Remo terminate Alef Manga's contract, find out why | OneFootball

Remo announced that forward Alef Manga is no longer part of the Pará club’s squad. The player had been away from the group since the match against Santos, in the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship, when he became involved in an argument with Marllon, his teammate and Remo’s captain.

Last Wednesday, Alef Manga’s representatives spoke out on social media and gave their version of the events that took place on the 19th, after the match against Santos at Mangueirão. Remo did not comment on the statement, but released an announcement informing of the forward’s departure.

“Clube do Remo informs that forward Alef Manga is no longer part of the blue squad for the remainder of the season. For Remo, the player appeared in 40 matches and scored six goals. The Club wishes him success in the continuation of his career,” the club wrote in an official statement.

In light of the news reports regarding the suspension of player Alef Manga by Clube do Remo, his defense is publicly issuing the following clarifications:

After the match against Santos, held last Saturday (19) at Mangueirão Stadium, there was an argument between Alef Manga and center-back Marllon, which continued inside the locker room, in the context of players holding each other accountable after the match result.

The defense clarifies, however, that there was no physical aggression, pushing, or any act of violence between the players involved. The arguments were in the club’s best interest.

Likewise, Alef Manga states that, after the incident, he was not called to any meeting or conversation with the coaching staff or with coach Thiago Carpini. The player learned of his suspension through the coverage of the matter in the press, without having received, up to that point, any prior official communication from the club regarding the decision.

The measure came as a surprise to the player, especially in view of his attitude and commitment to Clube do Remo throughout the season. The defense also points out that Alef Manga was not involved in any episode of indiscipline during his time at the club, nor was he involved in off-field situations that had, until then, resulted in any disciplinary action by the institution.

On the field, Alef Manga ends his spell as Remo’s second-highest scorer in the 2026 season and the team leader in direct goal contributions, with six goals and four assists, also being the player with the most assists in the squad.

His performances attracted interest from other Brazilian football clubs, including teams involved in the race for promotion to Série A. Despite the opportunities presented during the season, Alef chose to remain at Remo and stay available to the team in pursuit of the club’s sporting objectives.

Manga had been staying in contact with Remo

The defense also clarifies that the player remains in contact with representatives of Clube do Remo’s board and that the relationship between the parties continues to be guided by respect and cordiality. There is no restriction imposed by the club on the player regarding access to the club’s facilities, and the procedures related to the termination of the contractual relationship were formally regularized between the parties.

Regarding the information being circulated on social media, Alef Manga’s defense states that it is properly monitoring the posts and will take the appropriate legal measures in response to the spread of false information, unproven accusations, or content that may exceed the limits of freedom of expression and harm the player’s honor, image, and reputation.

Posts of this nature will be duly analyzed, and those responsible may be notified, with the appropriate legal measures being taken whenever any violation of rights is found.

Finally, Alef Manga reiterates his respect for Clube do Remo, for his teammates, the institution’s professionals, and Remo’s supporters, thanking them for the period in which he had the opportunity to wear the club’s shirt.
