Flamengo confirm Vitão signing | OneFootball

Vitão will sign a contract with Flamengo for four seasons, that is, until December 2029

The first transfer window of 2026 has begun, and Flamengo is already moving to strengthen the squad. In this context, the red-black club confirmed this Wednesday (07) the signing of defender Vitão, who arrives to bolster the defense.

Although the signing has not yet been officially announced, Flamengo confirmed that the 25-year-old defender will join the club. Vitão's presentation press conference is scheduled for this Friday (09) at Ninho do Urubu.

Alongside Flamengo's football director, José Boto, the defender will speak to the press starting at 2:30 PM (Brasília time). Vitão joins Rubro-Negro after standing out at Internacional.

HOW MUCH DID FLAMENGO PAY FOR VITÃO?

Flamengo completed the signing of Vitão by reaching an agreement with Internacional for about 10 million euros (approximately R$ 65 million at the current exchange rate). Additionally, the red-black club ‘forgave’ the debt of the Gaucho team related to Thiago Maia, accelerating the completion of the deal.

WHAT WAS INTERNACIONAL'S DEBT WITH FLAMENGO FOR THIAGO MAIA?

Internacional bought Thiago Maia for 4 million euros (R$ 21.6 million at the time) in July 2024, with payment in 10 installments. Until the agreement for Vitão was closed, the Gaucho club had not yet fully settled the debt, which, with adjustments, amounted to about 4.7 million euros (approximately R$ 29.5 million). Flamengo chose to forgive this amount to facilitate the signing of the defender.

WHEN WILL FLAMENGO'S SQUAD REASSEMBLE?

Currently, Flamengo players are enjoying their vacation after a victorious 2025 season, marked by winning major titles such as the Brasileirão and the Libertadores. Thus, the reassembly is scheduled for next Monday (12), marking the start of preparations for the 2026 season commitments.
