Flamengo's player sales generated R$ 171.6 million in 2026, falling short of the R$ 250 million budget target set for the year. The biggest sale was of midfielder Ryan Roberto to Shakhtar Donetsk for R$ 56.3 million, while other deals totalled just R$ 22 million. This situation highlights concerns about Flamengo's youth development, with President Bap expressing worry about the technical gap between the under-20 team and the first team. To address this, the board has hired coaches, reduced the number of players to 250, and formed new partnerships with clubs in Minas and Bahia.
