Flamengo prepares transfer sales and squad focus ahead of Libertadores clash

Flamengo is actively managing its roster during the transfer window, targeting the sale of several young talents such as forward Wallace Yan, right‑back Daniel Sales, centre‑back João Victor and attacking midfielder Lorran. The club previously profited from the €10 million transfer of 18‑year‑old Ryan Roberto to Shakhtar Donetsk. An offer of €9 million for right‑back Emerson Royal from England’s Aston Villa was rejected, as the club aims to keep key players for the upcoming season.

Coach Leonardo Jardim highlighted the importance of the forthcoming Libertadores round‑of‑16 match against Cruzeiro, calling the encounter a major Brazilian classic. He noted the need to adapt the squad after midfielder Lucas Paquetá suffered a thigh injury during the World Cup and mentioned ongoing negotiations with FIFA regarding the player's salary.

Overall, Flamengo seeks to balance financial gains from player sales with maintaining a competitive core as it prepares for domestic and continental competitions.
