The 2025 MotoGP season is fast approaching, and speculation around rider transfers is intensifying. Among the most lively discussions, the future of Miguel Oliveira is at the center of the debates. Several teams are showing significant interest in the Portuguese driver, with Prima Pramac Racing and TrackHouse Racing leading the way. Here is an update on the different declarations and possible pilot movements.
Rumors are multiplying around the potential arrival of Miguel Oliveira in Prima Pramac Racing for the 2025 season. Although this team is classified as a satellite team in the championship, it will benefit from the official support of Yamaha as a factory second team. Currently, no drivers have been confirmed for this team. George Martin should leave the team to join Aprilia, and Franco Morbidelli seems reluctant to renew his contract with Yamaha after notable difficulties between 2021 and 2023 encountered on the M1.
Charles Pernat, driver manager, shared his opinion with MOW Mag, stating that Paolo CampinotiOwner Pramac, could consider recruiting Andrea Iannone. Pernat, however, added: “ I'm almost certain it will be Miguel Oliveira. I don't have any precise information on this subject, let's say that that's my feeling, but I have enough experience in this world to, as they say, smell when the roast is ready and cooked, and ready to be served ».
On the side of TrackHouse Racing, the composition for 2025 is not yet finalized. The team seems to want to keep Raul fernandez et Miguel Oliveira. However, if the continuity of Raul Fernandez seems assured, that of Miguel Oliveira remains uncertain. Davide Brivio, team principal, expressed his desire to keep both drivers, telling TNT Sports: “ the priority is to speak with both. The reality is that we are quite close to Raul. He would be happy to stay, we are satisfied with him. We think it has great potential ».

Concerning Miguel Oliveira, Brivio clarified: “ we also speak with Miguel. He has other options. We need to find the right balance and make him happy to stay. We are working on this ».
The dynamics of rider transfers are well known in the world of MotoGP. Brivio recognized the reality of this constantly moving market: “ everyone knows, more or less, that the market is quite clear. There is an experienced pilot available, otherwise you have to opt for a beginner ».
He also discussed discussions with Jack Miller as a potential alternative: “ yes, we are talking with Jack ”, while explaining: “ I get calls from managers. Calls are decreasing day by day! That's how it works, there's nothing to hide. You get a call, you know who's available, you continue chatting. This is how it goes for team managers and drivers. I'm sure Miguel and Jack are talking to multiple teams, that's the game! ».
