, this Tuesday, Shopee's new sponsorship. The Singaporean brand will print the sleeves of the shirts of the men's and women's football teams, as well as the basketball team. The sponsorship will yield R$ 12 million fixed to Flamengo. Payment will be made in three installments of R$4 million (February, April and July). There is still a variable value. That's 5% of sales in the Shopee affiliate program.


Thebrand will be on the sleeves of the game, training and warm-up shirt of the men's and women's football teams. In basketball, it is in front of the game, training and warm-up shorts. In terms of comparison, Kwai paid R$10 million for the same space in the 2024 season. The contract with Shopee will be until December 31, 2025.


On the back, Flamengo will not immediately fill the gap left by Mercado Livre. A test will be carried out with the FlaBet exhibition for a period of three months. The idea is to leverage the number of bets and earn more royalties, as you receive 1% of the gross value of bets.

In addition to shopee, Rubro-Negro approved three sponsorships before. The brands involved are Texaco, ABC da Construção and In Drive. In total, Flamengo should receive more than R$20 million. Check the details of each brand:

ABC of Construction: back part of both legs in the shorts of professional teams (men's and women's), men's under-20s and men's professional basketball. One-year contract, with R$5.5 million in cash and R$2 million in exchange (it is worth remembering that the club is building a mini-stadium in Ninho do Urubu), totaling R$7.5 million.

O Flamengo decided that the attacker Carlinhos will not be part of the plans of the squad led by Filipe Luís. After internal evaluation, the player was released to seek new opportunities in the transfer market. The athlete was offered to clubs in Europe, such as Estoril and Rio Ave, both from Portugal, but negotiations did not progress. According to information, the two clubs analyzed the player with the support of their scouting departments and decided not to close the deal.


FLAMENGO CONTINUES SEARCHING FOR INTERESTED PARTIES


Despite the first impasses, the CRF remains committed to finding a destination for Carlinhos. The club is in contact with other markets and is considering alternatives to negotiate the striker, whether through a permanent sale or loan. The decision not to include Carlinhos in the squad reflects a strategic change by Mais Querido, which seeks to optimize the group's formation and adjust the players' profile to the coach's plans.


CHALLENGES IN THE MARKET FOR THE PLAYER

The refusal of Portuguese clubs highlights the difficulties that some players face in finding new opportunities on the international market. In addition to technical quality, aspects such as age, injury history and tactical profile are taken into account by scouts. In the case of Carlinhos, Flamengocontinues to explore possibilities that are advantageous to both parties, respecting the planning outlined by the technical committee and the board.


With just a few weeks until the transfer window closes, Mengão intensifies efforts to provide closure to the attacker's situation. The club hopes to resolve the case quickly, allowing Carlinhos to be able to play regularly for another team. The case reflects the challenges faced by big clubs like Flamengo when managing extensive and competitive squads, where opportunities for some players end up being limited.
