José Boto unsure if Filipe Luís will stay at Flamengo | OneFootball

Flamengo and Filipe Luís Have Not Yet Agreed on Renewal

With Flamengo winning the Copa Libertadores da América, the Rubro-Negro is expected to move forward with the contract renewal for coach Filipe Luís. However, since the agreement has not yet been finalized, the football director of Mengão, José Boto, did not guarantee the coach’s stay for next season, as the current contract is valid until December 2025.

“We can’t confirm (Filipe Luís’s stay). We haven’t talked yet. We’ll do that starting Wednesday. It could also happen during the Club World Cup (in Qatar, in December),” said José Boto in an interview with the subscription channel ESPN.

“The emotion is great, even if it doesn’t seem like it. It’s the crowning of hard, well-done work that shows in the victories,” added the Portuguese director, referring to the Copa Libertadores da América 2025 title, last Saturday (29).

WHAT IS FILIPE LUÍS’S CONTRACT SITUATION?

Flamengo has already sent a salary proposal to Filipe Luís for a contract renewal. On the other hand, the coach sent a counterproposal, and the situation is under negotiation. The manager wants to stay at the club, but he has never hidden his dream of working in Europe.

Because of the final stretch of the Libertadores and the Brasileirão, Flamengo put the talks on hold. However, as highlighted by José Boto, negotiations are expected to resume soon, during the Intercontinental Cup, the Club World Cup, in Qatar, in December.

TIME TO WIN ANOTHER TITLE, RIGHT, FILIPE LUÍS?

Filipe Luís could gain another ‘great argument’ to negotiate his contract renewal. If they beat Ceará on Wednesday (03) at Maracanã, Flamengo will become nine-time champions of the Brasileirão. If they don’t win, the Rubro-Negro still has a chance to take the trophy, as long as Palmeiras slips up against Atlético-MG, away from home, on the same day and time (9:30 p.m.).
