Part 4/8:
Another financial boost for Flamengo comes from the sale of Matheus Sávio. The midfielder, sold to the Japanese club Civa Rei Sol in 2019, is set to bring in additional funds. This week, the Urawa Reds of Japan also paid a reported 3 million dollars to secure his services, of which Flamengo stands to gain 30% — amounting to nearly R$ 6 million. This sort of unexpected income exemplifies how the club’s past decisions can lead to financial benefit down the line, particularly when rivals question Flamengo’s financial prowess.
