Flamengo and Cruzeiro Compete for Al-Hilal Star’s Signing – Lance!
Recently, the news of Michael’s departure from Saudi Arabia has caught the attention of Brazilian clubs such as Flamengo and Cruzeiro. While Cruzeiro has already made a formal offer, Flamengo is closely monitoring the situation and has even hinted at the possibility of investing 8 million euros (approximately R$ 45 million).
Cruzeiro has a trump card in this negotiation, as they recently reached an agreement with Al-Hilal for the permanent signing of Matheus Pereira.

Although the transfer is deemed challenging, Cruzeiro is prepared to make a significant investment to elevate the team’s performance. In addition to Michael, Cruzeiro has already secured deals with Kaio Jorge and has shown interest in bringing in Lautaro Diaz, Yerri Mina, and Matheus Henrique.
According to the ‘Tahia Masr’ from Saudi Arabia, Flamengo has taken the lead in negotiations and has already reached an agreement for Michael’s transfer. The deal would involve Flamengo paying 8 million euros to have the striker join them in July.
