Coritiba in talks to sign title-winning striker from Flamengo | OneFootball

Which player is Coritiba negotiating for the 2026 season?

The 2025 season has ended for most clubs, and with that, planning for 2026 has already begun. Coritiba is already eyeing the market and is negotiating the signing of forward Pedro Rocha, former Flamengo player.

Pedro Rocha ended the season on a high note, as he was the top scorer of the Brasileirão Série B playing for Remo, which, like Coritiba, was promoted to the first division. At the moment, the forward has already decided not to extend his contract with the Paraná team, which ends at the end of 2025.

Currently, Coritiba faces competition from Série A teams and also from abroad for the signing of Pedro Rocha. The Paraná team's management sees the forward as the ideal fit for the club's ambitions in the 2026 season. Thus, there is anticipation to see what the future holds for the former Flamengo player.

HAS PEDRO ROCHA PLAYED FOR FLAMENGO?

Yes! Pedro Rocha joined Flamengo in the 2020 season on loan from Spartak Moscow (RUS). Although he didn't have a brilliant stint, the forward was part of victorious campaigns with the Sacred Mantle.

Among them are the victories in the Brasileirão, Supercopa do Brasil, Recopa Sul-Americana, Taça Guanabara, and Carioca, all in 2020. The following year, Pedro Rocha returned to Spartak Moscow.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE 2025 SEASON?

While Pedro Rocha decides his future, Flamengo is focused on the upcoming commitments of the season. After becoming the champion of the Libertadores, the Rubro-Negro will compete in the Intercontinental in Doha, Qatar.

The first match of the tournament takes place this Wednesday (10) against Cruz Azul (MEX). The game kicks off at 2 PM (Brasília time) at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium. Thus, Coluna do Fla TV will show the match details on YouTube, as well as on the website and social media.
