Filipe Luís drops Michael from Flamengo squad amid talks with Santos | OneFootball

Why Hasn’t Michael Signed a Contract with Santos Yet?

Michael is close to leaving Flamengo. That’s because the forward has accepted the offer to play for Santos this season. For this reason, coach Filipe Luís did not include the player in the squad for the match against São Paulo in the Brasileirão.

Why Hasn’t Michael Signed with Santos Yet?

So far, Michael has not signed with Santos due to a demand made to Flamengo, which has ‘stalled’ the negotiations between the clubs. The forward has asked Mais Querido for the full amount of the signing bonus he is owed.

Flamengo, however, is refusing to pay. Therefore, the Rubro-Negro has not yet accepted Santos’ offer to sell the player. As a result, Michael is not available for the match against São Paulo.

How Much Will Flamengo Receive for Michael’s Sale?

Santos is willing to pay 4 million dollars (R$ 21 million at the current exchange rate) to sign Michael. In addition, Flamengo will retain 20% of the player’s economic rights for a future sale.

Who Will Broadcast the Flamengo vs São Paulo Match?

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and São Paulo through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the interstate classic.
