Flamengo in talks to sell midfielder to Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Victor Hugo was on loan to Santos

The transfer window opened last Monday (05) and is already stirring up the market. In this scenario, Flamengo is negotiating with Atlético-MG for the definitive sale of Victor Hugo, who is on loan to Santos until July 2026.

According to GE, Flamengo would receive financial compensation and retain a percentage of the player's rights. The talks between the Rio and Minas Gerais clubs are progressing positively.

The 21-year-old's contract with Santos does not include a purchase option, but the São Paulo club has priority if another team presents an official proposal to Rubro-Negro. However, the team led by Juan Pablo Vojvoda has not shown interest in permanently signing the player.

DID VICTOR HUGO NOT HAVE A PLACE AT FLAMENGO?

Victor Hugo returned to Flamengo in July 2025 after a loan to Göztepe, Turkey. During the European season, the midfielder played 35 times, scored three goals, and provided one assist.

However, without a place in the team led by Filipe Luís, Flamengo chose to release the player to Famalicão, Portugal, at no cost. The negotiation, however, did not progress and was stalled by negative repercussions behind the scenes at the Rubro-Negro club.

Subsequently, the midfielder went on loan to Santos in September. Since then, Victor Hugo has played nine matches for the São Paulo team but has not yet contributed with goals or assists.
