Flamengo considers reducing average age of squad

Flamengo has already started planning for 2026, although it is still close to playing in the Intercontinental Cup. After the conclusion of the Brazilian Championship, the red and black board will begin to reflect on the transfer market. One of the ideas is to reduce the average age of the cast for next season. The information comes from “ge”.

Flamengo’s team currently has an average of 27.8. To this end, the management is considering hiring goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão and defender Vitão, both aged 25, according to reports. Of course, other names are on the Gávea club’s radar. But without any conclusion.

According to president Luiz Eduardo Baptista, Bap, the idea is to keep a member of the squad, as has happened in recent seasons.

“You recruit players with a four-year contract. We want to reduce the average age of the team. You have to consider the age of those who are there today, in one or two years they will be older. You have to consider the players you are recruiting this year at 26, how old they are, and consider the age of those you are going to consider signing now at 27. If I want a 25-year-old player now, Joãozinho at 27 years old will be a year and a half older So there are a series of aspects that need to be considered,” Bap told FlamengoTV.

In this context, Fla is looking for a goalkeeper, a defender and an attacker, preferably renowned. In other words, they may be players with good physical and physical abilities. This can be up to 26 years old, usually at the peak of their career. Additionally, there is the possibility of other reinforcements to power the outputs.
