Flamengo plans to finalize contract renewal with Arrascaeta as soon as possible

Flamengo remains focused on the last months of the 2025 season but is already starting the planning for 2026. Thus, the club's management has set a priority for the coming weeks: renewing the contract of Arrascaeta. The Uruguayan, in fact, was candid and revealed that the 'soap opera' is nearing its end.

— We are talking, almost everything is set — said Arrascaeta, in an interview with ‘ESPN’. Currently, the Uruguayan's contract with Flamengo runs until the end of 2026. Therefore, Mengão is considering extending the midfielder's contract until 2029.

What are Arrascaeta's numbers at Flamengo?

Signed by Flamengo back in 2019, Arrascaeta has impressive numbers with the Sacred Mantle. Initially, the Uruguayan wore the number 14 jersey. However, after Gabigol's departure, the midfielder took on a historic number: the 10.

Since joining Flamengo, Arrascaeta has scored 92 goals and provided 102 assists to his teammates in 337 matches played. Thus, the number 10 has directly contributed to 194 goals for the Most Beloved.

How is Arrascaeta's performance in 2025?

In 2025, Arrascaeta is experiencing one of the best seasons of his career. So far, the Uruguayan is Flamengo's top scorer of the year and the second in the Brasileirão top scorers ranking. With 49 matches played, the midfielder has 19 goals and 13 assists.

What is Flamengo's next match?

With Arrascaeta available, Flamengo continues its preparation to face Botafogo. The Carioca classic takes place next Wednesday (15), at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at Estádio Nilton Santos, for the 28th round of the Brasileirão.

Thus, as tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring the best coverage on the internet, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, the Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Flamengo vs. Botafogo match.
