Flamengo eyeing move for Argentine football ‘phenomenon’ | OneFootball

David Romero, from Tigre (ARG), has been standing out in the Argentine Championship

The attack is one of Flamengo's priorities until the transfer window closes. According to the Argentine press, the Rubro-Negro might fill this gap with David Romero, from Tigre (ARG), who is 22 years old. The athlete has phenomenal numbers this season.

According to Argentine journalist Rodri Agustin, Flamengo sought information to find out how much they need to invest to take the player from Tigre. David's contract with the club is valid until December 2030, meaning it wouldn't be a simple negotiation.

WHAT ARE ROMERO'S NUMBERS AT TIGRE?

Romero's numbers this season are impressive. In 2026, the forward played six games, scored five goals, and provided two assists. Two of these goals were, no less, against River Plate (ARG), at the Monumental de Nuñez Stadium, on the 7th, in a 4-1 victory.

WHERE ELSE HAS DAVID ROMERO PLAYED?

Romero is a product of the youth academy at Talleres (ARG), where he played until 2024. That year, the forward was loaned to Unión La Calera (CHI), where he played 11 games and scored seven goals. He joined Tigre last season, where he appeared in 21 matches, scoring five goals and providing two assists.

WHAT DOES FILIPE LUÍS THINK ABOUT THE TRANSFER MARKET?

On Thursday (19), after Flamengo's 1-0 defeat to Lanús (ARG) in Argentina, coach Filipe Luís was asked about the need for reinforcements for the position. The coach was emphatic and passed the responsibility to the management after improvising Jorge Carrascal in the role during the Recopa match.

— Squad assembly is always with Boto, with the football director, who is the one who plans and organizes the squad. I, of course, participate. I believe that, yes, Pedro and Arrasca can play together. They could have played together, but I believe they are not in the best physical shape to play a physical game as I expected it to be today —, started Filipe Luís.

— That's why I opted for this system variation and with the substitutions tried to adjust, with the entry of Pedro. Of course, the game did not go as we expected, so there will be fair criticisms of my choice, but I chose thinking about what was best for our team —, he added.
