Fluminense eye up to R$ 200 million in sales, open to departures mid-year

Fluminense has already outlined its financial planning for the season and expects to raise a little over R$ 200 million from player sales in 2026. This information was confirmed by the executive Mattheus Montenegro, who highlighted the importance of negotiations in the management model of Brazilian football.

According to Montenegro, the club will remain attentive to the market and may negotiate athletes if advantageous offers arise throughout the year, especially during the mid-season transfer window.

— Any football club in Brazil has an important part of its revenue coming from the sale of athletes. Fluminense has been like this in recent years and will continue to be because that's how it works in world football, especially in Brazilian football. So, the budget forecasts a little over 200 million in player sales — he stated.

The executive also explained that, despite the budget forecast, the club is not in a hurry to negotiate and will analyze each proposal individually.

— Certainly, there will be proposals in the middle of the year, and we will analyze and decide if they are good proposals or not. Fluminense has already received some proposals this year, and we chose not to accept them. If better proposals come in the middle of the year, departures may occur — he added.

Montenegro also recalled the strategy adopted in 2023, when the club gave up significant sales to prioritize sporting performance, a decision that culminated in winning the Copa Libertadores da América.

— It was an exception. We made the decision not to make any sales, prioritizing the Libertadores. The biggest offer was for André, who was a pillar of the team, and we understood that his departure would weaken the team — he explained.

Finally, the executive emphasized that financial planning is dynamic and can be adjusted throughout the season, including replacements in case of departures or compensations from other revenues, such as prizes.
