The Flamengo could be about to count on a strong reinforcement for next season. According to information provided by journalist Fábio Barcellos, the club's vice-president of football, Marcos Braz, is in talks with Al Hilal, a businessman and player, to repatriate athlete Michael to Rio's red-black team.


Flamengo's interest in bringing Michael back to Brazil is no secret. Since the player transferred to Al Hilal, speculation about a possible return has been frequent behind the scenes at the club. Now, it seems that these conversations are progressing, with Al Hilal not showing difficulties in negotiating with Mais Querido.


According to sources close to the negotiations, the player expressed his desire to return to Brazil and play again the Flamengo shirt. This disposition of the athlete has facilitated negotiations between the parties involved, making the deal increasingly closer to a positive outcome for all parties.


RETROSPECT OF GÁVEA'S "MALUQUINHO BOY"

Michael arrived at Flamengo in 2020, coming from Goiás, and quickly won over the red and black fans with his performances on the field. His fierce style of play and his ability to unbalance matches made him one of the team's main highlights that year, contributing to the victory of important titles, such as the Brazilian Championship and the Brazilian Super Cup.


However , after a promising start, Michael ended up losing space in the starting team and being traded to Al Hilal at the beginning of 2021. Now, with the possibility of returning to Flamengo, the player sees an opportunity to resume his successful trajectory in Brazilian football and seek new achievements alongside your teammates.

Striker Michael is emerging as the top name among the players who could leave Flamengo this transfer window. The athlete has already communicated to the board his desire to pursue new career opportunities, but has not yet received an official offer.


Another player whose future may soon be decided is Juninho. The midfielder's representatives presented two loan proposals about a month ago, but both were rejected by the club's management, who deemed them unprofitable. Despite this, his agents are still looking for alternatives. This information comes from the Voz do Ninho website.


LACK OF SPACE ON THE TEAM


Within the club, the perception is that the lack of playing time could influence the retention of some players. In Michael's case, offers arrived from Saudi Arabia, but all in the form of a loan . The board preferred not to move forward, seeking more favorable terms.

As a result, the striker lost his place in the rotation, falling behind Filipe Luís in certain selections. This situation reinforces the need for roster adjustments, especially given the "large number of players" recently mentioned by the coach himself.


OUTGOING ATHLETES

Besides Michael and Juninho, other players are also being considered. Midfielder Victor Hugo, who recently returned from loan, has yet to establish himself and could be traded again . Defender Cleiton, who has been underused, also appears on the list of possible departures.

After terminating its contract with PixBet and considering new proposals, Flamengo has chosen Betano as its new master sponsor . The agreement, valid until 2028, is the largest in Brazilian football history, with a potential annual value of R$268.5 million . President Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap, explained the reasons behind the choice.


WHY WAS BETANO CHOSEN?


According to Bap, the decision wasn't based solely on financial considerations. He highlighted the process of rapprochement between the parties, emphasizing the company's strength in the market and its stance on the social challenges facing the betting industry.


"It was a process of mutual understanding. We understand Betano's role in this growing world , which also brings challenges. They expressed concern about this," said the Flamengo president.

FLAMENGO IS MORE THAN SOCCER


The president noted that the sponsorship extends beyond the main team, also encompassing the club's other sports: " Flamengo is much more than a football club . It's a nation, with many dimensions and tribes : rowing, basketball, volleyball, judo, swimming, artistic sports—in short, so much more," Bap emphasized.

'ONE PLUS ONE MAKES THREE'

Jokingly, Bap stated that the partnership could elevate Flamengo to heights never before achieved in its history: " By getting to know each other, we were able to devise a global strategy . Who knows, maybe Flamengo and Betano have discovered that one plus one can make three?" he said.

WHEN WILL BETANO DEBUT ON THE SHIRT?

Betano's debut at the Manto Sagrado is scheduled for the match against Vitória this weekend. Bap concluded by wishing the partnership a positive and lasting one: " May it be a very long-lasting and positive one , both for Flamengo and Betano."
