The Flamengo is negotiating the sale of midfielder Matheus Gonçalves to Al Ahli (SAU) during this transfer window. With the athlete's move to the Arab world, the red-black team will surpass R$ 500 million in sales just in 2025.
This is because Flamengo is working behind the scenes to finalize the transfer of Matheus Gonçalves to Al Ahli. The Saudis offered 8 million euros (R$ 50.5 million at the current exchange rate). Thus, the Most Beloved will have R$ 513 million in sales only in the current season.
The first major sale of Flamengo this season was Fabricio Bruno to Cruzeiro, for R$ 44 million. Soon after, the Most Beloved completed the negotiation of Carlos Alcaraz with Everton, for R$ 96 million. Wesley and Gerson, sold to Roma and Zenit, for R$ 162.2 million and R$ 160 million, respectively, were the following. Finally, Mengão is negotiating with Al Ahli the sale of Matheus Gonçalves.
Flamengo is in talks with Al Ahli to finalize the sale of Matheus Gonçalves. Amid the negotiations, the midfielder has already bid farewell to the red-black team on social media: “Thank you, Flamengo. Forever a boy from Ninho”, wrote the 20-year-old athlete.
While negotiating the departure of Matheus Gonçalves, the Flamengo squad remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. The red-black team faces Grêmio on Sunday (31), at 4 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
