Brasileirão Série B side announce signing of Flamengo striker Carlinhos | OneFootball

Carlinhos had been on loan at Remo since January 2026

Teams across world football continue strengthening their squads ahead of the calendar’s return after the World Cup. So, after an underwhelming spell at Remo, Carlinhos has agreed to join Athletic, a club that competes in Brazil’s Série B.

Through social media, this Wednesday (15), Athletic announced the signing of the red-and-black player. “Carlinhos is part of the Squadron! The 29-year-old forward arrives at Athletic on loan from Flamengo, after a spell at Remo. Welcome to the Squadron, Carlinhos,” the club said.

How was Carlinhos’ spell at Remo?

Remo completed the signing of Carlinhos in January 2026, after the forward had spent a year playing for Vitória. However, the player was rarely used by the Pará-based team and played in only six matches. The last time the athlete featured in a game was in March, in the state final against Paysandu, when he came off the bench and played 19 minutes.

What are Carlinhos’ numbers at Flamengo?

Carlinhos began his journey with Flamengo in 2024, after standing out for Nova Iguaçu in the Carioca Championship. Wearing the red-and-black shirt, the forward has made 20 appearances, scoring five goals. Then, in 2025, the player was loaned to Vitória. Now, the player has a ‘new home’ for the rest of the season.

Does Flamengo want to sign a new center forward?

While Carlinhos prepares to strengthen Athletic, Flamengo want to sign a new center forward in the next transfer window, which opens on July 20. In addition, the Red-and-Black’s second priority is to sign a No. 10 to cover for possible absences of Arrascaeta.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo continue preparing for the final friendly before the end of the World Cup. This Friday (17), Leonardo Jardim’s team will face Olimpia (PAR) at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília.

As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the details about Flamengo in the 2026 season. So, stay tuned to the website, social media, and YouTube. However, Flamengo TV (YouTube) will broadcast the friendly between Rubro-Negro and Olimpia.
