Flamengo eyeing move for Série A starlet, claims journalist | OneFootball

Which Coritiba player is on Flamengo's radar for the 2026 season?

Flamengo continues to keep an eye on market opportunities in order to further strengthen the team for the 2026 season. In this context, the name that has appeared on the Rubro-Negro's radar is Pedro Morisco, Coritiba's goalkeeper.

According to information released by journalist Carlos Mion, Flamengo has inquired about the current situation of Pedro Morisco. In addition to the Rubro-Negro, Bahia and Grêmio are other Brazilian clubs that have shown interest in the 21-year-old goalkeeper from Coritiba.

So far, the athlete's agents and the SAF of the Paraná club have maintained their stance and say that Pedro Morisco will remain at Coritiba for the next season. The idea is also that, if the player is to be transferred, it should be to European football. In the ‘Old Continent’, Manchester City (ENG) has already shown interest in the player.

WHO IS PEDRO MORISCO, CORITIBA'S GOALKEEPER?

Pedro Morisco was one of the main players in Coritiba's campaign that resulted in promotion to the Série A of the Brasileirão in 2026. Due to his strong performances throughout the 2024 season, the goalkeeper was even observed by Carlo Ancelotti and the entire coaching staff of the Brazilian National Team.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE TRANSFER MARKET?

Besides Pedro Morisco, Gabriel Brazão is another option being considered for the goalkeeper position at Flamengo. However, it is worth noting that the Rubro-Negro has not made an official offer for either player.

On the other hand, the player who is very close to becoming the newest signing for Flamengo is defender Vitão. The defender is scheduled to arrive in Rio de Janeiro this Tuesday (30) to undergo medical exams and sign with the Rubro-Negro. The player's contract will be valid for four seasons.
