Corinthians player brushes off Flamengo spell: "What happened there was..." | OneFootball

What happened to Allan, the new addition to Corinthians, during his time at Flamengo?

The midfielder Allan was unable to have a consistent run of performances wearing the Flamengo jersey due to injuries. In a press conference this Tuesday (24), the Corinthians signing for the 2026 season made it clear that he is not a ‘glass player’ and has rarely suffered injuries throughout his career.

— It seems like I'm a glass player, and that's not the case. What happened at Flamengo was an anomaly. I had my first muscle injury there, couldn't fix it, and had two more. At Atlético and Fluminense, I was one of the most active players. Of course, there are discomforts, but I never had injuries; I only got injured at Flamengo. This prevented me from having a consistent run, it seemed like everything went wrong -, said Allan.

Allan had been with Flamengo since 2023, but he couldn't maintain a consistent presence with the Sacred Mantle. At the end of the 2025 season, the Rubro-Negro decided to place the midfielder on the ‘negotiable list’ for 2026.

WAS ALLAN SIGNED BY CORINTHIANS?

Yes! Several Brazilian teams showed interest in signing Allan, who ended up going on loan to Corinthians. The player's contract with the São Paulo team is valid until the end of this season. After that, the club has the option to purchase the player, with a fixed transfer fee of 2 million euros (approximately R$ 12 million at the current exchange rate).

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S NEXT MATCH?

While Allan begins his journey with a new club, Flamengo is focused on the Recopa Sudamericana final. This Thursday (26), Mengão faces Lanús (ARG) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV, as usual, provides detailed coverage of the match with the most Rubro-Negro coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
