Michael left Flamengo in February and has already started his journey at Al Ula (SAU) on a positive note. That’s because the former Flamengo striker has been involved in four goals in the three matches he has played for the Saudi club.
In three matches, Michael has scored two goals and provided two assists in the Saudi League. The former Flamengo player made his debut by scoring against Al Arabi (SAU) on February 3rd.
Soon after, he provided an assist against Al Batin (SAU) in the 1-0 victory on February 9th. Finally, Michael both assisted and scored against Al Ririyah (SAU) in the 3-1 win last Sunday (15th).
Flamengo terminated the contract of striker Michael at the beginning of this February. As a result, the 29-year-old player was free to sign with Al Ula. He then signed a contract with the Saudi club until the end of 2028.
Thus, Flamengo, Michael’s former team, remains focused on the upcoming fixtures of the season. The rubro-negro club will face Lanús (ARG) this Thursday (19th), at 9:30 pm (Brasília time), away from home, for the Recopa Sudamericana.
