Arrascaeta signs new Flamengo deal until 2028: "So happy" | OneFootball

The Rubro-Negra nation received great news this weekend. Idol of Flamengo, Giorgian de Arrascaeta renewed with the Rio club until December 2028. The new agreement also includes an automatic extension of the contract for one more season, upon meeting certain goals.

Arrascaeta signed the contract renewal this Saturday at CT George Helal, alongside the club's football director, José Boto. The Uruguayan highlighted his feelings about staying with the team where he became an idol and valued the extension of his contract.

“It’s one of the happiest pieces of news in my career. I always wanted to stay at Flamengo and continue writing this story. I am very grateful to the Nation, who have always supported me, and I want to keep giving back on the field. The focus now is on the final stretch of the season, but Flamengo has always been my priority,” celebrated the player.

Arrascaeta arrived at Flamengo in 2019 and became one of the main references of the squad. The midfielder has played 348 matches for Mengão, with 95 goals, 104 assists, and 15 titles won – among them, two Libertadores (2019 and 2022), two Brazilian Championships (2019 and 2020), and two Copa do Brasil (2022 and 2024).

Recently, Arrascaeta also reached a special milestone for Flamengo. With the goal scored last Wednesday against São Paulo, the Uruguayan became the highest-scoring foreign player in the history of the Rubro-Negro. He surpassed the Argentine Doval, with 94 goals.

“We are writing a very beautiful story. My mindset is always to give my best, so that when the time comes to end my career, I can look back and see everything we achieved together,” concluded the midfielder.

Arrascaeta’s contract renewal was also widely celebrated by José Boto, who highlighted the player’s cooperation and desire to remain at the club.

“It is a great joy for the Nation and for Arrascaeta. It was an important and smooth process, mainly because of his desire to stay. That desire was decisive. Idols are increasingly rare in world football, and Arrascaeta’s renewal means a lot to Flamengo. It’s a perfect match,” he said.
