Which team will sign Michael, former Flamengo player?


Michael is no longer a player for Flamengo. This Friday (30), the forward terminated his contract with the Rubro-Negro and is now free to sign with Al-Ula, from Saudi Arabia.

“The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo announces that it has terminated the contract with forward Michael this Friday (30), by mutual agreement with the player. Flamengo thanks the athlete for his professionalism, dedication, and the services rendered during his time at the club, and wishes him success in the next stage of his career.”, published Flamengo.

The expectation, therefore, is that Michael will travel this Friday (30) to Saudi Arabia. The country is not new to the former Flamengo forward, who recently played in the Saudi League for Al Hilal (SAU).

Wasn't Michael close to signing with Santos?

Yes! Michael even agreed to become a Santos player this season. However, Flamengo did not want to pay a million-dollar sum before terminating the contract with the forward. Therefore, the São Paulo team backed out of the deal and gave up on the signing.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Without Michael, Flamengo is focusing its attention on the match against Corinthians this Sunday (01), for the Supercopa do Brasil. The match will take place at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Mané Garrincha, with live coverage from Coluna do Fla.
