The balance sheet for the first quarter of 2024 was released by Flamengo and brought some important situations regarding some of the club's negotiations, one of which was a surprising finding. The document states that Flamengo spent more to renew David Luiz's contract for a year, reserve defender, than to extend Bruno Henrique's contract for three years for this season.
David Luiz's renewal was activated by a clause that provided for an automatic one-year extension of the contract. This happened in the second half of the year, when he completed 20 matches in 2023. In total, the defender ended up playing 37 times, as he was a starter at the beginning of the season and lost space as the year progressed, with Sampaoli and then with coach Tite.
After Tite's arrival, precisely on the coach's debut, he reached the stipulated goal. In 2024, the defender only took the field six times. Today he is the fourth option in defense, behind Fabrício Bruno, Léo Ortiz and Léo Pereira. Flamengo paid R$1.312 million in intermediation and gloves to the player to renew his contract for another year, according to the balance sheet. The practice is quite common among Brazilian football teams with agents.
Bruno Henrique did not have automatic renewal and it took a long negotiation to renew the contract. At the time, even Palmeiras came in as a strong candidate to keep the striker, but in the end there was a renewal. At the time, the biggest divergence was due to the duration of the contract. Palmeiras had equal opportunities to sign him after Flamengo did not renew the agreement before the final six months.
The value of the defender is greater in the new contract due to the sum between the gloves and the intermediation for the renewal of the two athletes. This intermediation made the defender more expensive than the number 27. Bruno Henrique was R$1.259 million, around R$50 thousand less than the payment to David Luiz. This amount went towards signing the new contract between the parties, not counting the athletes' salaries.
Bruno Henrique has already played 21 games in 2024, with two goals and one assist. The number 27 has played as a winger on the left more frequently, but has also played on the other side and even as a center forward. David Luiz has been one of Fla's leaders since Tite's arrival, but has not been used frequently. His contract runs until December this year and the tendency is that this time, it will not be renewed.

Flamengo has already begun planning for next season and confirmed that Matheus Cunha, Pablo, and Cleiton will not have their contracts renewed . All three will leave the club at the end of their contracts. Other names are also on the list of possible departures. Everton Cebolinha, Michael, and Juninho are considered negotiable. The number 11, for example, is attracting interest from Grêmio for 2026.
Another case in question is defensive midfielder Allan. Coach Filipe Luís has prioritized other midfield options, and the player is open to a potential return to Atlético-MG , where he could re-team with Jorge Sampaoli. This information was released by journalist Guilherme Frossard, who covers the Galo news team.
With the transfer window in Brazil closed, any transfer activity will only be possible starting in January . Atlético-MG is closely monitoring the situation and is expected to consider a move. In 2023, Flamengo spent approximately R$43 million to sign Allan from Galo, at the request of Sampaoli, then the club's coach.
At the Rio de Janeiro club, however, Allan didn't replicate his performance in Belo Horizonte. Today, the defensive midfielder occupies a secondary position in Filipe Luís's squad . In the last round of the Brasileirão, Betano faced Grêmio, he sat on the bench for the entire match.
Even with the full focus on winning the Copa Libertadores and the Brasileirão, the board is already working toward 2026. The goal is to reduce the payroll by selling reserves and making room for a major signing in January , under the command of José Boto. Another unresolved issue is the retention of coach Filipe Luís. His current contract expires in December, and the club's first offer was rejected. Negotiations are expected to continue in the coming weeks.

Full-back Jorge, the new signing for Remo under executive director Marcos Braz , is experiencing a comeback in football. Discovered by Flamengo, he achieved national and international prominence, playing for clubs such as Palmeiras, Santos, Fluminense, and even in Europe , playing for Monaco, Porto, and Basel.
In France, with Monaco, Jorge won a French Championship title. Returning to Brazil in 2023, he signed with Fluminense, but suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in his right knee , which sidelined him for a long period. He later played for CRB, but played few games, with his last official match taking place on September 15, 2024.
At the press conference held last week, Jorge stated that he was physically recovered and available to coach António Oliveira: “ I am feeling very well physically , clinically too, that is the most important thing, after a very serious injury that I had at Fluminense… Today I feel good.”
Jorge, ex-Flamengo, reveals the reason for his career break: "I wanted to breathe a little"
Jorge revealed that he chose to take some time away from football to reflect and distance himself from stressful environments: “ When I arrived in Rio, after this contract I had at CRB , I decided that I wanted to breathe a little, get away from some environments through football, because I really went through a lot of things that only God knows.”
With extensive national and international experience, Jorge was also called up to the Brazilian national team in 2017 , playing a friendly against Colombia at Botafogo's Nilton Santos Stadium. The full-back arrives at Remo determined to regain his rhythm and contribute to the team.

Juventude could not resist the leader of the Brasileirão and was beaten 2-0 by Flamengo , last Sunday (14), at Alfredo Jaconi. After the match, coach Thiago Carpini highlighted the difference in level between the teams and praised the performance of Rubro-Negro .
Thiago Carpini after Flamengo's victory over Juventude: "The disparity is huge"
"Today we faced a Flamengo team that needs no comment. The disparity is huge, a team accustomed to shooting a lot and being imposing. We managed to limit their shots a bit, which shows that some of the combinations worked well ," said Carpini.
The coach also explained why he chose Nenê and Alan Ruschel as starters. According to him, the idea was to prioritize possession and exploit set pieces , but the plan didn't pan out, largely due to Flamengo 's own style of play.
"It was more of a coincidence than a strategy, playing at home. Nenê gives us support and rhythm, as well as the set pieces. Alan played well, as did Hermes . We have a group, and we'll choose the best options based on our daily routine," added the Juventude coach.
With the victory, Flamengo reached 50 points and maintained its four-point lead over Palmeiras at the top . Juventude remains in 18th place with 21 points, within the relegation zone. In the next round, Flamengo faces Vasco, while Juventude visits Mirassol in São Paulo.
