Flamengo secures Alex Sandro contract extension

Flamengo secured a contract extension with left-back Alex Sandro, 35. The experienced player, who is defending the Brazilian national team in the World Cup, had a contract until the end of 2026, but signed for another season with the club.

What happened?

Alex Sandro, according to journalist Venê Casagrande, signed the contract virtually, even while with the Brazilian national team.

Why is this important for Flamengo?

The extension of Alex Sandro is important for Flamengo, as the player is one of the main names in the squad and has been fundamental to the team's success.

What comes next?

Flamengo will only announce the extension when Alex Sandro returns to the squad, after the World Cup. Thus, if Brazil reaches the final, this would happen at the earliest on July 20, the day after the World Cup final.

Alex Sandro is in his third season at Flamengo and has already won several titles, including the Copa do Brasil, Brasileirão, and Libertadores.
