Flamengo make a decision, striker’s contract terminated | OneFootball

Which forward had his contract terminated by Flamengo?

Flamengo has started planning for the 2026 season. In this way, the club is already preparing for the future of players returning from loan. In Petterson's case, the Rubro-Negro terminated the forward's contract.

Petterson came up through the youth ranks at Flamengo and had a contract with the club until 2027. However, after the coaching staff decided he would not be part of the plans for next season, the board reached an agreement with the player, and his contract was ended.

It’s important to note that Petterson emerged as one of the recent talents from Flamengo’s U-20 team, but he did not get many opportunities with the senior squad. As a result, the club has been loaning the forward out. Over time, he has played for Athletico-PR, Estrela Amadora (POR), Juventude, and Paysandu.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE MORE PLAYERS TO DECIDE THE FUTURE OF?

Yes! Flamengo has other player situations to resolve for the 2026 season. One of them is forward Carlinhos, who is returning from a loan to Vitória. The expectation is that Rubro-Negro will reach a mutual agreement with the player, since his contract runs until the end of 2026.

The situations of Lorran and Victor Hugo are different. That’s because both players have been utilized by Pisa (ITA) and Santos, respectively. The loan deals for both players with these clubs, in fact, run until mid-2026.

HOW IS FLAMENGO’S PLANNING FOR 2026 GOING?

In addition to players returning from loan, Flamengo has already started considering the departure of some members of the main squad. Defender Cleiton was the first to leave, transferring to Wolfsburg (GER). The same is expected to happen soon with Matheus Cunha, who has a pre-contract with Cruzeiro.

Meanwhile, players such as Everton Cebolinha, Allan, and Juninho, who is reportedly on Pumas’ (MEX) radar, for example, are on Flamengo’s ‘transferable list.’ As such, Rubro-Negro is open to hearing any kind of offer related to these players.
