Lorran's drop in value amid Flamengo exit for the UAE | OneFootball

Flamengo gem was once valued at more than R$ 50 million in 2025

Flamengo is in advanced talks to sell youngster Lorran to Sharjah, from the United Arab Emirates. Despite being one of the club’s top gems in recent years, the attacking midfielder failed to establish himself in Mengão’s first team. It’s no surprise, then, that he has suffered a major devaluation since 2025.

How much was Lorran worth in 2025?

In January 2025, Flamengo nearly completed Lorran’s sale to CSKA (RUS). The negotiated fee was 8 million euros, equivalent to R$ 50.3 million at the time, for 80% of his economic rights. A few days earlier, the Rubro-Negro had rejected a 5 million euro offer for the player.

How much is the deal with Sharjah worth?

Now, in September 2026, the value of the deal between Flamengo and Sharjah is around 1.3 million euros, about R$ 7.7 million. It is worth noting that the transfer has not been finalized yet, but both sides consider the talks to be at an advanced stage.

The drop in market value has an explanation. The lack of opportunities in the first team and poor performances at Pisa (ITA) contributed to Lorran losing value over time. As a result, the player will cost less than one-sixth of the amount negotiated with CSKA in 2025.

Lorran had an ‘astronomical’ release clause at Flamengo

In August 2024, Lorran renewed his contract with Flamengo until 2029. In addition, his release clause rose to 100 million euros, equivalent to R$ 593.83 million. However, the new deal did not bring the run of games on the pitch that had been expected.

After returning from his loan spell at Pisa, Lorran joined Flamengo’s mid-season training camp in Portugal. Even so, the youngster did not impress coach Leonardo Jardim and continued without getting minutes in the professional team.

What was Lorran’s journey like at Flamengo?

Lorran made his debut for the professional team in 2023, when he played his first matches in the Carioca. In 2024, the midfielder enjoyed the best spell of his career under Tite, when he got a run in the side. In total, he made 27 appearances, scored one goal, and provided three assists that season. However, still under that coach, the youngster was sent back to the under-20 team.

In addition, across all of his spells with the professional team, Lorran has three goals and three assists in 39 matches. At youth level, the 20-year-old has won virtually everything: the Club World Cup, Libertadores, Copa do Brasil, Brazilian Championship, and Carioca. He also lifted the South American U-17 Championship trophy with the Brazilian National Team.
