Brazilian club president confirms striker set for Flamengo move in 2026 | OneFootball

Carlinhos returns to Flamengo after loan to Vitória

Vitória continues its planning for the next season after avoiding relegation to Série B of the Campeonato Brasileiro. One of the decisions made by the board of the Bahia team is not to renew with striker Carlinhos, who will return to Flamengo after his loan period.

“Some are finishing their loan and we will not renew, such as Carlinhos“, said Fábio Mota, president of Vitória, during a press conference. Thus, the striker returns to Flamengo after the loan period.

WHAT IS CARLINHOS’ SITUATION?

Carlinhos was not utilized by coach Filipe Luís at the start of the season. As a result, the striker was made available for loan and reached an agreement with Vitória. However, the center forward did not have a significant role in the Bahia team.

This is because Carlinhos played in 23 matches for Vitória this season and scored only four goals. It is worth mentioning that the red-black striker has not played since October, when he was on the field for just one minute against Corinthians at Barradão Stadium.

WILL HE PLAY FOR FLAMENGO?

Flamengo is expected to negotiate Carlinhos. The 28-year-old striker is not part of the red-black team’s plans for next season. In addition, Juninho is expected to follow the same path, as Bahia is interested in signing him.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Before thinking about the transfer window, Flamengo remains focused on the Intercontinental Cup. That’s because the red-black team faces Pyramids (EGY) on Saturday (13th), at 2pm (Brasília time), in the tournament’s semifinal.
