What are Juninho's numbers with Flamengo's jersey?


The first signing of Flamengo in 2025, Juninho couldn't establish himself at the club and, therefore, left the Rubro-Negro in this transfer window. Now wearing the jersey of Pumas (MEX), the player revealed that it was a dream to play for the Most Beloved.

For me, it was a dream, I lived a dream for a year. I can say that I was and am very fulfilled because of it. When you get the opportunity to be at Flamengo nowadays, not just any player can receive that opportunity. Obviously, I was very happy and was very happy, despite the circumstances -, he said, before concluding:

But I believe that, even though I didn't play much, I was able to help, day by day, in training, in games. Whether on the bench, from the sidelines, or in the game itself. I know that those few who truly understand football will understand that I was important there. But for me, it was a dream come true -, concluded Juninho, in an interview with ‘GE’.

How much did Flamengo receive for Juninho's departure?

Flamengo recovered the amount invested in Juninho at the beginning of 2025. After all, Pumas paid 5 million euros (about R$ 31.5 million) for the forward, the same amount that Mengão paid to Qarabag (AZE) to sign the player.

What are Juninho's numbers at Flamengo?

Juninho joined Flamengo at the beginning of the 2025 season. However, the player couldn't establish himself in the team led by Filipe Luís. Not surprisingly, the forward played 32 matches, scoring four goals with the Sacred Mantle.

  • 32 matches
  • 04 goals (1 in the Libertadores, 1 in the Brasileirão, and 2 in the Carioca)
  • 880 minutes on the field

Finally, Juninho had a contract with Flamengo until the end of 2028. However, due to the lack of continuity at the club, the parties opted for the departure of the forward who will now play for Pumas.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (21) to face Vasco. Thus, the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ takes place at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the third round of the Carioca.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Vasco, through YouTube, the website, and social media. However, Globo (open channel), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (closed channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca classic.
