The club said in a statement that Lucas Paquetá cost R$ 315.669 million, covering rights, signing-on and intermediation, confirming him as the most expensive signing in their history.

This window marked Flamengo’s biggest outlay. The breakdown was R$ 299.059 million on rights and signing-on, and R$ 16.610 million on intermediation.

Net payables to players stood at R$ 304 million at quarter-end, down from R$ 393.9 million in the first half after payments and sales. Player trading brought in R$ 106.9 million in the half, nearly double R$ 54.5 million a year earlier.

June closed with consolidated free cash of R$ 127.8 million, including R$ 89.8 million under Flamengo’s control, the rest with Fla-Flu Serviços S.A., operator of the Maracanã. That was R$ 63.9 million lower than at end-2025, with the level deemed safe for ongoing operations.

Operational net debt ended the period at R$ 280.2 million, a fall of R$ 207.9 million from the 31 March peak, reflecting receipts in the quarter and the settlement of obligations from the year’s first transfer window.
