Flamengo agree to terminate Michael’s contract, striker now a free agent | OneFootball

On the afternoon of this Friday, Flamengo announced that they have reached an agreement with Michael for the termination of the player's contract. Thus, the 29-year-old forward ends his contract, which was set to last until 2028, with the Rubro-Negro and is now a free agent.

“Flamengo thanks the athlete for his professionalism, dedication, and services rendered during the period he defended the club, and wishes him success in the continuation of his career,” the club said in a published note.

Repatriated in 2024 by Flamengo, Michael was unable to replicate the success of his first stint at the Rio de Janeiro club. In 45 matches since his return, the forward scored six goals and provided five assists. Additionally, he participated in the victories of the Copa do Brasil (2024), Brasileirão (2025), Supercopa Rei (2025), Campeonato Carioca (2025), and Copa Libertadores (2025).

In his first stint with the Rubro-Negro, Michael played 105 games between 2020 and 2021, scoring 23 goals and providing 14 assists.

Former Santos Target

Before the termination, the player was on Santos' radar during this transfer window. The Peixe even reached an agreement with Michael, but talks stalled because the forward did not want to give up the amounts he was due from the Rio club.
