Flamengo protects itself with long-term contracts and pleases the coaching staff.
Luxembourg points out that the stance adopted in negotiations strengthens both the technical and financial aspects.

Currently, in the football market, it is very uncommon for a player to stay at a single club for a long time. However, those who manage to keep their squads together for more than one season have already shown how effective this is. After making significant progress in this regard over the past few years, Flamengo began 2011 with an extremely professional approach: signing long-term contracts with its new players.
In this way, coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo, who had stated last year, right at his presentation, that he would only be interested in players committed to his project at Flamengo, showed confidence right at the start of the season. After all, the approach to signings has already changed at Flamengo.
"Flamengo needs to move forward (to strengthen itself) and we are doing that. We are looking for signings where the club buys the federative rights of the players and establishes a long-term contract. Even in the contracts of players who signed for one year, we have clauses that allow us to buy the player, with priority. We are working in this way so that Flamengo doesn't lose out in the future. So that tomorrow we don't lose out technically or financially," said the coach.
And it wasn't just with players from outside the club that Flamengo changed its approach. To exemplify the new methodology of the red-and-black team, the coach cited the case of defender Welinton, who once again had his rights tied to the club.
"For example, Flamengo bought back the federative rights to Welinton. This is a form of protection. If, by chance, in the future, the club sells the player, it can raise funds to rebuild its squad."
But it's not only with the new arrivals that Flamengo has adopted a different approach. Since they intend to have a squad already defined before the start of the season, the Flamengo coaching staff made a point of explaining that some players, still under contract, will train in Rio de Janeiro instead of going to Londrina and will be free to negotiate with other clubs.
"Some of our players will remain training here, free to negotiate with other clubs. But that doesn't mean their careers are over. With my experience in the world of football, I can say that's not the case. They will continue their professional lives at another club, no problem."
