WORTH IT? FLAMENGO PAID MORE TO RENEW WITH DAVID LUIZ THAN WITH BRUNO HENRIQUE

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.

Alcaraz hopes to take off at Flamengo in 2025
Argentino is today the most expensive signing in Mengão’s history; Check out what the lives of other players who had this label were like

With the arrival of 2025, Carlos Alcaraz faces the opportunity to reverse a scenario that marked his previous season at Flamengo: the weight of the title of most expensive signing in the club's history. The Argentine midfielder, signed for US$20 million (around R$110.6 million), seeks to leave the criticism behind and live up to the fans' high expectations.
Alcaraz arrived with star status, coming from Southampton, but failed to establish himself. Despite a promising debut against Corinthians, he ended 2024 with modest numbers: two goals and two assists in 18 games. Now, the challenge is to use the pre-season at Ninho do Urubu as a springboard for a turnaround.
The weight of millions in Flamengo
Since the club restructured itself financially under the management of Eduardo Bandeira de Mello, major signings have carried the pressure of justifying the high investment. Some idols overcame their initial distrust, while others took a while to get going.
Everton Ribeiro
Signed in 2017 for 6 million euros (R$ 22 million), the midfielder had a discreet start. It fluctuated in its first season, suffered criticism and saw from the bench the defeat in the final of the Sudamericana to Independiente. Inspired by his career in judo, he turned things around in 2018 and established himself as one of Flamengo, winning numerous titles.
Vitinho
Acquired in 2018 for 10 million euros (R$ 44 million), the striker also faced difficulties. There were three goals and five assists in 28 games in the first half. Only in 2021 did Vitinho experience his best phase, standing out as the team's waiter and adding 29 participations in goals in 63 matches.
Arrascaeta
In 2019, Flamengo invested 18 million euros (R$ 79.5 million) in Uruguay, which faced initial resistance under the command of Abel Braga< /b>. However, with the arrival of Jorge Jesus, Arrascaeta exploded. He became a key part of the multi-champion team and one of the greatest idols in recent red-black history.
Pedro
The center forward was purchased for 14 million euros (R$ 88 million) in 2021, after shining in his debut year whilst on loan. However, his following season was the worst in terms of numbers, marked by injuries and a lack of goals. Pedrorediscovered his best football in 2022, established himself in the Libertadores and was elected King of America.
Expectations for Alcaraz in 2025
For Alcaraz, the beginning of 2025 represents a blank page. The fans hope that the Argentine midfielder, when he returns to Ninho do Urubu, will arrive "lighter", both physically and mentally. The goal is for him to reach the same level as other stars who have overcome the weight of millions and become idols.
The new season brings challenges and opportunities for the Argentine to show his value and, who knows, mark his name in Flamengo's history.

Defender considers leaving after losing space in the squad and being bothered by a high salary without opportunities

Flamengo is close to closing the negotiations for Fabrício Bruno with the Cruise. The Minas Gerais club's proposal, valued at 5 million euros, with bonuses for goals achieved, becoming one of the most significant moves of this transfer window.
According to close sources, the defender is not satisfied with his current situation at Mengão. Despite being one of the highest paid athletes on the squad, he has not received opportunities compatible with his salary status, something the player considers unfair.
TRADE DETAILS
Cruzeiro's proposal includes a base of 5 million euros, with target bonus clauses, which can reach R$40 million. The defender, in turn, is already preparing to end his time at Mais Querido and will not travel to the pre-season in the United States with the rest of the squad.
LACK OF SPACE IN THE CAST MOTIVATES DECISION
In 2024, Fabrício Bruno faced difficulties in maintaining his position in the starting team. Under the command of Filipe Luís, the defender lost space due to tactical issues. The coach made it clear that Fabrício's playing style does not suit his preferences, paving the way for his departure.
This reality , added to Fabrício's dissatisfaction with what he considers a "waste" of his efforts and salary, was decisive for his decision. The athlete believes that it is not fair to occupy one of the biggest players in the squad without contributing effectively on the field.
At 29 years old, Fabrício Bruno sees his return to Cruzeiro as an opportunity to get back on his feet. The club that revealed him offers the chance to return to being a starter, be closer to his family and, possibly, return to the Brazilian national team's radar.
