According to Globo.com, the potential transfer of Michael to Santos is being delayed by a pending payment. Michael is on Flamengo's list of negotiable players for the 2026 season and has a proposal from Santos, with the situation described as well advanced. An agreement is in place between Michael and Santos, including contract duration and salary. The only remaining issue is a demand from Michael for approximately R$ 2 million as a signing bonus from the contract he signed when he returned to Flamengo in 2024.

While Flamengo does not intend to complicate his departure, the club considers the financial issue significant. The consensus is that the deal will not proceed unless Michael forgoes the payment.
