Rubro-Negro, which renewed its agreement with the German brand this week, receives more than traditional European teams
|
Flamengo's Deliberative Council approved, this week, the new sponsorship contract for Adidas, supplier of sports equipment. The new contract runs until the end of 2029 and should yield between R$70 million and R$90 million per year to the club.
But, after all, how does this agreement compare with the German brand's contracts with European clubs? Down with Lance! Biz shows the comparison and reveals which teams receive more or less than Flamengo.
Five European clubs have more valuable contracts with Adidas than Flamengo. And the difference in values is not small. Manchester United, for example, recently signed a new agreement with the German brand, which will generate more than R$580 million per year for the club.
- Real Madrid (ESP): R$ 655 million
- Manchester United (ING): R$ 480 million
- Arsenal (ING): R $480 million
- Bayern Munich (ALE): R$330 million
- Juventus (ITA): R$295 million
It is worth highlighting that the The five clubs above, together with Flamengo, form the “elite” group within the Adidas portfolio and receive special treatment from the company. Newcastle signed with the brand and will become the seventh team in the group from next season.
Despite the big difference to the European giants, Flamengo can boast of having a better contract than traditional clubs from Europe. These are the cases of Benfica, Ajax and Roma, for example, who wear Adidas and earn less than R$60 million per year from the company.

The Sinergia Rubro-Negra Group (SRN), made up of influential partners from Flamengo, held a meeting last Saturday (7), at the club's headquarters, located in Gávea. The main objective of the meeting was to promote fraternization among the participants, but, inevitably, club politics ended up dominating the discussions throughout the event.
The main topic that emerged during the meeting was the support of the SRN to Rodrigo Dunshee's candidacy for president of Flamengo. Dunshee, who currently holds the position of general and legal vice-president of the club, is a prominent figure in the red-black political scene. The group, made up of members who share an aligned vision regarding the club's management, sees in Dunshee a name prepared to take over Flamengo's leadership, especially considering the upcoming electoral cycle.
During the event, members of the SRN highlighted Dunshee's role in the current administration, remembering that he was a fundamental player in several legal achievements of the Flamengo in recent years. The group believes that his experience and proximity to the club's internal processes make him the ideal candidate to succeed current president Rodolfo Landim, whose tenure ends at the end of his term.
Although the initial objective of the meeting was a celebration between the partners, it was inevitable that the conversations turned to Flamengo's political future. The club's presidential elections are approaching, and political groups are already beginning to articulate support and strategies. The SRN, being a strong group within the red-black political structure, has stood out for its organization and capacity to mobilize members.
Those present discussed, among other topics, the possible implications of a possible Dunshee's candidacy. His name has been circulating among members for some time, but now, with the explicit support of the SRN, his candidacy is gaining strength. The members highlighted that Dunshee is a name of continuity, someone who is already part of the current management and deeply knows the challenges and needs of the club. This, in the group's view, represents a positive point, as Dunshee could continue the projects started under the Landim administration.
The club has been in a race against time

Flamengo continues to debate whether to look for a replacement for Pedro, a striker who is recovering from an injury. The decision is complex, involving several variables ranging from the financial cost to the availability of players on the market. One of the main points under discussion is the high cost of a possible replacement. The club is aware that signing a center forward may require a significant investment, something that needs to be carefully evaluated within the team's current budget.
In addition, Flamengofaces the challenge of downtime of players available on the market. Many of the center forwards who are free for transfer come from long periods without playing, with recent injuries or prolonged absence from the field. This situation represents a risk, as the integration of a player who is not in the rhythm of the game may take longer and be less effective initially.
The club is also considering the limited number of viable options on the market. The scarcity of attackers who meet the criteria required by Flamengo – both in terms of quality and physical readiness – is a factor that further complicates the search for a suitable replacement.
In this scenario, the management of Flamengo assesses whether signing a new player is the best solution or whether there are viable alternatives to deal with Pedro's absence, such as adjusting the tactical formation or promoting youth players. The final decision is still being studied, and the club needs to carefully consider all aspects before making a decision.
