Flamengo to meet Filipe Luís’ agent, discuss coach’s renewal | OneFootball

José Boto's idea is to meet with Flamengo's coach's agent after the game against Corinthians

Reported by: Mônica Alves

Football Director of Flamengo, José Boto met with Filipe Luís's agent in Lisbon, during a trip to Portugal. Now, the director and the coach's agent have another meeting scheduled.

According to the investigation by Coluna do Fla, José Boto and Filipe Luís's agent will meet again after the game against Corinthians. In summary, the match is scheduled for September 28th.

Therefore, José Boto's meeting with Filipe Luís's representative should take place at the beginning of October. In the meantime, Flamengo will have already had the quarterfinals of the Libertadores defined.

What happened?

José Boto himself confirmed that he spoke with Filipe Luís's agent while traveling to Europe. "Last week, in Portugal, I met with his representative to talk about the renewal. We agreed to stay in touch to see when we will reach an agreement," he said.

What is the obstacle in the negotiations?

So far, the biggest 'obstacle' in the contract renewal negotiations between the parties is the termination fee. As the coach has been courted by international football, Flamengo wants to protect itself.

In addition, Flamengo and Filipe Luís are still debating the salary adjustment and the contract length. Initially, the proposal was a contract until the end of 2026, with the possibility of automatic renewal depending on the goals achieved.

Finally, it's worth mentioning that Filipe Luís's contract with Flamengo is until December of this year. Thus, the club's expectation is to reach an agreement with the coach as soon as possible.

However, Filipe Luís may decide to determine his own future and respond to Flamengo only at the end of the 2025 season.
