Flamengo is trying every possible move to sign Kaio Jorge in this transfer window. In its efforts to close this deal, the Rubro-Negro has outbid other teams in terms of the amounts offered to Cruzeiro for the striker.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the highest official offer made by foreign clubs was 20 million euros (about R$ 127 million at the current exchange rate).
At the moment, Flamengo's proposal stands out as the main one for Kaio Jorge, since the Rubro-Negro offered 24 million euros (R$ 153 million) in cash + Everton Cebolinha, who is valued at 8 million euros (R$ 51 million).
Even with these million-dollar amounts, Cruzeiro rejected Flamengo's current offer for Kaio Jorge. In this type of deal, the Minas Gerais club made it clear that it accepts the cash amount, but requests the inclusion of Luiz Araújo. The Rubro-Negro, however, is not interested in letting go of the striker.
While the board is working to sign Kaio Jorge, Flamengo already has its first reinforcement for 2026. This is defender Vitão. The defender has undergone medical exams and only a few details remain before he is officially announced. In addition, the Rubro-Negro is still trying to sign a goalkeeper. Gabriel Brazão, from Santos, and Lucas Morisco, from Coritiba, are both on the Mengão's radar.
