Why Hasn't Michael Signed a Contract with Santos Yet?


Michael is close to leaving Flamengo. That's because the forward has accepted the offer to play for Santos this season. However, the left winger made a demand to Mais Querido, which has ‘stalled’ the negotiations between the clubs.

According to a report by Coluna do Fla, Michael demanded from Flamengo the full amount of the signing bonus he is owed. Mais Querido, however, is refusing to pay. As a result, the Rubro-Negro has not yet accepted Santos' offer to sell the player.

How Much Will Flamengo Receive for Selling Michael?

Santos is willing to shell out 4 million dollars (R$ 21 million at the current exchange rate) to sign Michael. In addition, Flamengo will retain 20% of the economic rights, aiming for a future sale of the player.

Is Michael Still Available to Play for Flamengo?

Amid the negotiations, Michael continues to train normally with the Flamengo squad. The player is even available for the match against Vasco this Wednesday (21st), at Maracanã, for the third round of the Campeonato Carioca.

Who Will Broadcast the Flamengo vs. Vasco Match?

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Vasco through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air channel), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel), and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca classic.
