Santos make Flamengo striker top target after loss to Palmeiras | OneFootball

Which Flamengo forward is Santos targeting?

Santos continues to seek new reinforcements in the transfer market, especially after a 1-0 defeat to Palmeiras on Wednesday (14th). The focus of the São Paulo team is to sign Michael from Flamengo.

According to information from GE, Santos prioritizes signing a forward in this transfer window, even after having announced Gabigol. The defeat to Palmeiras further alarmed the team's situation, which is lacking in the offensive sector.

Does Santos want Michael on loan?

Santos expects to sign Michael on loan but does not rule out buying the forward outright. Flamengo is currently open to selling the left winger in this transfer window.

Is Michael willing to leave Flamengo?

Michael currently sees leaving Flamengo this season in a positive light. This is because the left winger lost his place in the squad in 2025 and is looking to gain more playing time in 2026.

Michael is even willing to take a pay cut if purchased by Santos. Therefore, the tendency is for the São Paulo team to make a formal offer to Flamengo to finalize the negotiation.
