Brasileirão Serie B side sign Flamengo striker Carlinhos | OneFootball

Carlinhos had been on loan to Remo since January 2026

Teams across world football continue to strengthen their squads ahead of the return of the calendar after the World Cup. So, after an underwhelming spell at Remo, Carlinhos has agreed to join Athletic, a club that competes in Brazil’s Série B.

Through social media, this Wednesday (15), Athletic announced the signing of the red-and-black player. “Carlinhos is part of the Squadron! The 29-year-old striker joins Athletic on loan from Flamengo, after a spell at Remo. Welcome to the Squadron, Carlinhos,” the club said.

How was Carlinhos’ spell at Remo?

Remo completed the signing of Carlinhos in January 2026, after the striker had spent a year playing for Vitória. However, the player was rarely used by the Pará-based team and only took the field in six matches. The last time the athlete played in a match was in March, in the state final against Paysandu, when he came off the bench and played 19 minutes.

What are Carlinhos’ numbers at Flamengo?

Carlinhos began his journey with Flamengo in 2024, after standing out for Nova Iguaçu in the Carioca Championship. Wearing the red-and-black shirt, the striker has played 20 matches and scored five goals. Then, in 2025, the player was loaned to Vitória. Finally, the player has a ‘new home’ for the remainder of the season.

Does Flamengo want to sign a new center forward?

While Carlinhos prepares to strengthen Athletic, Flamengo wants to sign a new center forward in the next transfer window, which opens on July 20. In addition, the Rubro-Negro’s second priority is to sign a No. 10 to cover possible absences from Arrascaeta.

What is Flamengo’s next match?

Meanwhile, Flamengo continues preparing for its last friendly before the end of the World Cup. This Friday (17), Leonardo Jardim’s team will face Olimpia (PAR) at 8:00 p.m. (Brasília time) at Mané Garrincha Stadium, in Brasília.

As usual, Coluna do Fla brings all the details about Flamengo in the 2026 season. So, stay tuned to the website, social media, and YouTube. However, Flamengo TV (YouTube) will broadcast the friendly between Rubro-Negro and Olimpia.
