Amidst a restructuring of the squad during the Série B of the Brazilian Championship, Remo agreed to the departure of four players, including midfielder Daniel Cabral , who was discovered by Flamengo. On loan from Estrela Amadora, from Portugal, the midfielder had few opportunities at the Pará club and is returning to Europe before the end of his contract. Remo is going through a period of internal adjustments amidst the dispute of Série B.


CABRAL FORMER FLAMENGO DID NOT ESTABLISH HIMSELF


Occupying fifth place in the table, with 24 points, the same score as Avaí, which closes the G-4, the club decided to make changes to the squad for the rest of the season. Among the names leaving the squad is midfielder Daniel Cabral, a Flamengo product. Loaned by Estrela Amadora, the player only played five matches wearing the blue jersey and was unable to establish himself in the starting lineup.


A SHORT PASSAGE THROUGH BRAZILIAN FOOTBALL

Daniel Cabral's time at Remo was marked by low playing time and lack of consistency. Unable to stand out, the 22-year-old midfielder will return to Portuguese football, where he belongs to Estrela Amadora, the club that holds his economic rights. The loan deal, which was supposed to last until the end of the season, will be terminated early. His return to Europe is already being arranged, and the player will no longer be part of the Azulino squad for the remainder of the Série B.


In addition to Daniel Cabral, Remo confirmed the departure of three more players: Dodô, Madison and Rafael Castro. The decision is part of an internal restructuring process led by the coaching staff and the board of directors, which is looking for new players to strengthen the group. With the transfer window open, the Pará club is already analyzing names on the market to replace the players who left and maintain the fight for promotion to Série A.

Despite Cabral's departure, Remo continues to have a strong connection with Flamengo . The squad includes forwards Felipe Vizeu and Pedro Rocha, both of whom have had notable spells with the Rubro-Negro. Vizeu also came through the ranks of the Rio de Janeiro club. Another name with a strong connection with Flamengo is former director Marcos Braz , who is now a member of Remo's board of directors . He was vice-president of football at the Gávea club between 2019 and 2024 and plays an active role in the administrative and sporting decisions of Leão Azul.
