Flamengo has formalized a proposal for goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão , Santos' standout player in 2025. According to information from UOL, Rubro-Negro offered seven million euros (around R$45 million) for 60% of the player's economic rights.


Despite the high price, Santos rejected the offer. The São Paulo club believes Brazão should only leave if a minimum offer of €15 million (approximately R$94 million) is met, a sum considered fair by the board to open negotiations.


WHAT DID GAZETA DO URUBU FIND?


According to Gazeta do Urubu , the Rio de Janeiro club has not yet made an official offer to the player. Sources within the board revealed that the player is being monitored, but there have been no official talks with the goalkeeper yet.

SANTOS HOLDS THE GOALKEEPER


Gabriel Brazão is in great form and has become one of the most highly valued goalkeepers in Brazilian football. In addition to Flamengo 's interest, European clubs are also monitoring the situation. Torino, from Italy, even submitted a R$64 million offer , which Santos also rejected.

Other giants like Chelsea, Galatasaray, and Porto are closely monitoring the player's progress , as he has played 33 matches this season. Santos' board, which recently loaned João Paulo to Bahia, is working to keep Brazão at least until the end of the year.
