Flamengo Extends Filipe Luís to 2027, Seals Vitão Deal as Kaio Jorge Pursuit Continues

Overview

• Flamengo confirmed Filipe Luís’ renewal through the end of 2027, closing a tense negotiation over the pay structure for his assistants.
• The final agreement was struck on the club’s last offer of about €4 million per year net for the coach and his staff, which the board framed as consistent with its governance policy.
• Defender Vitão arrives from Internacional on a deal reported at roughly €10 million plus forgiveness of a R$30 million debt tied to Thiago Maia, with a contract running to 2029.
• Flamengo has made multiple offers for Kaio Jorge, including €22 million plus Everton Cebolinha and a separate €30 million bid, both rejected as Cruzeiro publicly held firm at €50 million.
• With the bench secured, Flamengo has shifted back to 2026 reinforcements, keeping a central striker as priority and monitoring Taty Castellanos after Lazio rebuffed a €22 million proposal.
