The 2025 season is coming to an end and, with that, some players are already starting to plan the next steps in their careers. In this situation, defender Cleiton, who will not have his contract renewed, made a statement to Flamengo after winning the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.
Through social media, Cleiton posted a photo showing the medals from the last two titles won by Flamengo. Along with the image, the defender wrote the following: “Only Flamengo can give you such wonders.”

It’s important to point out that Cleiton is very close to leaving Flamengo. That’s because the club has already made it clear that it does not intend to renew the player’s contract, which is valid until the end of the 2025 season.
Cleiton has even signed a pre-contract with Wolfsburg (GER). So, right after finishing the season with Flamengo, the player will report to and be available for the German team.
Yes! Right at the start, Filipe Luís selected Cleiton to be one of the players to take part in the first rounds of the Carioca, when Flamengo used an alternative squad. After that, the defender alternated in some matches as an option on the bench. In the match against Bahia, in fact, the player was called upon by the red-and-black coach.
The next game for Flamengo this season will be against Mirassol, this Saturday (06), in the last round of the Brasileirão. The match kicks off at 6:30 pm (Brasília time), at Estádio Maião. In this match, the Rubro-Negro will field an under-20 team, as the main squad is preparing for the Club World Cup, which starts next Wednesday (10) against Cruz Azul (MEX).
