Flamengo is close to confirming another international signing. Striker Michael Johnston, 26, should be officially announced as the club's new player in the coming days. The Irish athlete will arrive in Rio de Janeiro next Tuesday (8), coming from London, to undergo medical examinations and sign a contract with the Rio de Janeiro club. The information was released by journalist Cahê Mota, from the ge portal.
Having played for clubs in Scotland, Portugal and England, Johnston came through Celtic's youth ranks and made his professional debut in 2017. His peak for the Scottish club came in 2019, when he scored in the UEFA Europa League against Stade Rennais. Despite his potential, a series of injuries and intense competition within the squad have limited his prospects at Celtic.
In 2022, he was loaned to Vitória de Guimarães, from Portugal, and, at the beginning of 2024, he went to West Bromwich , from the English second division. His time in the Championship was positive, registering three goals and five assists, which aroused the interest of Mais Querido. The value of the negotiation is around R$ 37 million.
His good performances in English football earned Michael Johnston a call-up to the Ireland national team, for which he made his debut in March 2023. His first goal in an Irish shirt was scored a few months later, in a match against Gibraltar.
The player plays as a second striker and is praised for his mobility on the field and good reading of the game . Now, he arrives at Flamengo as a bet to reinforce the offensive system in the final stretch of the season and increase competitiveness in the squad.
The striker is not in Filipe Luís's plans and must look for a new club; the 21-year-old midfielder chose Santos, despite interest from Corinthians.

Striker Michael will be the next to leave Flamengo, as he is no longer in coach Filipe Luís's plans. The board has released the player to listen to offers and negotiate a new team in the second half of the year. Brazilian football clubs have already begun inquiries about the player.
According to Flamengo's plan https://www.flamengo.com.br/ , the coaching staff sees no room for the striker in the current roster rotation. The departure is part of a series of market moves to reduce the number of players outside the coach's plans.
Midfielder Victor Hugo has agreed to a loan move to Santos , a deal expected to be finalized in the coming hours. The news was reported by journalist Venê Casagrande and confirms another transfer window departure.
The 21-year-old had returned to Brazilian football after a stint in Turkey, but failed to make the first team. Facing direct competition from the likes of Luiz Araújo, Plata, and Matheus Gonçalves, the youngster opted to move to Vila Belmiro , despite interest from Corinthians .
Matheus Gonçalves, sold to Al Ahli;
Lorran, on loan to Pisa;
Victor Hugo, sent to Santos.
Midfielder returns to training after muscle discomfort, is included and can reinforce Mais Querido against Grêmio at Maracanã.

After spending most of the week out of field activities with his teammates, Jorginho returned to training this Saturday (30) and was included in the list of players involved in the game against Grêmio. The midfielder participated in the last activity before the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship and became an option for coach Filipe Luís. The player himself confirmed the call-up on his social networks, encouraging the Mais Querido fans.
Jorginho missed training from Wednesday to Friday due to muscle discomfort felt shortly after the 8-0 thrashing of Vitória, last Monday (25). Despite the precaution, the quick physical recovery pleased the coaching staff.
If the defensive midfielder doesn't start, Allan and Everton Araújo will compete for the position alongside Saúl. In this scenario, Arrascaeta will remain as the main playmaker in the central attack. De La Cruz could also appear in the starting eleven.
Another open position is the left-back position. Alex Sandro, injured, is out of the match and will not play again this round. The spot will be between Ayrton Lucas and Viña. The Uruguayan was considered earlier in the week as an immediate option after the starter's departure, but the decision will only be made shortly before the match.
After the biggest victory in the history of the points system, beating Vitória 8-0, Flamengo returns to Maracanã this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship.
A significant reduction in payroll following the departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran helps Mais Querido maintain financial stability.

Flamengo will see a monthly reduction of approximately R$1 million in its payroll costs . This reduction was achieved following the recent departures of Matheus Gonçalves, Victor Hugo, and Lorran , three young players who had lost their place in the main squad.
According to information released by journalist Venê Casagrande, the measure contributes to the financial stability of the club , which seeks balance amid recent high investments.
The decision is part of a larger board strategy aimed at restructuring the payroll, which had been steadily growing. The expectation is that the savings will not only preserve the budget but also create room for potential signings in strategic positions, without compromising the sporting quality.
One of the points under review at the club involves Michael's situation . The striker, who recently returned to Flamengo , has a monthly fee similar to that of the three youngsters combined. Although an official decision has not yet been made, the possibility of negotiation has not been ruled out.
After achieving the biggest victory in the points era, beating Vitória 8-0, the isolated leader of the Brasileirão returns to the field this Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, to face Grêmio in the 22nd round of the competition.
