Flamengo eye move for Gabriel Brazão ahead of 2026 season | OneFootball

Gabriel Brazão, from Santos, is a target for Flamengo for the next season. According to the portal “GE”, the red-black management is looking for a goalkeeper to compete for the position with the Argentine Augustín Rossi.

The Rio de Janeiro club reached a consensus with Brazão in the middle of the year, but the Santos team demanded the payment of the release clause, of 70 million euros (around R$ 445 million), amounts that prevented the transfer from being finalized. With the possible relegation of Santos to Serie B, Flamengo fans are optimistic about the agreement.

The Peixe does not intend to negotiate Brazão and believes it is protected by the release clause. The current Libertadores champions released goalkeeper Matheus Cunha, who signed a pre-contract with Cruzeiro and is expected to arrive in Belo Horizonte in January.

Career

The player began his professional journey at Cruzeiro, had a stint in the second division of the Spanish Championship, playing for Albacete and Real Oviedo, and in the Italian Championship, where he played for Parma and Internazionale of Milan. He joined the Alvinegro praiano in 2024. Santos holds 60% of his economic rights, while the other 40% belong to the Milan club.

Season Statistics

According to the statistics app Sofascore, Brazão has 36 games this year and, so far, is the goalkeeper with the most saves in the small area in the Brazilian Championship (70) and the most total saves in the competition (120).
