Player set for Flamengo farewell after Club World Cup ends | OneFootball

Which Forward is Leaving Flamengo for 2026?

With the end of the 2025 season for Flamengo, the club is already preparing for 2026. Thus, the Rubro-Negro is already reshaping the squad for the next year. As a result, forward Juninho is preparing to bid farewell to the Rubro-Negro.

This is because Juninho is very close to being announced by Pumas (MEX). Without a spot in Flamengo's starting lineup, the forward accepted the offer from the Mexican team and, therefore, will not be part of the Rubro-Negro squad in 2026.

How Much Will Flamengo Receive for Juninho's Departure?

It is worth noting that Flamengo will recover the amount invested in Juninho at the beginning of 2025. After all, Pumas will pay 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 Stats at Flamengo?

Juninho joined Flamengo at the start of the 2025 season. However, the player was unable to establish himself in the team managed by Filipe Luís. Not surprisingly, the forward has 32 games, with four goals scored wearing the Sacred Mantle.

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 forward's departure, who will now play for Pumas.

Does Flamengo Have Confirmed Departures?

In addition, Flamengo already has two confirmed departures for 2026. This is because Wolfsburg (GER) announced the signing of Cleiton this Wednesday (17). At the same time, goalkeeper Matheus Cunha announced a pre-contract with Cruzeiro in June of this year and is thus preparing to strengthen the Minas Gerais team.
