Michael is getting closer and closer to saying goodbye to Flamengo in the 2026 season. This is because the player has reached an agreement with Santos regarding the length of the contract and salary. Now, the São Paulo team is waiting for a response from the Rubro-Negro.
According to information from ‘ESPN’, Flamengo just needs to give the ‘ok’ for Santos to complete the signing of Michael. Thus, the Rubro-Negro forward is close to strengthening the São Paulo team this season.
Santos is willing to shell out 4 million dollars (R$ 21 million at the current exchange rate) to sign Michael. In addition, Flamengo will keep 20% of the economic rights in anticipation of a future sale of the player.
Michael had two spells at Flamengo: one from 2020 to 2021, and another from 2024 to 2025. In the current one, the forward played 45 matches, scoring six goals and providing five assists. However, the player lost his place in Filipe Luís’s squad and even reinforced the under-20 team in the last round of the Brasileirão 2025, against Mirassol.
Meanwhile, Flamengo returns to the field this Wednesday (21) to face Vasco. Thus, the ‘Clássico dos Milhões’ takes place at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the third round of the Carioca.
As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details about the match between Flamengo and Vasco, through YouTube, the website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air), GE TV (YouTube), SporTV (cable channel) and Premiere (pay-per-view) will broadcast the Carioca classic.
