Mikey Johnston (West Brom)
July 2025
Mikey Johnston’s £5m move from West Brom to Flamengo has broken down after backlash from Brazilian supporters. The Irish winger will remain with West Brom and join their preseason training camp in Austria this week instead.
Flamengo were set to complete the deal, but fans voiced strong opposition to Johnston’s signing. The Brazilian club is now likely to withdraw, and Johnston, though open to the move, is content staying in the Championship.
