Flamengo decide future of 2 signings for 2026 | OneFootball

Rayan Lucas and Lorran return to Flamengo after a spell in Europe

Flamengo have gained two “homegrown” reinforcements for the remainder of the 2026 season. That is because, after a loan spell in European football, Lorran and Rayan Lucas are back with the Rubro-Negro. However, Mengão do not want to keep the players.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Rayan Lucas and Lorran will not have space in Flamengo’s first team. Therefore, the players’ representatives are already looking for a new destination for them.

What is Lorran’s situation?

Lorran was playing on loan at Pisa (Italy). In the contract agreed between Flamengo and the Italian club, there were clauses related to the performance of the Ninho academy product. However, since the player did not meet the agreed targets, the Italian club will not exercise the purchase option.

It is worth noting that Lorran’s contract with Flamengo runs until December 2029. In other words, the midfielder still belongs to the Rubro-Negro for another three years. In this way, the Most Beloved are studying the possibilities regarding the youngster’s future.

And what about Rayan Lucas?

Rayan Lucas arrived at Sporting (Portugal) with high expectations, managed to move up from the B team to the senior team, but failed to establish himself over time. The youngster’s contract with Flamengo runs until the end of 2028, and he also has a release clause of 50 million euros for foreign clubs (almost R$ 300 million at the current exchange rate).

What is Flamengo’s plan?

At the moment, the Flamengo squad are enjoying a vacation due to the break in the calendar because of the World Cup. Mengão’s next match in 2026 is scheduled for July 22, against Chapecoense, in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.

Before that, however, Flamengo will hold a mid-season training camp in Portugal, including three friendlies. Thus, on Portuguese soil, the Rubro-Negro will face Falkirk (Scotland), Birmingham (England), and Benfica.
