Flamengo Posts Record 2025 Revenue, Unveils Youth‑Focused Transfer Mandate

Overview

• - President Luiz Eduardo Baptista reported roughly R$2.07–2.1 billion in revenue for 2025, about €85 million (R$545.6 million) from player sales, and free cash near R$218 million.
• - Bap outlined a market stance that prioritizes signings under 26, sets a cap near 7% on intermediary commissions, and forbids player sales without payment guarantees.
• - The squad will be refreshed with targeted additions at goalkeeper, center back, winger and center forward, as leadership insists no Brazilian club will outspend Flamengo in upcoming windows.
• - The academy will undergo a reset in 2026 after extensive departures, with recruitment of technically gifted 16–17-year-olds and a new coach incentive of 3% tied to future sales, aiming for a rebound in 2027.
• - Off the field, negotiations to renew coach Filipe Luís continue with agent Jorge Mendes, and TV Globo issued a formal repudiation after Bap insulted one of its journalists during the presentation.
