Flamengo set strategy for new signings in next transfer window | OneFootball

Flamengo should invest in a big name to rotate the No. 9 position with Pedro

About to enter the break in the schedule for the World Cup, Flamengo is already thinking about the next opportunities in the market. In the meantime, the Rubro-Negro club has set its priorities for signings after the Club World Cup.

After the arrival of Leonardo Jardim, Flamengo still has a center forward as its top signing priority for the next transfer window. It is worth noting that Fla had already treated the position as one of its priorities since the days of Filipe Luís. However, at the time, the Rubro-Negro club chose to bring forward other signings, such as a goalkeeper, a center back and a midfielder.

Thus, the priority remains a ‘No. 9’ to compete for the spot with Pedro, and the profile remains the same as the one sought in the previous window. In other words, a more mobile center forward who attacks space. At that time, Flamengo tried for Kaio Jorge and Taty Castellanos, but made no progress.

Now, in addition to a ‘No. 9’, the club is also expected to sign a left back. As such, one of the targets is Kaiki Bruno, from Cruzeiro. Finally, an attacking midfielder may also appear on Fla’s list of signings for the next transfer window.

Who did Fla sign in the first window?

In short, in the first transfer window of 2026, Flamengo signed goalkeeper Andrew, center back Vitão, as well as midfielder Lucas Paquetá. Therefore, in the next signing period, the Rubro-Negro club will mainly go for a center forward and a left back.

Total: R$ 334.4 million

When does the next window open?

It is important to note that the second transfer window will be open from July 20 to September 11. Therefore, Flamengo is focused on solving its lack of a center forward and at left back, despite the movement to renew with Alex Sandro. In short, Fla’s idea is to negotiate Ayrton Lucas and sign a player to replace the departure of the No. 6.
