Hopefully not.
Flamengo has received a €9 million offer (almost R$53 million at the current exchange rate) from Aston Villa , England, for Emerson Royal , according to ESPN .
The right-back is highly regarded by the coaching staff and the football department, and therefore the club has not yet made a concrete decision about the player's future.
What is also being discussed at the moment is the financial side of Flamengo, which is working on one or two more sales to balance its finances - it has already pocketed 10 million euros ( R$ 58.7 million ) with the departure of young striker Ryan Roberto to Shakhtar Donetsk , in Ukraine.
With 21 games played this season, Royal was bought by Flamengo in 2025 from Milan , Italy, coincidentally for the same amount now offered by the English club: 9 million euros.
At 27 years old, Emerson Royal has already played 40 matches, scored one goal and provided five assists wearing the Flamengo jersey. He has a contract valid until December 2028.
