Flamengo has dreamed of having a club in Europe for some years now. The project remained dormant in recent years, but has been debated again by management since the beginning of 2024. Therefore, the board has strengthened ties with teams mainly from Portugal. But what makes the red-black want this?
The project would not necessarily involve a purchase at first. Flamengo can start by formalizing a partnership and later, if the model works, acquire a part of the SAD (Sociedade Anônima Desportiva, like the SAF model in Brazil) of a team.
The project is ambitious, but Portugal is the focus at the moment. The club sees the country as an opportunity, including due to the number of Brazilian residents, and a good gateway to other clubs on the European continent. There is no defined team yet, but Landim has strengthened ties. Leixões, as ge initially revealed, is one of these targets.
There is an understanding that young people from Europe are sold for higher prices. Therefore, exchanges with young people trained in the youth categories can be an important asset financially. Visibility and experience count. Having a partner club would mean providing training to young people without much space, as well as an experience outside the country. Boys in transition between youth and professional teams are the main focus in this regard, as they are often left without opportunities.
Revenues in euros are also on the horizon. Financial gain is considered one of the reasons for the board's interest in this project. Financial impacts and Tondela's relegation postponed this plan. Conversations began between 2020 and 2021. The internationalization of the brand is another focus. Flamengo has been taking initiatives in this direction in recent years and sees the chance to place the brand in Europe as another step towards expansion.

Vinicius Jr. continues to demonstrate his great football on the lawns of Europe. This Tuesday (24), Real Madrid's Shirt 7 was one of the highlights of the 3-2 victory over Alavés, in the 7th round of La Liga. The star, trained at Flamengo, provided the assist for the first goal of the match.
In the first minute of the game, Vini Jr. received a ball on the left wing, dominated and went on to score. The attacker took it to the baseline, passed the marker and played for Lucas Vázquez to open the scoring. With the assist, Vini reached the mark of nine goal contributions in nine matches played this season. He scored three goals (two from penalties), provided four assists and suffered two fouls inside the box, which were converted into penalty goals.
Mbappé and Rodrygo scored the other goals for the Merengue team. The 3-0 led to a quiet victory for the home team, but Alavés, in two minutes, scored twice and added excitement to the game, but the match ended in Madrid's victory.
Vinicius Júnior's expectation of winning the Ballon d'Or seems to be about to come true. After a spectacular season for Real Madrid, the Brazilian star is increasingly closer to being voted the best player in the world, according to the newspaper Marca.
The striker, revealed by Flamengo, is about to make history. Vini Jr. has already been informed that he will be the big winner of the 2023/24 Ballon d'Or. Thus, Garoto do Ninho will break a 17-year fast without Brazilians at the top of the podium since Kaká, in 2007.

Two of the CRF's most experienced players are in the final stages of their contracts, with their future still uncertain. Gabigol, the club's idol, and defender David Luiz have contracts valid until December 31, 2024. The uncertainty about whether they will stay raises discussions behind the scenes, especially with the presidential elections approaching.
The situation of defender David Luiz is delicate. Although his name is well evaluated within the current management, led by Rodolfo Landim, who supports Rodrigo Dunshee, the defender's continuity in the squad is not seen with the same enthusiasm by other wings of the club.
David Luiz had his contract was automatically renewed in January this year, after fulfilling the clause of playing in at least 20 matches, with 45 minutes on the field in each one. As a result, his contract was extended until the end of 2024. If Dunshee wins the elections, it is likely that Mengão will propose a renewal for another year.
The agreement, however, must be signed without an increase salary and without the payment of gloves. David Luiz has already expressed interest in remaining at the club, but the final decision should only take place after the presidential election.
The Mais Querido elections, scheduled for December, will be fundamental in defining the future of the two athletes. Depending on who takes charge, priorities and decisions about hiring and renewals may change.

After Pedro's serious injury, Flamengo began negotiations to sign striker Anthony Martial. However, the talks did not progress, and the French player is close to signing a contract with AEK Athens, from Greece.
According to information from journalist Matteo Moretto, transfer specialist, Anthony Martial reached a verbal agreement with the Greek club. However, there are still some pending issues, but these are just details of the contract. Thus, AEK Athens is the most likely destination for the striker, who is out of contract.
Anthony was offered to Mais Querido by his agents since February this year, when he still had a contract with Manchester United. However, after Pedro's serious injury, the agents once again made the player's name available to Rubro-Negro.
However, Mais Querido opened negotiations, but did not accept the demands of Anthony's agents Martial. This is because the representatives demanded more than R$2 million in salaries, in addition to gloves. Finally, a three-year contract was requested for the athlete, but Flamengo did not accept the terms.
Flamengo will have to play the remainder of the season without Pedro, who suffered a ruptured ligament in his left knee while training with the Brazilian team. Thus, the red-black board defined that Carlinhos and Gabigol are the viable options for the number 9's place.
