Out of coach Filipe Luís’s plans, Pablo only took part in the first rounds of the 2025 Campeonato Carioca with the alternate squad. Afterwards, the defender started training alone at CT Ninho do Urubu and frequently posted his activities on social media, often accompanied by motivational quotes.

Flamengo tried to negotiate Pablo, but without success, due to his high salary. Reporting by Coluna do Fla found that the defender earned more than Léo Pereira, for example, who is a guaranteed starter for the four-time Libertadores champion team. Thus, São Bernardo’s new signing preferred to fulfill his contract with Mengão, which ended on the 31st.

HOW WAS PABLO’S ANNOUNCEMENT AT SÃO BERNARDO?

On social media, São Bernardo joked about Pablo wearing the ‘Amarelinha’ (Little Yellow) jersey again. That’s because the player had played for the Brazilian National Team in the past. In the video posted, a goal by the five-time world champion was remembered, with the defender stealing the ball, passing it to Neymar, and Gabriel Jesus finishing into the back of the net.

“Hey, Bernô fan. The Amarelinha I’m going to wear now is this one. Let’s go for it!” said Pablo in the video. In the post’s caption, São Bernardo wrote: “Welcome, Pablo!”. A former teammate of the defender during his time at Flamengo, Everton Ribeiro was one of the first to like the announcement post.
