See how much Flamengo will pocket from ex-player’s move to Saudi club | OneFootball

Almería, from Spain, accepted a 5 million euro offer for Lázaro

Flamengo will profit from yet another transfer of a player developed at the club. Attacking midfielder Lázaro left Almería, from Spain, to play for Al-Najma, in Saudi Arabia. This Wednesday (10), the Spanish club finalized the sale of the 23-year-old athlete for 5 million euros (about R$ 32 million).

In the sale carried out in 2022, Flamengo received 7 million euros (R$ 36 million at the time) and was entitled to 30% of a future sale, which ended up not happening. Thus, Rubro-Negro will receive 2.8% from FIFA's solidarity mechanism. In the end, from the R$ 32 million involved in the deal, Mengo will receive 140 thousand euros (about R$ 896 thousand at the current exchange rate).

HOW MUCH WILL FLAMENGO PROFIT?

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Almería kept 15% of the rights for a future resale. Meanwhile, Flamengo will receive 1.5 million euros (about R$ 9.5 million) due to the player's resale clause.

In addition, Rubro-Negro will also profit from FIFA's solidarity mechanism, which allocates a percentage to the clubs that developed the player. In total, Flamengo is expected to collect more than R$ 10 million from Lázaro's transfer, reinforcing the importance of the youth system as a constant source of revenue.

HOW WAS LÁZARO'S TIME AT FLAMENGO?

Having come up through the youth ranks at Flamengo, Lázaro was promoted to the senior team in the 2020 season, making his debut in a 1-1 draw with Palmeiras in September of that year. In the ‘main squad’ of Mengão, the attacking midfielder played in 62 matches, in which he scored eight goals and provided eight assists. He also took part in the campaigns that won four titles: one Libertadores, one Copa do Brasil, one Brasileirão, and one Campeonato Carioca.
