Flamengo may delay signing a striker until the next transfer window | OneFootball

Flamengo's Goal is to Take Advantage of the End of the European Season

The 2026 season is about to begin, but as usual, Flamengo will start the Carioca with an alternative team. Meanwhile, the Most Beloved remains attentive to the market, as they intend to make some signings.

Despite this, ESPN reported that Flamengo plans to delay the signing of a forward until mid-year. Thus, the Most Beloved might strengthen the attack only in the next transfer window.

Initially, the idea of the Flamengo management is to take advantage of the end of the European season. This is because the goal of signing players under 26 who play in Brazilian football has become more challenging to achieve.

This is because Flamengo's direct rivals in Brazilian football do not intend to strengthen the red-black team. As a result, the tendency is for the Most Beloved to seek alternatives outside Brazil.

How Many Signings Should Flamengo Make?

In summary, the main plan of Flamengo is to sign two or three more players. This is because the red-black management's idea is to maintain the core of the considered starting squad and relieve the payroll with players who are not part of Fla's plans.

Does Flamengo Already Have Reinforcements for the Season?

Yes! The first reinforcement for the 2026 season was defender Vitão, purchased from Internacional. Despite this, Flamengo still wants to sign a goalkeeper and at least one forward. Thus, Gabriel Brazão is the main target for the red-black goal, but Santos is playing hardball in negotiating the goalkeeper.

Another name on Flamengo's radar is Kaio Jorge. However, like Santos, Cruzeiro has also not made things easy for the red-black club. As a result, the Minas Gerais team has rejected all of Fla's proposals.
