Flamengo has secured four new signings for Filipe Luís’ team: Saúl Ñíguez, Emerson Royal, Samuel Lino, and Jorge Carrascal. Meanwhile, other Brazilian clubs continue to move in the transfer market. Thus, Corinthians announced the arrival of Vitinho, a former player of the Most Beloved.
Through social media, Corinthians announced the signing of the former Flamengo player: “Vitinho is now with Timão. The forward signed a contract until the end of 2026 and is the newest addition to Coringão. Welcome, Vitinho.” It’s worth noting that the São Paulo team secured the striker’s arrival ‘for free,’ since the player terminated his contract with Al-Ettifaq (SAU).
Flamengo signed Vitinho in July 2028, after paying around R$ 50 million to take the player from CSKA Moscow (RUS). At the time, the transfer became the most expensive in the history of Mengão and Brazilian football. A year later, however, the Rubro-Negro surpassed that investment by signing Arrascaeta for R$ 60 million, from Cruzeiro.
Thus, Vitinho wore the Flamengo shirt for four years, being part of one of the most successful generations in the club’s history. In total, the forward played 212 matches, with 29 goals and 33 assists. In addition, the player won: two Libertadores, one Recopa Sudamericana, two Brasileiros, one Copa do Brasil, two Supercopas do Brasil, and three Cariocas.
While Brazilian clubs strengthen their squads, Flamengo continues to prepare for its next fixture of the season. Filipe Luís’ team returns to the pitch this Wednesday (13th) to face Internacional, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the first leg of the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
