Corinthians player brushes off Flamengo spell: "What happened there was..." | OneFootball

What happened to Allan, Corinthians’ new signing, during his time at Flamengo?

Midfielder Allan was unable to have a consistent run of games wearing the Flamengo shirt due to injuries. In a press conference this Tuesday (24), the new Corinthians signing for the 2026 season made it clear that he is not a ‘fragile player’ and has rarely suffered injuries throughout his career.

— It seems like I’m made of glass, but that’s not the case. What happened at Flamengo was something out of the ordinary. I had my first muscle injury there, couldn’t fix it, and ended up with two more. At Atlético and Fluminense I was one of the players who played the most. Obviously, there are discomforts, but I never had injuries, only at Flamengo. That held me back from having a run of games, it seemed like everything went wrong, said Allan.

Allan had been at Flamengo since 2023, but was unable to have a consistent run with the Sacred Mantle. At the end of the 2025 season, the Rubro-Negro decided to put the midfielder on the ‘transferable list’ for 2026.

WAS ALLAN SIGNED BY CORINTHIANS?

Yes! Several Brazilian clubs showed interest in signing Allan, who ended up going on loan to Corinthians. The player’s contract with the São Paulo club is valid until the end of this season. After that, the club has the option to buy the player, with a fixed fee of 2 million euros (about R$ 12 million at the current exchange rate).

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT MATCH?

While Allan begins his journey at a new club, Flamengo is focused on the Recopa Sudamericana final. This Thursday (26), Mengão faces Lanús (ARG) at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Maracanã. As usual, Coluna do Fla TV will cover all the details of the match with the most red-and-black coverage on the internet on YouTube, as well as on their website and social media.
