The transfer window for Brazilian and European football closed this Tuesday (03). In the meantime, Flamengo announced four reinforcements and seven departures. In addition, the red-black club plans to renew contracts with some athletes. So, what is the situation with Pedro?
In summary, Pedro has a contract with Flamengo until December 2027. Therefore, as the number 9's contract is still valid for the next two years, the current Fla board is not thinking about talking to the striker for now.
This is because, Flamengo, currently, has other priorities. The club's idea is to renew with Arrascaeta and Filipe Luís. While the Uruguayan is linked with the Most Beloved until the end of 2026, the coach has a contract with Fla until December of this year.
At the beginning of 2025, already in the ‘Bap Era’, Flamengo started talks with Pedro's staff. However, the negotiations did not advance by order of the red-black president. The president's attitude, in fact, caused dissatisfaction in the player and his staff.
This is because, Pedro's staff understands that the old board (Landim administration) had left the possibility of renewing with the number 9 on the radar. In addition to extending the contract, the striker would receive a salary increase. However, with Bap at the helm of Fla, the scenario changed. Currently, the red-black board has no deadline to resume talks with the player.
Yes! In summary, in 2025 Pedro had his name high in the sports news. This is because, the press leaked a print in which a red-black director stated that he would accept selling the number 9 for 15 million euros (R$ 95 million).
Bothered by the situation, Pedro ended up dropping performance in training with the Flamengo squad. As a result, coach Filipe Luís publicly criticized the number 9's performance in training. At the time, the red-black coach described the striker's behavior as "regrettable and ridiculous".
Despite this, Filipe Luís's criticisms had an effect and Pedro bounced back at Flamengo. After being sidelined from two Fla games, the number 9 was listed for 11 matches. During this period, the striker scored seven goals and gave two assists.
291 games 183 victories 57 draws 51 losses 16,986 minutes on the field 147 goals 34 assists 181 direct participations in goals 11 titles
