The relationship between Flamengo and @pixbet has lasted since 2022, and during this period the partnership has proven to be extremely fruitful for both parts. @pixbet not only maintained, but also significantly increased the value offered to keep its brand stamped on the red and black uniforms. Now, this contract renewal is about to be consolidated, with the company agreeing to pay approximately R$90 million for two more seasons, covering the years 2024 and 2025.

Fans' emotional identification with their clubs is profound, and any change in the team's image can be seen as a betrayal of principles and history.

Ultimately, Flamengo's advisors' decision on the contract sponsorship deal with @pixbet is a reflection of the complexity of modern sport. It's a decision that involves finances, identity, tradition and future aspirations. There is no single or easy answer, and counselors are facing a difficult task weighing all of these elements. Regardless of the result of the vote, one thing is certain: Flamengo will continue to be a loved and respected institution in the world of football. Whatever path is chosen, the club will face the challenges with the passion and determination that have always been hallmarks of its history. And at the end of the day, fans will be there to support their team, regardless of the logos on the uniforms.

What Flamengo is planning to focus on renewing the contracts of three of its main players after the transfer window closes. Pedro, Gerson and Erick Pulgar are fundamental pieces of the red and black squad, and the club wants to guarantee their stay for longer, offering new contractual terms that reflect their importance within the team.

In the case of Pedro , the striker received a proposal from Nottingham Forest during the window, but Flamengo chose not to accept the offer. The decision reflects the club's position of not wanting to trade the player at this time, as he is seen as a strategic asset for the season. Pedro, who has been top scorer in several competitions, is a central piece in Flamengo's attack, and his departure would create a gap that would be difficult to fill. To ensure their permanence and motivation, Flamengo plans to discuss a salary increase that is in line with their contributions and future expectations.


 A NEW DIRECTION FOR EVALUATION 

< Gerson, another key player in the squad, is also in the spotlight for a renewal. The midfielder returned to Flamengo in 2023, after a spell in European football, and quickly resumed his prominent role in the team. Renewing his contract is seen as a priority by the club, which wants to keep its central structure intact. Gerson is known for his versatility and ability to control in midfield, and the board understands that keeping him in the squad is essential for long-term plans. Like Pedro, Gerson should receive a salary increase proposal that reflects his value to the team and his growth prospects within the club.

Erick Pulgar, in turn, has a slightly different situation. The Chilean midfielder, who arrived at Flamengo in 2022, has a contract in force until December 2025. At the beginning of 2024, the club began discussing a possible renewal with Pulgar, but the conversations ended up cooling down as the months went by. Now, with the transfer window closing, Flamengo intends to resume these negotiations with more intensity. Pulgar is seen as an important piece in the team's defensive scheme, offering stability and protection to the defense. The club's idea is to guarantee its continuity, preventing possible harassment from other clubs in the future.
