The Brazilian football club calendar is about to pause due to the October FIFA Date. In the meantime, Flamengo is expected to take advantage of the break in games to focus on renewing the contract with Arrascaeta.
In summary, Flamengo had reached an agreement to renew Arrascaeta's contract at the beginning of the year. However, negotiations stalled in May. Now, Fla is moving to resume talks with the Uruguayan midfielder's representatives about extending the contract.
Thus, the expectation is that the renewal negotiations between Flamengo and Arrascaeta will resume next week, during the FIFA Date break. This is because extending the contract with the number 10 is one of the top priorities for the Most Beloved at the moment.
The information was initially disclosed by GE. It is worth remembering that Flamengo has already presented a proposal to Arrascaeta. On the other hand, the midfielder also expressed some desires to the club. Therefore, a new meeting will be scheduled.
Currently, Arrascaeta's contract with Flamengo runs until the end of 2026. In fact, the length of the new contract is one of the main points of the renewal discussions. This is because the Uruguayan has publicly expressed his interest in retiring with the Sacred Mantle.
As a result, Flamengo is now considering offering a contract for three more seasons to Arrascaeta. This would mean that the midfielder could sign with Fla until the end of 2029. It is important to note that this topic is still being debated internally at the club.
Signed by Flamengo back in 2019, Arrascaeta has impressive numbers with the Sacred Mantle. Initially, the Uruguayan wore the number 14 jersey. However, after Gabigol's departure, the midfielder took on the historic number: 10.
Since arriving at Flamengo, Arrascaeta has scored 92 goals and provided 102 assists to teammates in 337 matches played. Thus, the number 10 has directly contributed to 194 goals for the Most Beloved.
It is important to highlight that in 2025, Arrascaeta is Flamengo's top scorer of the season. So far, the Uruguayan has scored 19 goals and provided nine assists in 47 matches played. Thus, the number 10 has 28 direct goal contributions with the Sacred Mantle this year.
With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo returns to the field on Thursday (02), when they face Cruzeiro in the 26th round of the Brasileirão. The teams will face off starting at 8:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.
