Flamengo eye move for Brazil striker, claims journalist

Richarlison eyes the 2026 World Cup and could return to Brazil

Flamengo has turned its attention to searching for a new striker for the next season, and the name of the moment is Richarlison. The Tottenham (ENG) and Brazilian National Team forward, who was already targeted by the red-and-black team in 2025, is now a priority for 2026.

According to information from Italian journalist Marco Mampreso, Richarlison is one of the main targets for Flamengo for the striker position. The Tottenham forward sees the opportunity favorably and could return to Brazil with an eye on the 2026 World Cup.

WHAT IS RICHARLISON'S SITUATION?

Richarlison is at Tottenham but is currently facing technical and physical difficulties this season. As a result, the striker may be left out of the Brazilian National Team, which is in its final preparations for the 2026 World Cup.

Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazilian National Team, has already worked with Richarlison at Everton (ENG) and knows the striker's profile well. Furthermore, Brazil lacks players to operate inside the penalty area. Thus, the player could be called up for the 2026 World Cup.

WHAT IS FLAMENGO'S SITUATION?

Flamengo currently has three strikers in its squad, with Pedro as the starter, under contract until December 2027. In addition, Juninho, who is expected to be transferred, and Wallace Yan, who has become a target for European teams, are also part of the squad.

WHEN DOES FLAMENGO PLAY?

Thus, Flamengo remains focused on the upcoming challenges of the season. The red-and-black team faces Sport this Saturday (01), at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), at Maracanã, in a match valid for the 31st round of the Campeonato Brasileiro.
