In recent days, Flamengo stirred up the transfer market by signing Pedro Henrique, from Paysandu. Amid the negotiations, Márcio Tuma, president of the Pará-based club, thanked the Rubro-Negro for the way it handled the talks and also commented on the partnership between the clubs for the upcoming transfer windows.
— Flamengo paid Pedro’s release clause, but not simply to free the player. There are two components to this deal. I thank president Bap, he was very cordial in the negotiations. We have launched a partnership, and may Pedro be the first deal made with Flamengo —, he said, before concluding:
— If Paysandu wants to continue being a developer of players, we have to understand that players have a cycle in their careers. I believe this transfer will be an open door between Flamengo and Paysandu, with player movement between the two teams in the next window; that was discussed at length —, Márcio Tuma concluded.
Last Friday (17), Flamengo completed the signing of defensive midfielder Pedro Henrique from Paysandu. In the deal, the Rubro-Negro paid R$ 3 million on a three-year contract.
Even after acquiring the economic rights to Pedro Henrique, the player will still continue playing for Paysandu until the end of the Pará club’s 2026 calendar. In addition, Flamengo did not charge any fee for the player to remain at the club from Pará.
Given this situation, Pedro Henrique is available for Paysandu’s match against Vasco in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. One of the team’s standouts in the 2026 season, the trend is for the 18-year-old defensive midfielder to start in this Tuesday’s match (21), which takes place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mangueirão.
Meanwhile, Flamengo takes the field on Wednesday (22) in the Copa do Brasil to face Vitória at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã. Therefore, as usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match on YouTube, as well as on its website and social media.
