Flamengo’s Samuel Lino signing among costliest in Brasileirão history | OneFootball

No Top-5, two of Flamengo's signings are among the most expensive

Flamengo is preparing to receive Samuel Lino next Tuesday (29), when the striker arrives in Brazil for medical exams and contract signing. If confirmed, the player's transfer will become the most valuable acquisition in the history of the red-black club and the fourth largest in the Brasileirão.

This is because the Most Beloved will pay 22 million euros (around R$ 144 million) to Atlético de Madrid (ESP) to have him. Previously, the club's largest purchase was Argentine midfielder 'Charly' Alcaraz, acquired from Southampton (ING) in 2024 for 20 million dollars (R$ 110.6 million).

And in the national scenario?

However, it is worth noting that Lino's value may reach 24 million euros (around R$ 156 million) due to bonus goals. So, the striker may become the third most expensive transfer in the history of the Brasileirão.

What are Samuel Lino's numbers in the last season?

The Brazilian striker established himself as a starter at Atlético de Madrid under the command of Diego Simeone. In the last season, he played 47 games, scoring four goals and providing eight assists, totaling 2,297 minutes on the field.

Does Flamengo still remain in the market?

The transfer window goes until September 2. Thus, after signing midfielder Saúl Ñíguez, right-back Emerson Royal, and striker Samuel Lino, Flamengo should continue to seek reinforcements. In addition, the club still wants to finalize the purchase of midfielder Jorge Carrascal, who belongs to Dínamo de Moscou (RUS).
