Agent stalls Filipe Luís talks with Flamengo, here’s the snag | OneFootball

Until when is Filipe Luís's contract with Flamengo?

Filipe Luís has not yet renewed his contract with Flamengo, despite being tied only until the end of this year. One of the reasons is the stance of the coach's agent, Jorge Mendes.

According to information from ESPN, Jorge Mendes, Filipe Luís's agent, wants the coach to stay in Brazil. However, the idea is that the red-and-black commander receives a salary at the level of a 'Libertadores champion coach'.

Jorge Mendes believes that Filipe Luís's value increased with the Libertadores title over Palmeiras. Furthermore, the coach could win the Brazilian Championship this Wednesday (03), further highlighting himself as one of the great coaches in Brazil.

Does Jorge Mendes want a low release clause?

Finally, one request from the agent is that Filipe Luís has an accessible release clause for European clubs. This is because the coach still aims to manage a European team in his career.

Flamengo, however, thinks differently. The goal of the Red-and-Black is to extend Filipe Luís's contract for a few more seasons with a high release clause, to avoid problems if any European club wants to hire the coach.
