Boto also revealed some intriguing news regarding player transfers. Flamengo has been skillfully maneuvering its assets regarding young player Igor Jesus, who was recently sold to LA Galaxy for €4 million. The intricacies of this deal highlight Flamengo's savvy approach, where they sold 50% of Jesus's rights to a Portuguese club prior to this transfer. The total revenue from this transaction for Flamengo is expected to be around R$25 million, demonstrating the club's ability to profit even from players who aren't getting playing time in the first team.
This strategy of gradual sales and partnerships with clubs abroad, particularly in Portugal, seems to be a significant trend for Flamengo, allowing them to maintain financial health while developing talent.
