Flamengo signed three players in 2026: Lucas Paquetá, Vitão, and Andrew. In a report released by the club, Flamengo detailed the amounts paid for each one. The Ninho academy product is the most expensive of them all and also the biggest investment in the history of the Rubro-Negro, at R$ 260 million.
Lucas Paquetá: 42 million euros to West Ham-ENG (R$ 260 million) Vitão: 5.5 million euros to Internacional (R$ 34 million) Andrew: 1.5 million euros to Gil Vicente-POR (R$ 9.2 million)
From Flamengo’s coffers, 5.5 million euros went to Internacional (R$ 34 million) for the signing of Vitão from Internacional. However, the center back “cost more,” as the Rubro-Negro forgave the debt owed by the club from Rio Grande do Sul for Thiago Maia, equivalent to 4.7 million euros (approximately R$ 30 million).
Third on the list, Andrew arrived at Flamengo to serve as backup to Agustín Rossi. The Rubro-Negro invested nearly R$ 10 million to sign the goalkeeper, who replaced Matheus Cunha in the squad. The trio will be available to coach Leonardo Jardim for this Thursday’s match (02).
In the middle of the year, Flamengo promises to be even more aggressive in the market. In a recent interview with FlamengoTV, president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, revealed that he wants to pursue a center forward worth around 40 million euros (R$ 239 million at the current exchange rate). In addition, the club is monitoring world champion Paulo Dybala, who will be out of contract in the middle of the year.
Of the trio signed in 2026, Paquetá is the most likely to start against Bragantino. After all, Arrascaeta was worn out after representing Uruguay during the FIFA international window. Vitão could also appear in the starting 11, since Danilo and Léo Pereira were with the Brazil national team. Andrew, meanwhile, will be on the bench.
Kickoff is at 9:30 p.m. Brasília time this Thursday (02), with full coverage from Coluna do Fla on its website, social media, and YouTube. In addition, Globo will broadcast the match free-to-air for much of Brazil, as will Premiere via pay-per-view.
