Why did Michael leave?

Michael was not in Flamengo's plans for the 2026 season. This is because the Most Beloved has several options in attack and the left winger is not among the top choices.

Additionally, Michael did not have a good physical moment in the 2025 season, being left out of Flamengo's squad list on several occasions. For this reason, the Rubro-Negro understood that the best alternative was to terminate the contract with the athlete.

Which club will Michael sign with?

Michael is now free in the transfer market. The forward received several offers from Saudi Arabian teams, but the tendency is for the athlete to sign with Al-Ula (SAU).
