Santos stall talks between Flamengo and Gabriel Brazão | OneFootball

Flamengo is interested in signing Gabriel Brazão

Flamengo is still trying to secure the signing of goalkeeper Gabriel Brazão, currently at Santos, for the 2026 season. However, the São Paulo team has been making negotiations with the Most Beloved difficult and, at this moment, has ‘stalled’ talks with the Rubro-Negro.

According to ‘ESPN’, Santos still has no interest in negotiating Gabriel Brazão, since the goalkeeper is the undisputed starter for the team. Furthermore, Flamengo indicates that it will not make any ‘financial madness’ to sign the player. As a result, the deal seems difficult to get off the ground.

How much does Santos want for Gabriel Brazão?

Just like in the last transfer window, in mid-2025, Santos does not promise to make things easy for Flamengo in a negotiation for Gabriel Brazão. The São Paulo club, in fact, is backed by the R$ 370 million release clause for the goalkeeper for Brazilian teams.

It’s worth noting that Gabriel Brazão was one of the main names for Santos in the 2025 season, helping the São Paulo team avoid relegation to Série B of the Brasileirão. Over the year, the goalkeeper played 53 matches, conceding 67 goals.

Does Flamengo have a ‘plan B’ to sign a new goalkeeper?

If they are unable to sign Gabriel Brazão, Flamengo already has a ‘plan B’. In this way, the Rubro-Negro views Pedro Morisco, 21 years old, favorably. The goalkeeper was one of the main players in Coritiba’s campaign, which resulted in promotion to Série A of the Brasileirão in 2026.

Why does Flamengo want to sign a goalkeeper?

Flamengo needs to bring in a goalkeeper for the next season, since they have said goodbye to Matheus Cunha, backup to Rossi in 2025. That’s because, in July last year, the goalkeeper signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro and, as a result, joined the team from Minas Gerais.
