Flamengo eye Brasileirão striker in absurd-value move, says journalist | OneFootball

Position is one of Flamengo’s priorities in the transfer market

Flamengo is going after one of the breakout players of the 2026 Brasileirão. The Most Beloved is preparing an offer for Coritiba forward Lucas Ronier. The Rubro-Negro idea is for the player to become a signing for 2027, since he has already reached the minimum number of matches in the league and would not be able to play for Mengão this season.

The information comes from journalist Rogério Scarione of Rádio Joven Pan News in Curitiba. In addition, the reporter also works on news for the club’s fans on the page ‘Meu Coritiba TT’. According to the reporter, Flamengo has signaled an offer of 10 million euros, that is, approximately R$ 60 million at the current exchange rate.

WHO IS LUCAS RONIER?

Born in Fazenda Rio Grande, Paraná, Lucas Ronier is 21 years old. The forward likes to play on the right wing, but he can also play as a number 9. A left-footed player standing 1.65 m tall, he has three goals and four assists this season after 23 matches.

Lucas came through Coritiba’s entire youth system and has been playing for the senior team since 2023. Last year, the forward was one of the standout players in the team’s promotion campaign to the first division, with seven goals and two assists in 39 matches during the season.

In the latest round of the Brasileirão, against Flamengo, Lucas did not come off the bench in the rubro-negro side’s 3-0 rout. However, the player is considered an undisputed starter. On that occasion, he was returning from injury after 15 days sidelined due to pain in the back of his thigh.

DOES HIS PROFILE FIT FLAMENGO?

Football director José Boto and head coach Leonardo Jardim have not hidden that the goal for the future is to lower the squad’s average age. Therefore, Lucas Ronier has the necessary characteristics for the investment. However, the deal promises to be complicated for Mengão, since Coritiba recently rejected offers from Asia worth R$ 66 million.
