Michael lowers wage demands, Santos in talks to sign Flamengo forward | OneFootball

Michael wants to transfer to Santos

Flamengo is not expected to count on forward Michael for the 2026 season, which already began last Sunday (11). Thus, Santos remains interested in signing the winger, amid a salary reduction by the player.

According to information from ‘Paparazzo Rubro-Negro’, Santos has agreed on personal and contractual terms with Michael from Flamengo. Now, the team from São Paulo is seeking a positive outcome with the Most Beloved to finalize the deal.

WHAT IS MICHAEL'S SITUATION?

Initially, Santos tried to sign Michael on loan, with a purchase option. However, Flamengo wants a permanent sale of the 28-year-old winger. Thus, the clubs continue to negotiate to find common ground.

Michael has lost his place at Flamengo, especially towards the end of the season. That's because the winger was not included in the squad for the final of the Copa Libertadores. Finally, he remained on the bench at the Club World Cup.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION OF FLAMENGO'S SQUAD?

Currently, Flamengo has several players who play in Michael's position. Samuel Lino is the main name and Filipe Luís' first choice. In addition, Jorge Carrascal, Bruno Henrique, Luiz Araújo, Gonzalo Plata and Everton Cebolinha also play in this position.
