Flamengo and Giorgian De Arrascaeta are close to formalizing a new contract. Negotiations resumed in recent weeks and are expected to advance during the FIFA World Cup break. The agreement provides for a contract until December 2028 , with an automatic extension until 2029 if the player meets performance targets set by the parties.


The number 10 currently has a contract with the club until the end of 2026, but he has already expressed his desire to stay longer. Initially, the board didn't see any urgency in bringing forward the talks , but the Uruguayan's prominence this season led Flamengo to prioritize the renewal.


NEGOTIATIONS IN FINAL PHASE


Negotiations began in February, were halted in May, and are now in their final stages. Executive director José Boto and businessman Daniel Fonseca, a former Uruguayan national team player , are leading the talks.

After a rocky start, when negotiations were postponed until 2025, there is now agreement and optimism between the parties. New meetings are expected to take place next week in Rio de Janeiro to finalize the contract details.


URUGUAYAN HIGHLIGHT

So far, Arrascaeta has 19 goals and 13 assists in 48 appearances for Flamengo in 2025 , numbers that confirm his role as one of the squad's key players. In 2019, the year of his debut with the club, he was directly involved in 37 goals (18 scored and 19 assists).
