O Fluminense está a um passo de cumprir a meta de premiação por performance prevista para 2026. Os R$ 46 milhões arrecadados com a campanha até a semifinal da Libertadores deixaram o clube muito perto dos R$ 63 milhões projetados no orçamento.
Faltam R$ 7 milhões. Além do valor continental, entram na conta a bonificação de R$ 5 milhões pelas oitavas da Copa do Brasil e outros R$ 5 milhões pelo vice-campeonato Carioca.
A estimativa inicial, feita com base no ano anterior e aprovada internamente, previa final do Carioca, quartas de final na Copa do Brasil e na Libertadores e sexto lugar no Brasileirão. Só a Copa do Brasil ficou abaixo: o time caiu para o Vasco nas oitavas. Na Libertadores, flertou com a decisão e parou na semifinal, nos pênaltis, diante do Palmeiras. No Brasileirão, segue em quarto.
Ainda falta receber pela colocação final no campeonato, mas as fatias de Libra e da FFU não são públicas. Em 2024, quem terminou em quarto embolsou R$ 40 milhões; se o valor repetir, a meta será superada.
Os números do ano até aqui: R$ 46,3 milhões da Libertadores, R$ 5 milhões da Copa do Brasil e R$ 5 milhões do Carioca. Em levantamento de setembro, o clube aparecia atrás apenas de Flamengo (R$ 70 milhões) e Palmeiras (R$ 60 milhões), à frente do Corinthians (R$ 42 milhões).
