Without a place alongside Filipe Luís at Flamengo, striker Michael 's name has once again been speculated on the transfer market . This time, he was mentioned as a possible Corinthians reinforcement for 2026. However, the information is untrue. According to Corinthians' board, there has been no contact with the player . The athlete's contract with the Rubro-Negro is valid until December 2028. This information comes from the MundoBola Flamengo portal.
Michael returned to Flamengo in 2024, at Tite's request, after a remarkable stint in 2021, when he shone in the final stretch of the season . In his return, he scored against Red Bull Bragantino at Maracanã, but suffered an injury that kept him out of action for a period.
With Tite's departure, he had opportunities under Filipe Luís, including starting in the Copa do Brasil final against Atlético-MG. However, by 2025, he had lost his place. His last match was a 1-1 draw against Los Angeles FC in the Club World Cup group stage.
After that, he was included in matches against Grêmio, Juventude, and Estudiantes, but didn't make it off the bench . He wasn't even included against Vasco, and in the Libertadores Cup, he was sidelined due to ankle pain, specifically against Corinthians.
Before being linked with Corinthians , Michael almost left Flamengo in July. The club received an offer from Al-Ula of Saudi Arabia for a one-year loan: $2.5 million (approximately R$14 million), with a purchase option set at $4 million (approximately R$22.5 million). The deal, however, fell through, and the striker remained with Flamengo, despite his declining performance under Filipe Luís.
