It’s official: Flamengo announce Varela contract extension | OneFootball

Guillermo Varela had a contract until December 2025, but renewed until the end of 2027

On Friday (15), Flamengo announced the contract renewal of right-back Guillermo Varela until December 2027. Therefore, the number 2, who had a contract until the end of this year, will receive a salary increase from the club.

“I'm very happy to stay here, for a longer time with this shirt, with this club. It was a peaceful negotiation by both parties. They wanted me to stay, and I wanted to stay. So everything was done very calmly,” says Varela in a publication made by Flamengo.

Did Filipe Luís request Varela's renewal?

At 32 years old, Guillermo Varela has established himself as one of the most used pieces by Filipe Luís at Flamengo. Although he is a right-back by trade, the Uruguayan has performed roles on the left side of the defense and also in midfield. In addition to his versatility on the field, the player maintains a frequent presence in the Uruguayan National Team call-ups and, moreover, receives great appreciation from the red-black technical committee.

At Flamengo since 2022, the number 2 has played 111 matches and scored three goals for the Rubro-Negro. Born in Montevideo, Uruguay, Varela is an important part of the squad, which makes Filipe Luís see great potential in the player.

What is Flamengo's next game?

With Varela available, the Most Beloved faces Internacional, starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), for the 20th round of the Brasileirão, at Beira-Rio. As usual, the Coluna do Fla will cover the match.
