Linked with Flamengo, David Romero left out of Copa Sul-Americana clash | OneFootball

Tigre (ARG) forward Romero will not face Nacional (URU) this Tuesday (21)

The transfer market is buzzing, and many names are being linked with Flamengo. One of them is forward David Romero of Tigre (ARG). This Monday (20), a move by the Argentine club fueled even more debate among Flamengo fans about the possibility of a signing.

The team will face Uruguay’s Nacional in the Copa Sudamericana playoff. David Romero, however, was left out of the squad. Officially, the club did not provide any information about a possible negotiation or anything similar. The match will take place at 7 p.m. (Brasília time) this Tuesday (21) at Estadio Parque Central in Montevideo.

“David Romero is not part of the squad that traveled to Uruguay due to a family situation that required him to remain in Buenos Aires.” On social media, fans of the Argentine team were not convinced by the explanation and are speculating that the 23-year-old could be on his way out.

DID DAVID ROMERO RECENTLY VISIT RIO DE JANEIRO?

In June, Romero took advantage of the break in the schedule due to the World Cup and visited Brazil. The forward posted photos sightseeing in Rio de Janeiro and stirred up social media. The Argentine press has linked the player with Flamengo since February of this year.

Coluna do Fla contacted sources connected to Flamengo who are around Ninho do Urubu on a daily basis and sought information about the possibility of signing Romero. However, the club denies any negotiation.

It is worth noting that Romero fits the profile Flamengo is looking for in the market: a young player with resale potential and the stamina to handle the grueling Brazilian football season. In addition, Mengão is targeting three names in the market: one big signing and two ‘prospects.’ One is Thiago Almada, also from Argentina. The Tigre player, meanwhile, would be seen as an opportunity.

WHAT ARE ROMERO’S NUMBERS AT TIGRE?

David Romero’s numbers in 2026 are exciting. In 19 matches, the forward scored 11 goals and provided two assists. Besides Tigre, the player has also played for Talleres (ARG) and Unión La Calera (CHI). The youngster’s market value is 5 million euros (R$ 30 million).

WHAT IS THE AUTHOR’S OPINION?

— Throughout the day, the Argentine press had already been speculating about Romero’s possible absence from the game against Nacional due to an alleged injury. However, Tigre’s statement mentions personal issues. In other words, the story is ‘strange.’ Flamengo denying that it is negotiating is part of the process. Let’s see what happens over the course of the week — said Pedro Paulo Catonho, journalist at Coluna do Fla.
