Boto heads back to Rio to seal two deals at Flamengo | OneFootball

Flamengo works to renew contracts with Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta

After spending a few days in Portugal during the FIFA break, José Boto will return to Rio de Janeiro, landing at Galeão International Airport this Friday (12th) in the morning. The football director of Flamengo will have two missions upon his return to Brazil: negotiations with Filipe Luís and Arrascaeta.

According to information from journalist Venê Casagrande, José Boto returns to Rio de Janeiro to continue the season. Thus, the football director’s priorities are to work on renewing the contracts of coach Filipe Luís and midfielder Arrascaeta.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF FILIPE LUÍS AND ARRASCAETA?

Filipe Luís took charge of Flamengo at the end of 2024, in his first experience as head coach of a main team. After achieving success, the red-and-black club is looking to extend the contract of the manager, which ends in December of this year.

On the other hand, Arrascaeta has a contract with Flamengo until December of next year. However, given the standout season of the Uruguayan midfielder, the red-and-black team does not want to waste any time. The idea is to extend the contract and ward off potential suitors for the number 10.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Meanwhile, Flamengo remains focused on the next challenges of the season. With Arrascaeta available, the team led by Filipe Luís takes the field this Sunday (14th), at 4pm (Brasília time), in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.
