According to Globo.com, Carlinhos could potentially transfer abroad during the upcoming window, as his future is not expected to be at Remo or Flamengo. The player is expected to use the transfer window to move to a new environment, giving preference to offers from outside the country. In 2024, the forward signed a three-year contract with Fla and his deal ends in December, meaning he will leave on a free transfer.

Flamengo intends to agree to the termination of Carlinhos's contract, because he will not be used by the coaching staff. Carlinhos was previously on loan to Vitoria, a club that does not intend to renew his contract. The value of the purchase option was R$ 4.5 million. Carlinhos's contract with Flamengo runs until December of the following year.

A Bola reports on the transfer decision of Carlinhos regarding his move to Vitória da Bahia. Carlinhos, who is 27 years old and currently belongs to Flamengo, has refused the offer from the Portuguese club Farense, opting instead to remain in Brazil. He is set to join Vitória da Bahia on loan for the 2024 season. Flamengo had given Carlinhos the green light to negotiate his future, and besides the offer from Farense, he also had a proposal from the Chinese club Henan.

Carlinhos has been authorized by Flamengo to negotiate with other clubs. He will train at alternative times at the George Helal Training Center and will have the club's entire structure at his disposal. Carlinhos joined Flamengo in April of the previous year after standing out at Nova Iguaçu but was heavily criticized by fans, scoring five goals in 20 matches.
