Flamengo signed three players at the start of 2026

Flamengo invested heavily in the first transfer window of 2026. On that occasion, the Rubro-Negro completed the signings of three players: Lucas Paquetá, Andrew and Vitão. With that in mind, Coluna do Fla brings the figures Mengão paid for each new signing.

How much did each Flamengo signing cost?

In other words, according to the transparency report released by Flamengo, the club invested more than R$ 430 million in the first transfer window of 2026. Now, the expectation is that the Rubro-Negro will take it easier in the second transfer period of the year.

How did each Flamengo signing happen?

The most expensive signing in Flamengo’s history, Lucas Paquetá was announced on January 28. Negotiations with West Ham (ENG), the midfielder’s former club, developed after the player made it clear that he wanted to return to Fla following a difficult spell with the English side.

In addition, Flamengo announced the signing of Andrew on January 15. The Rubro-Negro went after the Gil Vicente (POR) goalkeeper after backup keeper Matheus Cunha said goodbye to Mengão to join Cruzeiro.

Finally, after a long ‘saga’ with Internacional, Flamengo announced Vitão’s arrival on January 9. The deal for the center-back also involved forgiving the debt owed by the team from Rio Grande do Sul for the signing of Thiago Maia, formerly of Fla.

What was Flamengo’s revenue in the first half of 2026?

Flamengo closed the first half of 2026 with revenue of R$ 839 million. The figure, in fact, represents a 9.5% increase compared to the same period in 2025, even without the extraordinary R$ 155.8 million prize money from participating in the Club World Cup.

In addition, the expectation is that Flamengo will post even higher revenue in the second half of this year. That is because, beyond possible deals in this transfer window, the Rubro-Negro is in the hunt for the Brasileirão and Libertadores titles.

What are Flamengo’s transfer priorities?

Now, Flamengo wants to bring in three players to strengthen the squad in this transfer window. So far, the only name that has ‘leaked’ is Thiago Almada, former Botafogo player and Atlético de Madrid (ESP) midfielder. The Rubro-Negro, in fact, already has advanced talks with the Argentine.

In addition, the club’s board wants to sign a winger and a center-forward. The idea is to bring in a young player to rotate with Pedro in certain matches, given that the No. 9 is an undisputed starter in Leonardo Jardim’s team.
