Kaio Jorge is the chosen ‘target’ for Flamengo to strengthen their attack in the 2026 season. Amid all the turmoil surrounding the negotiations between Rubro-Negro and Cruzeiro, the forward posted a cryptic message on social media.
Through a post on ‘Instagram’, Kaio Jorge shared on his ‘stories’ a photo of a swimming pool with red and black colors. Because of this, both Flamengo and Cruzeiro fans have been searching for explanations to understand the post made by the forward, who is currently in Gravatá, Pernambuco, spending the last days of his vacation.

Even with this cryptic post, what is known so far is that Kaio Jorge remains a Cruzeiro player. This is because the Minas Gerais team has rejected Flamengo’s offers.
In the latest offer, Rubro-Negro reportedly offered around 32 million euros (R$ 203 million) to Cruzeiro for Kaio Jorge. However, the Belo Horizonte club claimed that the offer falls short of what they expect to receive for the forward.
While Kaio Jorge remains on the radar, Flamengo is also keeping an eye on other business opportunities for the attack. Names such as Marcos Leonardo, from Al Hilal (SAU), have emerged as possible ‘targets’.
As for the goalkeeper position, Gabriel Brazão from Santos and Lucas Morisco from Coritiba are being considered. Finally, Mengão has completed the signing of defender Vitão, formerly of Internacional. The defender has undergone medical exams and is just a few details away from being announced as Flamengo’s first reinforcement for the 2026 season.
