Flamengo press on with renewals as 2027 plan forms, Danilo deal most advanced | OneFootball

After resolving Pulgar, Flamengo have pivoted to renewals, with Danilo the most advanced and talks begun with Pedro and Léo Pereira, shaping their 2027 plan.

According to Globo.com, the club aim to finalise Danilo’s paperwork in the coming days, extending him to December 2027, when he plans to retire. He initially declined a CBF role with Carlo Ancelotti.

He could revisit that next year if it remains available, and although Flamengo have discussed a post-retirement role, nothing formal is on the table.

Pedro is in early talks over an extension beyond 2027. Progress after his knee injury return stalled pending president Bap’s approval, and his 2023 renewal left his salary behind team-mates.

Léo Pereira has opened talks after an earlier indication of a pay rise failed to materialise, and his market value and importance have lifted his priority.

Others promised increases could renew too. Rossi, contracted to 2027, was flagged for an extension after a strong end to 2025. Evertton Araújo, tied to 2028, impressed covering absences, and the club plan to value him.

The drive supports planning for 2027. Pulgar and Alex Sandro are secured, and Bruno Henrique has a one-year deal with scope to keep renewing, while Anthony Valencia and Joaquín Freitas are viewed as medium or long-term pieces for next year.

Recent headlines on big-name signings and wages have irked players awaiting pay rises. Flamengo are not rushing, focusing on Thursday at 21:30 Brasília time against Independiente del Valle in the Libertadores quarters, while still pushing renewals.
