Saúl arrived at Flamengo in July 2025, on a free transfer, after terminating his contract with Atlético de Madrid (ESP). In total, the midfielder played 24 matches in the red and black shirt, recording two assists. In addition, the Spaniard was part of the squads that won the Brasileirão and the Libertadores.
