Scheidt stated that there were several proposals for Léo Pereira, including from West Ham.

Léo Pereira, a 29-year-old Brazilian defender for Flamengo, has received inquiries from West Ham of the Premier League and from Mexican club Cruz Azul. However, a transfer is not expected to happen, as Flamengo does not wish to sell any of its key players. The club also considers Pereira a pillar of the team and is in a stable financial situation. Pereira joined Flamengo in January 2020 and has a contract until the end of 2027. His current market value is €10.00m, according to Transfermarkt, and a release clause of €60 million was reported in late 2025.
