Sport is monitoring the situation of the midfielder Zé Lucas, a standout from the youth academy and one of the main young players in the Brasileirão. Amidst reports that Flamengo had made an offer in 2025, the Most Beloved denied the news.

According to information from journalist Mauro Cezar Pereira, Flamengo praised Zé Lucas but assured that they never made an official offer for the Sport midfielder. Thus, the red-black club ended the rumors about a possible investment at the end of 2025.

WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF THE SITUATION?

On Wednesday (07), journalist Venê Casagrande reported that Flamengo made an official offer to Sport at the end of last season for the midfielder Zé Lucas. The amount offered was 5 million euros (about R$ 31.4 million at the current exchange rate).

WHO IS ZÉ LUCAS?

Zé Lucas emerged at Sport in 2024, being one of the main names of the club in the Série B of the Brazilian Championship. After the promotion, the 17-year-old continued to be decisive and important for the Pernambuco team.

As a result, Zé Lucas was called up to the Brazilian U-17 National Team and served as captain during the 2025 World Cup campaign. Thus, the athlete increased his value, caught the attention of European clubs, and is not expected to remain at Sport in 2026, when he will turn 18.
