Brazil squad: Flamengo players could miss out on World Cup millions | OneFootball

Which Flamengo players could lose a millionaire sum in the United States?

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) has decided it will pay players a millionaire bonus for the World Cup. However, the Flamengo players who were called up will be required to pay tax on the amount in the United States.

This is because the CBF will receive an exemption on the FIFA payment related to the World Cup prize money. The players, however, will not get the same benefit. Therefore, they will have to pay a high amount in taxes in the United States.

Which Flamengo players are with the Brazilian National Team?

Flamengo released four players to the Brazilian National Team for the World Cup in the United States. They are: Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Danilo and Lucas Paquetá. For the World Cup opener, against Morocco, only Gávea’s number 4 is expected to start on the bench.

How much does FIFA intend to award in prize money in the event of a title?

FIFA will give 50 million dollars (R$ 251 million) to the CBF if the Brazilian National Team wins the World Cup. Of that amount, R$ 175 million will go to the players, while the rest will go to the coaching staff members.

It is worth noting that Danilo, of Flamengo, took part in the meeting with the CBF to define the prize money in the event of a title. In addition to the red-and-black defender, four other players were also present: Neymar, Casemiro, Alisson and Raphinha.
