The high-level performance of Arrascaeta at Flamengo has impacted the entire world. According to the Saudi press, NEOM SC (SAU) is reportedly interested in the number 10 of the Rubro-Negro. However, the football director José Boto denied this on Monday (15).
“No one from NEOM has contacted us regarding the signing of Giorgian De Arrascaeta, and the news suggesting that negotiations are underway is inaccurate,” stated the director, adding that:
“Arrascaeta recently renewed his contract with Flamengo for three years and receives the highest salary on the team. Any club wishing to sign him will have to pay the release clause of 30 million euros (R$ 189 million),” Boto told 365Scores.
The Uruguayan midfielder took the lead role in the team in 2025. The star has so far scored 25 goals and provided 20 assists in 63 matches. Thus, Arrascaeta was voted the best player of the Libertadores and the Brasileirão.
There is one match left for Flamengo to close the 2025 season. This Wednesday (17), the Most Beloved will face PSG (FRA) in the final of the Club World Cup. The match kicks off at 2 PM (Brasília time) in Doha, Qatar.
Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will show the match details with on-site coverage by Simon Lédo on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, Globo (open channel), SporTV (closed), Cazé TV, and GE TV (YouTube) will broadcast the duel.
