Journalist says Carrascal wants out of Flamengo: “Asked to leave” | OneFootball

Carrascal was upset by Flamengo fans confronting him at the entrance to the condominium where he lives in Rio de Janeiro

Jorge Carrascal has not been in his best form since arriving at Flamengo. After being sent off for the third time this season, the Colombian indicated that he wants to leave the Most Beloved, according to journalist Diogo Dantas.

In short, Jorge Carrascal’s staff and the Flamengo board have begun planning a sale. At the moment, the Rubro-Negro is waiting for the World Cup to try to recover the 12 million euro investment (around R$ 80 million), since the player will represent the Colombian National Team.

According to journalist Diogo Dantas, Carrascal has already told his agents that he may return to Russian football. On the other hand, Flamengo has already put the player on the transfer list and believes the off-field issues have become unsustainable.

This is because Carrascal has been constantly throwing parties and, although Flamengo considers him a skilled player, the club believes he has not behaved well in some matches. The recent send-offs, however, were only part of the problem, which could lead to punishment from the club.

When was Carrascal’s last red card?

It is worth remembering that Jorge Carrascal raised his foot too high and struck the face of defender Murilo, from Palmeiras, in the 20th minute of the first half of last Saturday’s match (23). As a result, the referee showed the Colombian a straight red card, leaving Flamengo with one player fewer.

Meanwhile, Flamengo lost the game 3-0 and saw Palmeiras extend their lead at the top of the table. Now, the Most Beloved is seven points behind the São Paulo team, which has also played one more match than Fla. While the Rubro-Negro is in second place with 31 points, Alviverde has 38.

However, the string of red cards for Jorge Carrascal began early in the 2026 season. The player was sent off against Corinthians in a match valid for the Supercopa do Brasil. Later, the player also left the field early in the derby against Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship.

As a result of the red card in Fla-Flu, the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) handed the midfielder a two-match suspension because of the incident. Now, the STJD may penalize Jorge Carrascal again. While the court has not yet issued a ruling, Flamengo has administratively fined the Colombian, that is, by docking part of his salary.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Flamengo’s next match is this Tuesday (26), when the Most Beloved faces Cusco (PER) at the Maracanã. The match is valid for the sixth and final round of the group stage of the Libertadores. For the game, Jorge Carrascal will be available to Leonardo Jardim, since the sending-off was in the Brasileirão.
