Arrascaeta breaks all-time assist record as Flamengo star hits new heights | OneFootball

Giorgian De Arrascaeta has reached new ground in the 2025 Brasileirão season, adding another record to his tenure at Flamengo. The Uruguayan midfielder became the all-time leader in assists in the points system era of the league, which began in 2003, according to national outlets and Flashscore. His output this year has underlined his continued influence for the Rio de Janeiro club.

Arrascaeta’s recent form has seen him directly involved in five goals over Flamengo’s last five league matches. He scored four times and provided one assist, including a crucial performance against Fortaleza, where he scored and assisted in a 1-0 win. Away at Palmeiras, he found the net again to secure another three points. These contributions have proved decisive in maintaining Flamengo’s momentum at the top end of the table.

His numbers across the competition reflect a pattern of impact: Arrascaeta is Flamengo’s top scorer in the Brasileirão this campaign, producing either a goal or assist every 107 minutes. This kind of consistency is rare among attacking midfielders in the current squad and positions him among the competition’s most effective players by minute.

The midfielder reached the 300-match milestone for Flamengo this year, closing in on club legends in terms of appearances and production. With 75 goals and 91 assists since joining, he has moved past Paolo Guerrero as the club’s second-highest foreign scorer in the league, now trailing only Petkovic in that category. He has also played a role in 14 trophies for Flamengo, a reflection of his prolonged influence since his arrival.

Arrascaeta’s current run of five consecutive matches with a goal involvement is one of his most productive periods since joining the club six years ago. At 31, his ability to dictate the flow of Flamengo’s play remains a feature, often providing the link between midfield and attack that opponents struggle to contain. Within the squad, few have matched his sustained sequence of decisive actions in such a short span.

While Flamengo have benefited from his form on the field, Arrascaeta’s contract renewal has reportedly stalled, catching the attention of the player’s representatives amid speculation about his future. With his performances continuing to generate discussion online and among supporters, the club's next steps regarding his situation are being watched closely by those around the league.

Arrascaeta’s status as a key figure is reflected not just in the numbers, but also in his continued importance to Flamengo’s structure and strategy. His recent achievements add another chapter to an already extensive résumé at the club.
