Carlos Alcaraz had an intense debut for Flamengo. This is because the midfielder was sent off this Sunday afternoon (1), in a game against Corinthians, in the Brasileirão. The Argentine only played 45 minutes.
During the second half, Charly had little participation due to the game played between Flamengo and Corinthians. Thus, the midfielder had three defensive actions, won a duel and completed 79% of his passes on the field. Furthermore, the player also participated in the confusion and was sent off, along with defender Cacá.
MILLIONAIRE VALUE PURCHASE
Flamengo bought Carlos Alcaraz for astronomical values next to Southampton. Mais Querido paid the English club 17.6 million euros (R108.3 million). The acquisition of the Argentine surpassed that of Pedro, bought from Fiorentina (ITA).
FLAMENGO'S SITUATION IN BRAZILIAN
In addition to seeing its biggest signing being expelled on their debut, Flamengo also saw Corinthians celebrate. This is because Mais Querido was defeated by the score of 2-1 to the team from São Paulo, at the Neo Química Arena.
With the defeat, Flamengo distanced itself from the fight for the Brasileirão title, remaining stagnant in the 44 points, six less than the leader Botafogo. Furthermore, Rubro-Negro took Itaquera's team out of the relegation zone.

Without a place alongside Filipe Luís at Flamengo, striker Michael 's name has once again been speculated on the transfer market . This time, he was mentioned as a possible Corinthians reinforcement for 2026. However, the information is untrue. According to Corinthians' board, there has been no contact with the player . The athlete's contract with the Rubro-Negro is valid until December 2028. This information comes from the MundoBola Flamengo portal.
Michael returned to Flamengo in 2024, at Tite's request, after a remarkable stint in 2021, when he shone in the final stretch of the season . In his return, he scored against Red Bull Bragantino at Maracanã, but suffered an injury that kept him out of action for a period.
With Tite's departure, he had opportunities under Filipe Luís, including starting in the Copa do Brasil final against Atlético-MG. However, by 2025, he had lost his place. His last match was a 1-1 draw against Los Angeles FC in the Club World Cup group stage.
After that, he was included in matches against Grêmio, Juventude, and Estudiantes, but didn't make it off the bench . He wasn't even included against Vasco, and in the Libertadores Cup, he was sidelined due to ankle pain, specifically against Corinthians.
Before being linked with Corinthians , Michael almost left Flamengo in July. The club received an offer from Al-Ula of Saudi Arabia for a one-year loan: $2.5 million (approximately R$14 million), with a purchase option set at $4 million (approximately R$22.5 million). The deal, however, fell through, and the striker remained with Flamengo, despite his declining performance under Filipe Luís.
Mais Querido faces the Minas Gerais team with sold-out tickets and four players suspended; a game valid for the 26th round of the Brasileirão.

The match, valid for the 26th round, will not be broadcast on open TV ; SporTV will show it on subscription TV and Premiere on pay-per-view.
Coach Filipe Luís will be without Erick Pulgar, who is still recovering from surgery on his right foot. Additionally, four players are on suspension: Léo Pereira, Alex Sandro, Allan, and Arrascaeta. If any of them receive a yellow card, they will miss the 27th round against Bahia.
Flamengo leads the Brasileirão with 54 points, followed by Palmeiras, with 52, and Cruzeiro, with 50. The direct confrontation does not change the leadership of Rubro-Negro , but it can increase or reduce the advantage at the top of the table, making the duel a true "six-point" game.
