Flamengo announce Alex Sandro contract renewal

What are the details of Alex Sandro’s new contract with Flamengo?

Flamengo announced the contract renewal of full-back Alex Sandro. On the verge of completing two years wearing the Sacred Jersey, the number 26 has extended his deal through December 2027.

“These two years have been very special. They went by quickly, because life at Flamengo is very dynamic and we are always focused on working and chasing new goals. My family has also adapted very well to Rio de Janeiro, we are happy, and that carried significant weight in the decision to renew. I’m very happy to remain at this great club and continue fighting for titles.”

Alex Sandro arrived at Flamengo in August 2024 and has already won a title. That’s because, that year, the Rubro-Negro were crowned Copa do Brasil champions over Atlético-MG at Arena MRV.

Then, in 2025, Alex Sandro was part of the title-winning campaigns in the Carioca Championship, the Copa Libertadores, and the Brasileirão. Before the World Cup, however, the left-back had also taken part in this year’s state championship title.

WHAT DID JOSÉ BOTO SAY ABOUT ALEX SANDRO’S CONTRACT RENEWAL?

“In addition to the technical quality and tactical importance Alex Sandro has for the team, there is an aspect that often does not show for those who only watch the game. He is a reference point for the squad, a player who brings experience, helps keep the group united, and knows how to deal with the toughest moments of the season. When we decided on the renewal, we took all of that into consideration, because his importance goes far beyond what happens on the pitch.”

WHAT IS ALEX SANDRO’S CURRENT SITUATION AT FLAMENGO?

Before renewing his contract with Flamengo, Alex Sandro was on duty with the Brazilian National Team at the World Cup. As a result, the player was given a few days off before returning to training with the Rubro-Negro.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Alex Sandro renews his contract, Flamengo’s squad is preparing to return to Brasileirão action. Thus, on Wednesday (22), Mengão faces Chapecoense at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Arena Condá. As a result, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, will bring all the details of the clash on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
