Corinthians This movement in the transfer market marks a new stage in Carlos Miguel's career. Since arriving at Corinthians, he has stood out for his confident and decisive performances, gaining the trust of the fans and the coaching staff. Now, he is preparing to face a new challenge in European football.
FLAMENGO ALMOST HIRED THE GOALKEEPER
Carlos Miguel's decision to transfer to Nottingham Forest it wasn't sudden. Since the beginning of negotiations, the goalkeeper has shown interest in playing abroad, especially in the Premier League, known for its competitiveness and global visibility. Nottingham Forest, in turn, sees Carlos Miguel as a significant reinforcement for the team, which seeks to consolidate itself in the first division of English football.
The goalkeeper's departure represents a significant loss for Corinthians. In recent years, Carlos Miguel has been a key player in the team's defense, contributing to several important victories. His presence in goal conveyed security not only to the defense, but to the entire team, and his absence will be felt.
On the other hand, Carlos Miguel's transfer also brings financial benefits to the São Paulo club. With the amount of 4 million euros that will be received from the termination fine, Corinthians will be able to invest in new reinforcements and in the club's structure, aiming to strengthen the squad for the next competitions.

This Sunday, Flamengo will take the field against Athletico for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship with a mixed lineup. Due to the physical exhaustion of some athletes and with the focus on the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil, which will take place in the middle of the week, coach Tite chose to preserve part of the squad. Eight changes will be made compared to the team that played against Peñarol last Thursday, when CRF was eliminated from the Libertadores.
Gabigol, number 99, is one of the confirmed starters for the match. The striker will have a new opportunity as a starter after almost two months, repeating his role as a starter in the game against São Paulo, in August. Matheus Gonçalves, a young man who has stood out in recent matches, is also selected for the offensive sector.
Of the athletes who played against Peñarol, only Rossi, Léo Ortiz, Gerson and Plata will start this Sunday's clash. Important names such as Varela, Fabrício Bruno, Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, De La Cruz, Arrascaeta and Bruno Henrique will be on the bench, ready to enter if necessary.
PROBABLE LINEUP
The probable formation of Flamengowill have: Rossi in goal; Wesley, David Luiz, Léo Ortiz and Ayrton Lucas in defense; Pulgar, Alcaraz, Gerson and Matheus Gonçalves in midfield; with Plata and Gabigol forming the attacking duo.
In addition to the suspension of Carlinhos, who was sent off in the match against Grêmio, Tite will also be without some important players. Michael, who has already returned to training, will only be available for the game against Corinthians, in midweek. Other absences include Cebolinha, Viña, Pedro and Luiz Araújo.

The elimination of the Libertadores last Thursday (26) shook the structures of Flamengo. Now, the squad is trying to overcome the atmosphere of discouragement that took hold behind the scenes before the matches against Athletico-PR, in the Brasileirão, and Corinthians, in the Copa do Brasil.
The team's re-presentation on Friday (27), after the fall in Uruguay, it occurred amid “silence”. According to information from ‘Coluna do Fla’, the players barely spoke to each other upon returning to the CT. Thus, the feeling of disappointment dominated the activities, both of the regenerating starters and the reserves on the field.
Tite and his coaching staff are now looking to regain the squad's focus for the remainder of the season. Flamengo has two games scheduled in less than seven days after elimination. Rubro-Negro will face Athletico-PR this Sunday (29), in the 28th round of the Brasileirão, and Corinthians on Wednesday (02), in the semi-final of the Copa do Brasil.
Resumption in the Brasileirão and in the Copa do BrasilWith 45 points and in fourth place, Flamengo hasn't won in three rounds in the Brasileirão and sees the distance to leader Botafogo increase to 12 points. Therefore, this Sunday's match (29) is crucial for Tite's aspirations in the competition.
In the “eye of the storm”, the game against Athletico -PR will be Flamengo's first after their elimination in the Libertadores. The match is scheduled for 8pm (Brasília time) this Sunday (29), at Maracanã.
Goalkeeper was at Gávea in 2016, when he was champion of the São Paulo Junior Football Cup alongside Paquetá and Vizeu

Flamengo is one of the teams in Brazil that best treats its young players, so much so that many are currently shining on the world stage, such as Vinícius Júnior, Lucas Paquetá and João Gomes, from the Brazilian team. These players are examples of how the red and black base can boost successful international careers. However, not everyone who passes through Flamengo manages to achieve the same level of recognition and success, leaving the impression that some talents may have been "unjustified" for various reasons.
An emblematic case is that of Carlos Miguel, who was recently announced by Nottingham Forest, in England. The Europeans paid 4 million euros, the equivalent of R$23.6 million to Corinthians for the archer. Standing 2.04 meters tall, Carlos Miguel demonstrated enormous potential in the opportunities he had with the São Paulo team, raising questions about why he didn't get a similar chance at Flamengo.
Carlos Miguel had a spell at Flamengo at the base, playing in 2016. "I played for Flamengo at the base, I played in 2016. It was during this period that we won the Copa São Paulo, alongside (Lucas) Paquetá, (Felipe) Vizeu, among other boys", began the former Timão goalkeeper. Despite his contributions, he was unable to establish himself in the first team. The goalkeeper highlighted that competition and opportunity management may have influenced his development.
“The starting goalkeeper was Thiago, I was part of the team. João Lopes and Gabriel Batista were also part of the team, as well as Neneca (Hugo Souza)", said Carlos Miguel, in an interview with communicator Benjamin Back's podcast. Carlos Miguel explained that, despite his potential, the lack of opportunities was a decisive factor in his decision to leave Flamengo. "I was born in 1998, Gabriel Batista and I are the same age. I didn't have many opportunities to play, while he did. Then the opportunity arose to go to Internacional, where there was no goalkeeper born in 98 at that time", he added .
Carlos Miguel's choice to go to Internacional was motivated by the search for more playing opportunities. “In the youth categories, age is often a determining factor. So, I decided to go to Inter, believing that I would have more chances there”, explained the goalkeeper. At Internacional, he hoped to have more chances to show his talent, something that seemed limited at Flamengo. However, his departure from Parque São Jorge was also not without criticism, demonstrating the challenges faced by young athletes in search of affirmation in football.
It is worth remembering that Hugo Souza, known as Neneca, who was mentioned in the interview, was precisely chosen to replace the recently signed by Nottingham Forest and arrived at Parque São Jorge on loan until the end of 2024. The trajectory of Carlos Miguel and other young Flamengo talents highlights the complexity of the transition from youth to professional categories, and how factors such as opportunities and career management can influence the success of young promises in Brazilian football.
