Why was Filipe Luís at Atlético de Madrid’s CT?
The former full-back was an Atlético de Madrid player for most of his career in Europe: he had two spells at the club, between 2010 and 2014 and between 2015 and 2019. He played 333 games for Atleti, the team for which he played the most as an athlete.
Filipe Luís went to Spain after the Intercontinental Cup, in Qatar, in which Flamengo ended up defeated on penalties by PSG. The 2025 season is over for Flamengo after the decision and the squad is on vacation.

Will Filipe Luís renew with Flamengo?
Filipe Luís only has a contract with Flamengo until the end of 2025, which is close. The club is looking for renewal, but there are financial obstacles. Bap, president of the club, has been centralizing the conversations and considers that the parties want the coach to remain at Rubro-Negro.
According to “ge.globo”, Flamengo sent a first proposal to the coach, considered low. Afterwards, a counter-proposal with numbers well above the initial numbers arrived at the club. A new round of conversations brought the values closer together, but there was still no consensus.
