Flamengo remain focused on the final stretch of the 2026 season, competing for the Copa Libertadores and Brasileirão titles. However, Mengão have already begun planning the squad for 2027. With that in mind, the club’s board has defined a list of contract renewal priorities.
Danilo, Pedro, Léo Pereira, Agustín Rossi, and Evertton Araújo are the main names on Flamengo’s renewal list. The experienced center-back, in fact, has the most advanced talks. As a result, the No. 13 is close to extending his deal, currently valid until the end of this year, through December 2027.
It is worth noting that Danilo received an offer to join a Technical Council linked to the Brazilian National Team. The invitation included helping coach Carlo Ancelotti during the cycle leading up to the next World Cup, in 2030. However, the defender chose to remain at Flamengo for another season.
Pedro is in the early stages of talks with Flamengo over a contract extension, with his current deal running until the end of 2027. So far, the only contact had come shortly after his return from the serious knee injury he suffered at the end of 2024.
Léo Pereira is also under contract until the end of 2027. However, because of his increased market value, the center-back has moved up Flamengo’s list of priorities. In addition, the defender received an indication a few months ago about a salary increase, but the agreement was not finalized.
After finishing 2025 on a high note, Rossi received a signal from the board to extend his current contract, which expires at the end of 2027. As a result, the Argentine goalkeeper is also on the club’s list of priorities for the next cycle.
Meanwhile, Evertton Araújo is under contract until December 2028. The midfielder filled in well during absences in his position, although he returned to a backup role after Pulgar came back. Even so, Flamengo see the player as having growth potential, are counting on a strong future sale, and intend to increase his value within the squad.
Meanwhile, Flamengo remain focused on the Copa Libertadores. This Thursday (17), Leonardo Jardim’s team face Independiente del Valle (ECU) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã in the second leg of the quarterfinals.
As such, ESPN, on pay TV, and Disney+, via streaming, will broadcast Flamengo’s match. In addition, Coluna do Fla will cover every detail of the clash on its website, on YouTube, and across its social media.
