The Brazilian football season has come to an end, and clubs have started making moves with an eye on the year 2026. In this context, Santos has inquired about signing the forward Michael from Flamengo in recent days.

SANTOS EYEING THE MARKET?

The Santos club might negotiate winger Guilherme in the coming days. This is because the player is a target for clubs in Saudi Arabia. Thus, the São Paulo team does not intend to make efforts to keep the player, who faced criticism during part of the season.

WHAT IS MICHAEL'S SITUATION?

Michael has a contract with Flamengo until December 2028. The 29-year-old winger had few opportunities in 2025 under the management of Filipe Luís. During this period, the player appeared in 29 matches, scored two goals, and provided four assists.

Thus, Michael is on the list of players that Flamengo intends to negotiate in the next transfer window. The winger is not part of coach Filipe Luís's plans. Therefore, José Boto may facilitate the departure of the speedster.
