Flamengo has arranged the sale of forward Michael to Al-Ula FC, from the Second Division of Saudi Arabia. The information was published by journalist Venê Casagrande.
The player was on Santos' radar during this transfer window. The Peixe even reached an agreement with Michael, but the talks stalled because the forward did not want to give up the amounts he is owed by the Rio de Janeiro club.
Amid this scenario, Al-Ula FC made a proposal that pleased Flamengo. Now, only details remain between the Saudi club and the 29-year-old athlete for the deal to be finalized.
Little used by coach Filipe Luís, Michael has a contract with Flamengo until 2028 and has not yet played in the current season.
Michael has 150 matches for the Rubro-Negro, adding up his two stints at the club, with 29 goals and 19 assists.
