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.

Vinição, a Mengo product, stands out after being announced as a reinforcement for the German team; the Rio de Janeiro club will make a huge profit from the deal

Midfielder Vinícius Souza was transferred from Sheffield United to Wolfsburg for 15 million euros (approximately R$95.8 million) . FIFA rules reserve up to 5% of the transfer fee paid by clubs to reward all clubs that contributed to the development of the athlete between the ages of 12 and 23. In Vinícius' case, Flamengo accumulated 3.05% because he left the club at the age of 21.
This transfer reinforces the sustainable business model of the red-black base, which obtained financial returns even without the sale of the athlete in loco. To give you an idea, a similar mechanism yielded the club around R$11 million in the sale of Lucas Paquetá, for example. The amount of R$3 million will be deposited directly into the club's coffers.
Transfer: 15 million euros (~R$ 95.8 million)
Solidarity percentage: 3.05%
Estimated total for Flamengo: R$3 million
This amount is not exceptional for an individual transfer, but it shows how small amounts can generate consistent resources for the club. When added to other negotiations – especially of athletes revealed at Ninho –, these revenues reinforce the financial viability of the red-black base without depending on immediate sales.
