The transfer window is not yet closed, but Flamengo has already made some good moves so far. This is because, at the current moment in 2026, the Rubro-Negro holds the second largest signing in Brazilian football, the defender Vitão.
The top spot in Brazil this year belongs to the purchase of Gerson. This is because Cruzeiro paid 27 million euros (R$ 170 million at the current rate) to Zenit (RUS). However, the amount could reach 30 million euros (R$ 188 million).
Currently, the defender Vitão is the biggest investment of the Rubro-Negro, who paid 10.2 million euros (R$ 63.5 million). Of the total amount, however, 4 million euros are related to a debt that Internacional had, but the Most Beloved forgave.
The list of values is a survey by Transfermarkt, which does not yet include Lucas Paquetá at Fla. However, if the deal between Rubro-Negro and West Ham (ENG) materializes, the 45 million euros (R$ 280.3 million) invested will take the top spot.
The representatives met this Friday (16). Without progress, however, a new conversation is scheduled for this Saturday (17) to reach a common ground for the youth product of the Most Beloved, who intends to pay up to 45 million euros.
