Part 7/8:
The situation with Richarlison is not unique but rather illustrative of a broader trend affecting the footballing landscape in Brazil. Many clubs are struggling with financial sustainability, prompting discussions about club ownership structures and the need for a shift toward more stable financial models, such as the SAF (Sociedade Anônima do Futebol) format.
The reality is that Brazilian football could be entering a period marked by more conservative financial practices. Clubs that lack sound financial strategies and transparency will face challenges in maintaining competitiveness. As such, clubs like Flamengo are cautioned against making impulsive moves that could undermine their efforts to secure a solid financial footing.
