Goalkeeper linked with Flamengo tops 2025 Brasileirão saves ranking | OneFootball

Gabriel Brazão is considered as a backup for Agustín Rossi for Flamengo's 2026 season

Among the goalkeeper options, Flamengo is trying to sign Gabriel Brazão from Santos. The goalkeeper has the highest number of saves in the Brasileirão 2025. However, the plan is to sign the athlete as a backup for the Argentine Agustín Rossi.

Brazão finished the Brazilian Championship 2025 with 124 saves, while Rossi had 86. The difference, however, might be related to Santos' defensive fragility, which conceded 50 goals, while the Rubro-Negro conceded only 27.

But does Santos want to sell Brazão?

Despite the interest from Rubro-Negro, Santos does not intend to part with the goalkeeper. The 25-year-old player is considered a key piece in the planning for 2026, besides having won the affection of the Santos fans.

In a recent interview, Brazão stated he is happy at Vila Belmiro and left his future in the club's hands. Despite the recognition from the Most Beloved, the goalkeeper's main dream remains a future transfer to European football, should the opportunity arise.

Does Flamengo have a plan B to sign a new goalkeeper?

If they cannot sign Gabriel Brazão, Flamengo already has an alternative. The Gávea club is eyeing Pedro Morisco, 21 years old. The young player is one of the main highlights in Coritiba's campaign, which resulted in their promotion to the Série A of the Brasileirão in 2026.

Why does Flamengo want to sign a goalkeeper?

The Rubro-Negro needs to bring in a goalkeeper for the next season because Matheus Cunha has signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro for 2026. The Minas Gerais club has already announced the goalkeeper.

How is Flamengo doing in the transfer window?

Vitão is currently the only reinforcement for the team in 2026. On the other hand, the Most Beloved has already confirmed some departures. Cleiton is a defender for Wolfsburg (GER), while Carlinhos has signed with Remo. Meanwhile, Juninho strengthens Pumas (MEX) and Matías Viña is loaned to River Plate (ARG).
