O Flamengo , in recent years, it has consolidated itself as a financial powerhouse in Brazilian football. This status is not only the result of its huge fan base or the sale of players, but also of an administration that, despite some ups and downs, managed to leverage the club's ability to make major signings. The possible arrival of Alex Sandro at Flamengo is further clear evidence of this new reality at the club.
Alex Sandro, a left-back with vast experience in Europe, mainly at Juventus, is a name that has been arousing interest for a long time. interest from Brazilian clubs. However, most of these clubs do not have the necessary resources to bring in a player of this caliber. Flamengo, on the other hand, has shown that it not only has interest, but also the ability to carry out deals that seemed unthinkable for national football.
Rodrigo Bueno, in a recent comment, highlighted that Flamengo has not only the money, but the assertiveness necessary to make big signings. The possible arrival of Alex Sandro reinforces this perception. For Flamengo, signing a player of this level is no longer a distant dream, but rather a concrete possibility, something that the club can make a reality with relative ease.
Flamengo, over the last few years, has showing a financial muscle that few clubs in Brazil can match. This is due to a number of factors, including increased revenue from broadcasts, sponsorships, and the ability to trade players for high prices on the international market.
