Richarlison at Flamengo? Journalist suggests possibility in 2026

Maracanã will host a decisive match in the Brasileirão and, at the same time, an important social cause. This Thursday (2), when Flamengo and Cruzeiro face each other in the 26th round, the stadium will host a series of actions aimed at Pink October, the month of awareness about breast and cervical cancer prevention . The initiatives range from free services and donations to the personalization of the stadium and the red-black uniform.

ACTIONS AT MARACANÃ

Before the match, cancer patients will enter the field alongside healthcare professionals, carrying a banner supporting the campaign . Participants will also take a lap of honor around the pitch, which was recorded by Flamengo TV .

The stadium's lighting will be one of the highlights of the evening: the Maracanã will be lit pink in allusion to the movement . During halftime, patient testimonies will be shown on the screens, accompanied by an interview with a medical specialist.

CUSTOM UNIFORM

Flamengo will also take to the field wearing uniforms adapted for the campaign. The jersey will feature custom logos with the pink ribbon , and the captain's armband, likely worn by Arrascaeta, will feature the message: "Health Nation."

DONATION AND PREVENTION

In the Lower North sector, fans can donate locks of hair, 20 cm or longer, which will be used to make wigs for cancer patients. Additionally, a truck from the Laço Rosa Foundation, in partnership with Betano , will be at gate 9 offering free mammograms. The exam is intended for women over 40 registered on the website mamografiasalva.com.br, but younger patients are also eligible.

Flamengo is preparing to face Cruzeiro this Thursday (2), for the Brazilian Championship, and is closely monitoring the transfer market. Defender Danilo, 34, has sparked interest from Milan for the next European window, according to information from Bolavip Brasil.

The potential deal with the Italian club comes at the request of coach Massimiliano Allegri , who worked with Danilo at Juventus. However, there are currently no concrete negotiations. Flamengo would only consider releasing the player if he himself expressed a desire to leave the club.

A native of Bicas, Minas Gerais, Danilo arrived at Flamengo after 14 years abroad , having played for clubs such as América Mineiro and Santos before returning to Brazil. He currently plays as a defender, although he is originally a full-back. For Flamengo, he has played 22 matches, scoring three goals and providing one assist, contributing decisively to the defense led by Filipe Luís.

CONTRACTUAL SITUATION

Despite European interest, the defender remains in coach Filipe Luís's plans and is an important member of the team. Any negotiations will depend on mutual interest and alignment between the player and management.

FLAMENGO X CRUZEIRO

Flamengo returns to the field this Thursday (2), at 8:30 pm (Brasília time) , at Maracanã, to face Cruzeiro in a direct confrontation for the leadership of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be for the 26th round of the competition and promises a full house at the stadium.

Atlético-MG is already working behind the scenes with a focus on the 2026 season and has begun mapping out opportunities in the transfer market. Among the names under consideration, Flamengo's Everton Cebolinha appears to be a top target . Coach Jorge Sampaoli is enthusiastic about the signing and considers the striker ideal for strengthening the attack.

Everton Cebolinha's contract with Flamengo runs until June 2026, but he's going through a period of uncertainty at Gávea. The player lost ground in Filipe Luís's squad during the season , fueling speculation about a possible departure. Despite this, the Flamengo board still considers him an important player and is unlikely to facilitate a possible release.

INTEREST OF ATLÉTICO-MG

Atlético-MG's desire to sign Cebolinha is real, but negotiations aren't likely to be straightforward. Since the striker's contract runs until the end of 2026, Flamengo is only likely to release him upon significant financial compensation. One option being considered would be a loan with salary-sharing or, as a last resort, waiting for the contract to expire and moving forward without transfer fees.

EVERTON CEBOLINHA IS A PRIORITY

According to information from journalist Lucas Tanaka, Sampaoli has already presented CIGA (Galo Information Center) with a list of desired reinforcements for 2026. The Argentine coach's priority is the offensive sector, and the arrival of key players is considered fundamental to making the squad more competitive next season.

OTHER CLUBS ALSO WANT TO

In addition to Atlético-MG, Everton Cebolinha has also been linked to Grêmio, the club that revealed him . However, the club's financial situation makes negotiations difficult. Santos, on the other hand, has expressed interest in forming a strike partnership with Neymar if they can secure the star's stay until 2026. Despite the inquiries, Grêmio appears to be the club most willing to invest in the signing.
