In modern football, it is common for clubs to split player purchases into installments. Because of this, Flamengo still has millions to receive from the deals involving Wesley, Charly Alcaraz, and Matheus Gonçalves. The breakdown was released by Mengão in a recent financial report.
From Wesley’s sale to Roma (ITA), Flamengo will still receive R$ 90 million. Rubro-Negro sold the right-back last year for 25 million euros (R$ 163 million at the July 2025 exchange rate). In other words, Mengão has not even pocketed half of the money for the academy product yet.
As for Charly Alcaraz, now at Everton (ENG), Flamengo will receive R$ 55.6 million. The Argentine left the Rio club for 15 million euros (R$ 96 million at the May 2025 exchange rate). It is worth noting that the midfielder initially left on loan at the start of last year, but the sale was finalized later.
Also in 2025, Flamengo sold Matheus Gonçalves for 8 million euros (R$ 50 million at the August 2025 exchange rate). However, R$ 32.7 million still has to come into the club’s coffers. The midfielder was transferred to Al Ahli (SAU), the current Asian champions.
Another major Flamengo sale in 2025, Gerson does not appear on the club’s list of ‘amounts receivable.’ That is because the midfielder was sold with Zenit, from Russia, paying the release clause in full upfront. So, the Most Beloved pocketed 25 million euros (approximately R$ 160 million at the time) last year.
To improve cash flow, Flamengo intends to negotiate players in the mid-year transfer window. Some names are highly valued on the market, such as Evertton Araújo and Gonzalo Plata. In addition, youth prospects are on Europe’s radar, such as winger Ryan Roberto, for whom an offer of 10 million euros (R$ 51 million) from Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) has already been rejected.
