Irishman Michael Johnston, Flamengo's new signing, is expected to arrive in Rio de Janeiro this Tuesday (8) to sign a contract with the Rio de Janeiro club. The 26-year-old striker will sign a four-season contract with the Mais Querido. One of the first obstacles will be communication: Johnston only speaks English, has little command of Portuguese and does not speak Spanish, which could make it difficult for him to adapt to the club's environment.
The club's board, however, believes that the squad and coaching staff are prepared to help him in this process. Coach Filipe Luís, fluent in English, should be an essential figure in the player's integration, both on and off the field. In addition, athletes such as Jorginho, Danilo and Alex Sandro, who have played for European clubs, could also contribute in this regard.
Johnston arrives to reinforce Flamengo 's attacking sector, which already has names such as Bruno Henrique, Michael, Luiz Araújo and Everton Cebolinha. With the characteristics of a top constructor, the Irishman fits the profile sought by the board in the last transfer windows . Internally, there is the expectation that, even with the language barrier, he will be able to quickly understand the game concepts applied by Filipe Luís.
The striker plays for West Bromwich Albion in England, but recently played on loan at Celtic in Scotland and also had a spell at Vitória de Guimarães in Portugal. Johnston is a regular fixture in the Irish national team , which reinforces his international experience and competitive potential.
Should the deal with Michael Johnston be finalised, the striker will become only the sixth European to wear the Flamengo shirt in over 100 years of history . He will also become the second player born in the British Isles to play for the club, alongside Sidney Pullen, known as Welfare.

Real Madrid had a spectacular performance from Kylian Mbappé and thrashed Kairat, from Kazakhstan, 5-0, this Tuesday (30), in the second round of the Champions League group stage, in Almaty. The Frenchman scored a hat-trick, reaching five goals in the competition and taking over the Champions League's top scorer.
Besides the Frenchman, Camavinga and Brahim also found the net, completing the Spanish team's thrashing. With the victory, Real Madrid now has six points from two rounds , provisionally taking the lead in the group, while Kairat remains pointless and sits last.
Vini Jr. started the match as Real Madrid's Champions League captain, but had a lackluster performance and missed a clear chance in the first half. The Brazilian gave way to Rodrygo midway through the second half , while Mbappé led the attack.
The Frenchman not only scored three goals, but also produced some impressive plays, including a flick and a backheel pass that almost resulted in a goal for Vini Jr. With Tuesday's three goals, Mbappé reached the 60-goal mark in Champions League history, becoming the competition's sixth-highest scorer.
Flamengo's next match will be this Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm, at Maracanã, against Cruzeiro . The match, valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão Betano, is considered decisive as it pits the top two teams in the table against each other.

Santos is already planning reinforcements for the 2026 season, with Flamengo's Everton Cebolinha among the names being considered. According to Bolavip Brasil, the striker was introduced to coach Paulo Vojvoda , who approved the possibility of a move for the player.
Other Brazilian clubs are also monitoring the winger's situation, including Grêmio and Atlético-MG , who are emerging as potential competitors in the dispute for the athlete who has not been getting many opportunities under coach Filipe Luís.
Signed by Flamengo in 2022, Everton Cebolinha hasn't found good opportunities with the team and isn't seen as a regular starter . Mengão's number 11 has even expressed interest in returning to Grêmio, a club he holds dear.
“ It's been five years since I left Grêmio, but my love and affection for the club remain the same ,” said Cebolinha in an interview with Rádio Imortal, recalling that he was approached by the Rio Grande do Sul club shortly after his arrival at Benfica, six months later.
While his future is being monitored by other clubs, Everton Cebolinha prepares for his next match with Flamengo . In the next round of the Brasileirão Betano, the Red-Blacks face Cruzeiro at Maracanã in a head-to-head match for the lead. The Rio de Janeiro team currently has 54 points and is looking to maintain its lead at the top of the table.
Despite interest from teams, the Mais Querido's jewel has a high termination fee and Rubro-Negro may not release the player in the next transfer window.

Flamengo's promising young striker Wallace Yan has caught the attention of two Premier League clubs: Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers. According to Sport Witness , both have expressed interest in signing the player, but Flamengo has yet to decide whether it will negotiate with the red-and-black star in the next transfer window.
According to the publication, Crystal Palace appears to have an advantage over Wolverhampton in the attempt to sign him , but there is no confirmation that Rubro-Negro will give up on the athlete in January, despite the few recent opportunities.
Wallace Yan recently renewed his contract with Flamengo, resulting in a salary increase and an increased release clause. GE reports that the striker's contract is €60 million, equivalent to approximately R$375 million at the current exchange rate. This amount makes negotiations complex, even with interest from European clubs.
The player's most brilliant moment for the club was during the Club World Cup , including scoring the goals against Chelsea in a 3-1 victory over the Blues. Since then, he has lost his place in Filipe Luís's squad.
While Wallace Yan's future is being monitored internationally, Flamengo is focusing on the Brasileirão championship. The Rio de Janeiro team's next match will be against Cruzeiro, on Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm , at Maracanã, for the 25th round of Série A. The match is considered decisive, as it pits the top two teams in the competition against each other, with Flamengo leading with 54 points.
