Flamengo set for multi-million sale of player to US club | OneFootball

Which player is leaving Flamengo?

Flamengo continues to be active in the transfer market at the start of this season. This time, the Rubro-Negro has arranged the million-dollar sale of defender Iago to Orlando City, in the United States.

Currently, Flamengo and Orlando City (USA) are handling bureaucratic details to finalize the deal. In the last meeting between the clubs, it was agreed that the U.S. team will pay 1.4 million dollars (about R$ 7.3 million at the current exchange rate).

It is worth noting that Flamengo owns 60% of the defender's economic rights, while Volta Redonda holds the other 40%. Thus, the Rubro-Negro will receive around R$ 4 million. Finally, the Mengão will retain a percentage in case of a future sale. The information was initially disclosed by journalist Ângelo Furtado and the values by ‘GE’.

HOW WAS IAGO'S JOURNEY AT FLAMENGO?

Iago is a multi-champion in Flamengo's youth categories. As captain of the under-20 team in recent seasons, the defender won several titles and scored goals that became part of the club's history. In the Club World Cup of the category against Barcelona (ESP) in 2025, the defender was a crucial piece in Mengão's victory at Maracanã.

With the age limit exceeded in the under-20, Iago has not yet had a sequence of opportunities with Filipe Luís in the professional team. With his contract ending in December this year, the defender is close to saying goodbye to the club.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT GAME?

While Iago defines his future, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (04) to face Internacional, for the second round of the Brasileirão. In summary, the match kicks off at 7 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã.

Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, shows the details of the match with the most Rubro-Negro coverage on the internet, with live coverage by Rodrigo Lima and Rock Hudson on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media. Finally, the match will be broadcast on Premiere via pay-per-view.
