Flamengo is close to officially signing 26-year-old striker Mikey Johnston from West Bromwich Albion in England. According to journalist Venê Casagrande, the Rio de Janeiro club will pay around R$35 million for the transfer, and the contract will be for four years . The player is expected to travel to Brazil after final adjustments to the bureaucratic procedures.
Johnston prefers to play on the left wing, a position currently occupied by Everton Cebolinha and Michael. With his performance below that of both players, the Irishman arrives to fight for space and increase competitiveness in the sector. The signing also reflects the diagnosis of the football department, which sees the need for offensive renewal.
Mikey Johnston's arrival should not be an isolated incident. Internally, the club's board of directors understands that it is time to renew players in attack, especially on the wings. Michael and Everton Cebolinha have not been able to establish themselves this season , and the club is already working on the possibility of negotiating them soon.
After a remarkable stint between 2020 and 2021, Michael returned to Flamengo surrounded by expectations. However, his second stint has been discreet and marked by irregular performances. According to ge, the player himself expressed the desire to leave in 2025, but was convinced to stay for a while longer. The atmosphere, however, is not the best.
Tactically, Michael does not fit into Flamengo's current playing style. His style based on dribbling and individual plays, which sometimes worked in the past, has now proven to be ineffective. His lack of tactical discipline has weighed against him remaining on the field in decisive games. Everton Cebolinha's situation is also not the most comfortable.

After winning the Copa Libertadores with Fluminense, Jhon Arias left Brazilian football after the Club World Cup and joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in England. At his new club, the Colombian has started the last few matches but has yet to establish himself.
So far, he hasn't scored any goals and is struggling to adapt to English football. Even so, Arias remains focused on Europe. The midfielder recently stated that his goal is to perform in English football, but he doesn't rule out a return to Brazil in the future.
According to journalist Fabrício Lopes, Flamengo has already made an initial inquiry into the player. Although negotiations are not underway, Flamengo is seen as one of the few teams in Brazil able to offer salaries close to those earned in Europe.
" Obviously, Arias prioritizes staying in Europe; he just arrived there. He wants to perform for his team. But if that doesn't happen, only Flamengo can offer a salary close to what he earns in Europe," said Fabrício. It's worth remembering that the next transfer window won't open for another three months, so any official moves are unlikely to happen until after that period.
The number 10's future is still up in the air. Arias would prioritize Fluminense if he returns to Brazilian football , but he's not closing the door on Flamengo , which is closely monitoring the situation. The midfielder's performance in the coming months will be crucial in determining the future of his career.

Gabigol hasn't received any official offers from Atlético-MG yet. However, even if he did, the striker wouldn't consider leaving Cruzeiro for a rival in the same city. Since his arrival, the number 9 has developed an affinity with the Raposa , a factor that reinforces his continued presence in Belo Horizonte.
Even with his future uncertain , the striker continues to seek more playing time and a consistent starting role. Among Brazilian clubs, Corinthians is seen by Gabigol as a dream club for the future. However, there are currently no ongoing negotiations between the parties.
Before Atlético-MG's interest was expressed, Corinthians was considered a strong candidate to sign the striker . During Augusto Melo's tenure, the board saw Gabigol as a strategic and high-impact signing, offering a better value than international players like Memphis Depay.
Despite arriving with star status, Gabigol has yet to replicate the prominence he enjoyed at Flamengo at Cruzeiro. He currently has 35 appearances, 12 goals, and four assists for the Minas Gerais team, but Leonardo Jardim doesn't consider him a regular starter.
Gabigol left Flamengo at the end of 2024, after losing his place in the starting lineup. Even so, his history with the Rio de Janeiro club remains marked by decisive goals , especially in the Copa Libertadores victories in 2019 and 2022.

The official squad will be announced this Wednesday (1st) at 3 p.m. (Brasília time) at the CBF headquarters in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro.
The three athletes have been important pieces in Flamengo 's starting lineup. In the recent match against Estudiantes, in Argentina, they all started playing. In the victory over Corinthians , last Sunday (28), Alex Sandro started on the bench and came on in the second half.
In the last call-up, for the World Cup qualifiers against Chile and Bolivia, the trio also appeared on the preliminary list . However, only Samuel Lino was called up, even starting in the defeat against Bolivia.
To prepare for the 2026 World Cup, the Brazilian national team will play two friendlies on Asian soil. The first will be against South Korea on October 10th at 8:00 am (Brasília time) in Seoul. Four days later, the team will face Japan at 7:30 am (Brasília time) in Tokyo. In November, Brazil will also play two friendlies against African teams, with opponents and venues yet to be determined.
The coaching staff's schedule includes new friendlies in March 2026, this time against major European teams. Among the most advanced contacts is a possible duel against France. The final roster for the World Cup will be announced in May , with the possibility of a final friendly match before the national team's debut in June.
