Multi-million claim: Flamengo accused Almería, dragged in Ronaldo | OneFootball

The Brazilian club is demanding payment of 1.8 million euros for Lázaro’s 2022 transfer and questioned the situation after the Portuguese star became a shareholder.

Flamengo issued a statement against Almería over a debt linked to the transfer of Lázaro Vinicius in 2022. Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently acquired 25% of the Spanish club, was also mentioned in the claim.

According to the Brazilian club, the amount owed totals 1.8 million euros and has been overdue for more than 590 days. The conflict arose from the failure to pay taxes resulting from the deal, which were ultimately paid by Flamengo.

The club stated that there is a clear contractual obligation holding Almería responsible for those payments. They also stressed that FIFA has already issued a ruling recognizing Flamengo’s right to reimbursement, although the Spanish club has still not complied.

The statement also criticized Almería’s stance, describing it as a deliberate delay that undermines legal certainty in football.

Lastly, Flamengo said it expects a resolution through the appropriate bodies, with CAS intervention, to ensure compliance with what was established.
