Flamengo extend Varela's contract until 2027 | OneFootball

Uruguayan right-back signed a new contract with Flamengo this Friday (15)

On this Friday (15), Flamengo renewed the contract of Guillermo Varela. The Uruguayan right-back had a contract until December 2025 and extended it until the end of 2027. Now, the number 2 will receive a salary increase from the club.

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 already performed duties 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.

WHEN DID VARELA ARRIVE AT FLAMENGO?

Hired in July 2022, on loan from Dynamo Moscow (RUS), Guillermo Varela has accumulated 109 matches with the Flamengo shirt. With three goals and three assists in the period, the Uruguayan has been standing out for his offensive consistency without compromising defensive performance. Two of the goals were scored in the 2024 Serie A, while the other came out in the Brazil Cup of 2025.

FILIPE LUÍS REQUESTED VARELA'S RENEWAL

Due to his good performances, Flamengo moved to renew Varela's contract. This is because coach Filipe Luís considers the Uruguayan an important piece in the team, as well as seeing great potential in the right-back.
