Flamengo forward closes in on move to Japanese football | OneFootball

Loaned to Remo, Carlinhos is close to moving to Japan

Signed by Flamengo in 2024, Carlinhos was unable to establish himself and was repeatedly loaned out by the club. Currently, the striker is at Remo, which does not intend to keep the player. For the second half of the year, the center forward’s destination is expected to be Japanese football.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Cuiabá showed interest in signing Carlinhos. However, the Mato Grosso side was told that a move abroad is the striker’s priority. In addition, the player’s representatives said there is already an agreement in progress with a Japanese club.

If the transfer to Asian football does not go through, Carlinhos’ future promises to turn into a real ‘soap opera’. That is because the striker is under contract with Flamengo until December of this year. Remo wants to send the player back to the Rubro-Negro club, which has already said it will not take him back.

SO WHAT WOULD BE THE SOLUTION FOR CARLINHOS’ FUTURE?

Therefore, the solution would be for Carlinhos’ agents to convince Flamengo to agree to terminate the contract for the remaining six months. If they succeed, and the move to Japan does not happen, the striker would be free to sign with Cuiabá at no cost.

WHERE DID CARLINHOS PLAY AFTER LEAVING FLAMENGO?

After shining for Nova Iguaçu in the Campeonato Carioca, Carlinhos signed with Flamengo in 2024. With few opportunities, the striker moved on loan to Vitória last year. With the Salvador side, he made 23 appearances and scored four goals. Still not in Mengão’s plans, the center forward moved to Remo in 2026. In Belém, he has made only six appearances, with one goal and one assist.
