According to the Summoned Report, Flamengo invested R$27 million more than second place in the youth categories. In other words, Grêmio and São Paulo appear tied for second place on the list, with R$144 million invested, by each of them, from 2019 to 2023.

7th Atlético-MG – 94 million
8th Vasco – 62 million< /p>
9th Athletico-PR – 57 million
10th Cruzeiro – 56 million
One of the details is that only five Brazilian clubs injected more than R$100 million into the player training. However, it is worth remembering that the Summoned Report takes into account the values officially presented by the Brasileirão Series A teams.
With the base that receives the most investment in Brazil, Flamengo reaped some fruits between 2019 and 2023. That's because Rubro-Negro sold offspring to European football. These are the cases of names like Reinier (Real Madrid-ESP), Matheus França (Crystal Palace-ING) and João Gomes (Wolverhampton-ING).
Flamengo's youth football also wins important titles, in addition to revealing young people. Therefore, Rubro-Negro won the 2023 Brasileirão U20 and won the Libertadores U20 for the first time in history, at the beginning of 2024. Therefore, Ninho do Urubu is one of the main breeding grounds for world football stars. .

The sale, initially exclusive to members of the Rio Grande do Sul club, highlighted the high expectations in Porto Alegre . The projected attendance is close to 50,000 Colorado fans for the decisive match. The red-and-black fans will also fill the area designated for visitors.
Before the Libertadores game, Flamengo and Internacional will face each other this Sunday (17), for the Brazilian Championship, also at Beira-Rio. The match will be a thermometer for what Filipe Luís' team will find days later , both on the field and in the pressure of the stands.
For Flamengo , facing packed stadiums is nothing new. The Rubro-Negro, accustomed to large crowds, played the first leg in front of nearly 70,000 people at Maracanã , winning 1-0 with a goal from Bruno Henrique after a superb cross from Luiz Araújo.
For this Sunday's match, Filipe Luís named all available players, with the exception of midfielder Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering.

Flamengo has important reinforcements in the coming days. With De La Cruz, Danilo and Emerson Royal on coach Filipe Luís' list of players for the game against Internacional this Sunday (17), Mengão now has a practically empty medical department. But Erick Pulgar's situation still deserves attention .
A regular starter for Filipe Luís, the Chilean midfielder has been out of action since the FIFA Club World Cup. The good news is that his recovery is progressing well, and a return to training is expected. Pulgar is expected to return to action in the second half of September .
His return to action will depend on his fitness after a long layoff. Even if he doesn't return until October, the midfielder will still have a good run of matches , as the season doesn't end until December 21st.
Pulgar fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot in the 4-2 loss to Bayern Munich in Orlando, Flamengo 's final World Cup match. He underwent surgery on July 3 and, after two weeks of rest, began physical therapy at Ninho do Urubu.
The Chilean is no longer in pain and has been monitoring his progress through imaging tests. Between the 10th and 12th week after surgery, he will undergo a CT scan to assess fracture healing and then be cleared to safely return to training . After that, he will undergo further steps: running on the field, ball work, release from physical therapy, and finally, reintegration into the squad.
Discussions about a new contract between the number 10 and Mengão came to light at the beginning of the year, but the idea was left aside by the club.

Arrascaeta on renewing his contract with Flamengo: "At this moment, I wouldn't like to talk about it"
When asked about the matter, the number 10 replied: "At this moment, I wouldn't like to talk about it." The Uruguayan's contract with the club runs until December 2026, and Flamengo only intends to begin negotiations to renew his contract in early 2026. Starting in June of next year, Arrascaeta will be able to sign a pre-contract with any club for free if he doesn't reach an agreement to stay.
Since joining Flamengo in 2019, Arrascaeta has established himself as a key player . Initially wearing the number 14 jersey, he took on the number 10 after Gabigol's departure. To date, he has scored 87 goals and provided 98 assists in 328 matches, directly contributing to 185 goals for the club.
In the 2025 season, the Uruguayan is the team's top scorer, with 14 goals and nine assists in 38 games, adding 23 direct participations in goals so far , which made coach Filipe Luís treat the Uruguayan as the 'best player in Brazil' in a recent press conference.
Flamengo returns to the field this Sunday (17), at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), against Internacional, at Beira-Rio Stadium, for the 20th round of the Brasileirão. The match will be broadcast live on Premiere, on pay-per-view . Mengão is the leader of the Championship with 40 points, three more than Cruzeiro and one game less than the Minas Gerais team.
