Flamengo Invests R$ 144 Million in Samuel Lino, with Possibility of Bonuses that Raise the Total Value; Striker Arrives on Tuesday (29)

The Flamengo is preparing to receive Samuel Lino next Tuesday (29), when the striker will arrive in Brazil to undergo medical exams and sign a contract. The red-black club will establish a four-year bond with the player, with the expected termination in mid-2029. The Coluna do Fla reporting team has uncovered this information.

To conclude the negotiation, Flamengo will pay 22 million euros (approximately R$ 144 million) to Atlético de Madrid (ESP), divided into three installments: one upfront and two scheduled for 2026. With performance-based bonuses, the total value can reach 25 million euros (approximately R$ 163 million).

SAMUEL LINO BECOMES THE MOST EXPENSIVE REINFORCEMENT IN FLAMENGO'S HISTORY?

By closing the signing of Samuel Lino, Flamengo surpasses its own record for investment in reinforcements. Previously, the club's largest purchase was Argentine midfielder ‘Charly’ Alcaraz, acquired from Southampton (ING) in 2024 for 20 million dollars (R$ 110.6 million). After failing to establish himself in Filipe Luís' team, the club negotiated the player this season with Everton (ING) for 15 million euros (R$ 96 million), plus 3 million euros in bonuses (R$ 19 million).

FLAMENGO OUTDID EUROPEAN COMPETITION?

The negotiation for Samuel Lino faced challenges due to the payment method, as European clubs like Napoli (ITA) and Sporting (POR) also showed interest. Nevertheless, Flamengo made the best offer, which pleased Atlético de Madrid. The Spanish club agreed to receive part of the value upfront and the rest in two installments.

IS FLAMENGO STILL ACTIVE IN THE MARKET?

The transfer window remains open until September 2. After signing midfielder Saúl Ñíguez, right-back Emerson Royal, and striker Samuel Lino, Flamengo continues to seek reinforcements. Additionally, the club is working to finalize the purchase of midfielder Jorge Carrascal, who belongs to Dínamo de Moscou (RUS).
