— Hello, Rubro-Negro Nation! I express my immense gratitude to the club, thank you, Flamengo! To all the club's employees and staff. Our life is made of cycles, today I end my cycle at Flamengo, I leave with my head held high and in search of new challenges. THANK YOU, FLAMENGO -, highlighted Bruno Xavier in a post on Instagram.

How long did Bruno Xavier spend at Flamengo?

The midfielder was one of the bets of football director José Boto. This is because, as soon as he arrived, the Portuguese rubro-negro signed the athlete on loan at the beginning of 2025, right after starting his management at Mais Querido.

Why didn't they renew with Bruno Xavier?

The transfer fee was set at R$ 2 million, but the youngster did not stand out in the rubro-negro under-20. Therefore, Fla decided not to extend the contract and return him to the club from Minas Gerais.

Where did Bruno Xavier come from?

Despite being young, Bruno went through other youth categories of Serie A. The midfielder started at Cruzeiro, which loaned the professional to Corinthians. From the São Paulo team, the player transferred to Athletic-MG before arriving at Mais Querido.

What is Flamengo's next match?

Without Bruno Xavier, Flamengo faces Botafogo in the quarterfinals of the Carioca on Sunday (15th). The match will kick off at 5:30 PM (Brasília time) at Estádio Nilton Santos.
