0As the president Rodolfo Landim had already given a hint, Flamengo defined Michael as plan A to replace Everton Cebolinha, who suffered a serious ankle injury and will no longer play this season. The red and black board was waiting for the end of the Saudi Super Cup this Saturday, won by Al Hilal, to move forward in negotiations with the 28-year-old striker.
The striker's manager, Eduardo Maluf is in Riyadh and will meet with the Al Hilal board this Sunday. Michael only has five months left on his contract and can now sign a pre-contract with another club. Flamengo has already expressed interest, but faces competition from teams from Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The player's priority is to return to Brazil.
The idea is to define the attacker's future by Monday. Al Hilal needs to open a foreign place in its squad this window to sign up Neymar, who is at the end of his recovery from a serious knee injury and should return to playing in September. As Michael is already at the end of his contract, the tendency is for him to be chosen to be traded.
Flamengo is still waiting to find out the conditions of the deal, but internally the board is quite optimistic about being able to repatriate him. it. Since Michael left, he has maintained contacts with red and black leaders, and the relationship between them is considered excellent. The club is waiting for a signal to find out whether the investment will have to be greater for Al Hilal or for the player in gloves, if he manages to remain free on the market.
Michael played 105 games and scored 23 goals for Flamengo between 2020 and 2021. It was sold at the beginning of 2022 to Al Hilal for 8.45 million dollars (R$ 45.5 million at the price at the time).
