Flamengo agree new deal with Arrascaeta, says journalist | OneFootball

Arrascaeta will stay at Flamengo until 2028

He’s staying! Flamengo and Arrascaeta agreed on a contract renewal this Monday (13). All terms have been settled, and only the signatures are pending. The Uruguayan star will remain at the club until 2028, with clauses that could extend it to 2029.

The agreement came after a meeting between Flamengo executive José Boto and Arrascaeta’s agent, Daniel Fonseca, at the Ninho do Urubu training center. The information comes from journalist Gabriel Reis, Paparazzo Rubro-Negro.

According to the journalist, Arrascaeta received a salary increase and now has one of the highest wages in the squad. Therefore, if Arrascaeta secures the automatic renewal for 2029, the Uruguayan will end his contract at 35 and be close to fulfilling a previously stated wish: to end his career at Flamengo.

DID THE FLAMENGO PRESIDENT ATTEND THE MEETING?

Although he was at Ninho do Urubu this Monday (13), Flamengo president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, did not take part in the meeting that finalized Arrascaeta’s renewal. However, he gave the green light for José Boto to close the deal.

The expectation is that Flamengo will mount a major marketing push to announce Arrascaeta’s renewal as soon as the signing takes place. However, the Rubro-Negro should wait until after the decisive matches against Botafogo and Palmeiras in the Brasileirão, and Racing (ARG) in the Libertadores.

ARRASCAETA ON THE FIELD?

With the new contract on track, Arrascaeta is available to Filipe Luís for Wednesday’s (15) match against Botafogo at Engenhão Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), with full coverage by Coluna do Fla on the website, social media, and YouTube.
