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.


FLAMENGO'S "STRONG" INVESTMENT

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.

Flamengo is close to officially signing 26-year-old striker Mikey Johnston from West Bromwich Albion in England. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the Rio de Janeiro club will pay around R$35 million for the transfer, and the contract will be for four years . The player is expected to travel to Brazil after final adjustments to the bureaucratic procedures.


Johnston prefers to play on the left wing, a position currently occupied by Everton Cebolinha and Michael. With his performance below that of both players, the Irishman arrives to fight for space and increase competitiveness in the sector. The signing also reflects the diagnosis of the football department, which sees the need for offensive renewal.


CEBOLINHA AND MICHAEL MAY LEAVE FLAMENGO


Mikey Johnston's arrival should not be an isolated incident. Internally, the club's board of directors understands that it is time to renew players in attack, especially on the wings. Michael and Everton Cebolinha have not been able to establish themselves this season , and the club is already working on the possibility of negotiating them soon.

MOMENT OF LOW OF THE MOST LOVED ONE


After a remarkable stint between 2020 and 2021, Michael returned to Flamengo surrounded by expectations. However, his second stint has been discreet and marked by irregular performances. According to ge, the player himself expressed the desire to leave in 2025, but was convinced to stay for a while longer. The atmosphere, however, is not the best.

Tactically, Michael does not fit into Flamengo's current playing style. His style based on dribbling and individual plays, which sometimes worked in the past, has now proven to be ineffective. His lack of tactical discipline has weighed against him remaining on the field in decisive games. Everton Cebolinha's situation is also not the most comfortable.

Midfielder Vinícius Souza was transferred from Sheffield United to Wolfsburg for 15 million euros (approximately R$95.8 million) . FIFA rules reserve up to 5% of the transfer fee paid by clubs to reward all clubs that contributed to the development of the athlete between the ages of 12 and 23. In Vinícius' case, Flamengo accumulated 3.05% because he left the club at the age of 21.


This transfer reinforces the sustainable business model of the red-black base, which obtained financial returns even without the sale of the athlete in loco. To give you an idea, a similar mechanism yielded the club around R$11 million in the sale of Lucas Paquetá, for example. The amount of R$3 million will be deposited directly into the club's coffers.


HOW MUCH WILL FLAMENGO RECEIVE?


Transfer: 15 million euros (~R$ 95.8 million)

Solidarity percentage: 3.05%


Estimated total for Flamengo: R$3 million

FIFA VALUE

This amount is not exceptional for an individual transfer, but it shows how small amounts can generate consistent resources for the club. When added to other negotiations – especially of athletes revealed at Ninho –, these revenues reinforce the financial viability of the red-black base without depending on immediate sales.
