Left back Alex Sandro held a press conference this Thursday afternoon (05), at CT Ninho do Urubu. In one of the questions asked to the full-back, the athlete thanked him for the effort in signing him and spoke about his expectation of debuting with the red-black shirt.
"I wanted to thank you for your words. I also have my words of thanks for your trust in myself. I'm sure that all of this will be rewarded on the field. I feel very happy, proud, honored to be part of the huge family that is Flamengo. It's wonderful and it's a club that any player would like to play for", he highlighted.
Alex Sandro was the third reinforcement that Flamengo announced in this transfer window. The 33-year-old athlete arrives to fill the squad's shortage on the left side, as Matías Viña had a serious knee injury, as well as a fractured tibia and, as a result, will only play again next season.
Name on Bid
Before even giving an interview, Alex Sandro already had his name registered in the CBF's Daily Newsletter (BID). In the duel with Corinthians, last Sunday (01), the full-back could have already entered the field. However, as he had not yet participated in any activity with the red and black squad, the player was left out.
First training
After the game against Corinthians, the squad of Flamengo received three days off. However, Alex Sandro and Gonzalo Plata, recently signed by the club, had no rest and trained at CT Ninho do Urubu. It was only this Thursday (05) that the full-back and striker trained in their first activity with their new teammates.

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.
