Juninho arrived at Flamengo in early 2025 with the responsibility of joining the squad right after Gabigol's departure. The comparison was inevitable, and the pressure was proportional. The signing was the first made by José Boto, the club's new executive director , who was banking on the young striker to make up the squad in a versatile way in the offensive sector.


Despite initial expectations, Juninho has not yet established himself in the team and is experiencing a period of uncertainty at Rubro-Negro. The striker, who is known for playing further back, as a second striker, has not been able to adapt to the role of offensive reference. Flamengo coach Filipe Luís has not yet used Juninho in the current Club World Cup.


CLUB CONTINUES WITH THE ATHLETE ON THE RISE


In the match against Chelsea, he even preferred to bet on young Wallace Yan, who came on well and scored a goal. The choice highlighted the lack of confidence in the number 18, who remains an option on the bench, without taking center stage. Juninho, on the other hand, continues to train normally and has demonstrated a professional attitude, despite the low minutes on the field.

MARKET KEEPING AN EYE ON THE ATTACKER


According to information from the Bolavip Brasil portal, the striker has been the target of recent inquiries from clubs abroad. The inquiries were initial and exploratory in nature, with a focus on understanding the player's current contractual situation and the level of interest in a possible transfer. Despite the interest from abroad, Juninho chose to remain at Flamengo and try to turn things around at the club . The athlete understands the delicate moment and has been in constant conversations with Filipe Luís to understand his role in the group.

Internal sources indicate that the striker should remain at the club until at least the end of the season. The decision was made by mutual agreement between the athlete, the coaching staff and the football department. The idea is to evaluate the player's development and his adaptation over the next few months. The club still sees potential in Juninho, even if his start has been below expectations.
