Coritiba turn down multi-million offer for player linked with Flamengo

Which Coritiba player is Flamengo keeping an eye on?

The goalkeeper position is one of the priorities for Flamengo in this transfer window. Although Gabriel Brazão is the club's main target, the red-black board is also considering other options in the market. One of the names that interests Mengão is Pedro Morisco, a standout player from Coritiba.

Flamengo is also facing competition from other teams interested in signing Pedro Morisco. Not by chance, Coritiba has rejected offers from a club in Brazil and another in Italy for the goalkeeper, in the region of 7.5 million euros (R$ 47.3 million at the current exchange rate). This information comes from ‘Uol‘.

Who is Pedro Morisco, Coritiba's goalkeeper?

Pedro Morisco was one of the main players in Coritiba’s campaign, which resulted in promotion to Série A of the Brasileirão in 2026. Due to his strong performances throughout the season, the 21-year-old goalkeeper was even observed by Carlo Ancelotti and the entire coaching staff of the Brazilian National Team.

How is Flamengo’s search for a goalkeeper going?

Although Flamengo is considering the signing of Pedro Morisco, Flamengo has not yet made an offer for the Coritiba goalkeeper. That’s because the main target for the position at Mengão is Gabriel Brazão, from Santos.

However, Santos is not interested in negotiating Gabriel Brazão in this window, since the goalkeeper is the undisputed starter for the São Paulo team. Thus, Flamengo continues trying to convince the club and, for that, will have to ‘open its wallet’.

Why does Flamengo want to sign a goalkeeper?

Flamengo needs to bring in a goalkeeper for the next season, since they have said goodbye to Matheus Cunha, backup to Rossi in 2025. That’s because, in July last year, the goalkeeper signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro and, as a result, joined the team from Minas Gerais.
