Flamengo block player’s move to Cruzeiro | OneFootball

Matheus Cunha has a contract with Flamengo until December this year

Flamengo delayed the departure of goalkeeper Matheus Cunha to Cruzeiro in the current transfer window. This is because the red-black team alleged that they had not hired a replacement to formalize the player's departure to the Belo Horizonte club.

According to journalist Venê Casagrande, Cruzeiro and Flamengo had an agreement that Flamengo had an agreement for Matheus Cunha to be released now, in August, since the professional has a contract until December. However, the Most Beloved backed down and mentioned that they did not get a new player for the position, and that they will only release the goalkeeper in 2026.

WHAT IS MATHEUS CUNHA'S SITUATION?

Matheus Cunha has a contract with Flamengo until December this year and is eligible to sign with another club without costs. Thus, the player closed a three-season deal with Cruzeiro and will only present himself in Belo Horizonte in January 2026.

DID FLAMENGO TRY TO REPLACE HIM?

Flamengo tried to hire a new goalkeeper in this transfer window. This is because the Most Beloved sought an agreement with Gabriel Brazão, from Santos, for the next season. However, still without a conclusion, the idea of Mengão is to continue with Agustín Rossi, Matheus Cunha, Dyogo Alves and Léo Nannetti in the squad until the end of the year.

AND FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

With Matheus Cunha available, Flamengo focuses on the rest of the season. Mengão takes the field this Wednesday (06) to face Atlético-MG, in Belo Horizonte. The match takes place at Arena MRV, at 7 pm (Brasília time).
