Flamengo eyeing move for Série A starlet, claims journalist | OneFootball

Which Coritiba player is on Flamengo's radar for the 2026 season?

Flamengo continues to keep an eye on market opportunities to further strengthen the team for the 2026 season. Thus, the name that appears on the Rubro-Negro's radar is Pedro Morisco, Coritiba's goalkeeper.

According to information released by journalist Carlos Mion, Flamengo has inquired about the current situation of Pedro Morisco. Besides the Rubro-Negro, Bahia and Grêmio are other Brazilian clubs that have shown interest in the 21-year-old goalkeeper from Coritiba.

So far, the athlete's agents and the SAF of the Paraná team maintain their stance and say that Pedro Morisco will stay at Coritiba for the next season. The idea is also that if they have to negotiate the athlete, it should be for European football. In the 'Old Continent', Manchester City (ENG) has shown interest in the player.

WHO IS PEDRO MORISCO, CORITIBA'S GOALKEEPER?

Pedro Morisco was one of the key players in Coritiba's campaign, which led to their promotion to the Série A of the Brasileirão in 2026. Due to his strong performances throughout the 2024 season, the goalkeeper was even observed by Carlo Ancelotti and the entire technical team of the Brazilian National Team.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN THE TRANSFER MARKET?

In addition to Pedro Morisco, Gabriel Brazão is another option that appears as a possible name for the goalkeeper position at Flamengo. However, it is worth noting that the Rubro-Negro has not made an official proposal for either of the two athletes.

On the other hand, the player who is very close to becoming the newest signing of Flamengo is defender Vitão. The defender is scheduled to arrive in Rio de Janeiro this Tuesday (30) to undergo medical exams and sign with the Rubro-Negro. The player's contract will be valid for four seasons.
