Young Ryan Roberto has drawn attention from clubs all over the world. As a result, there were rumors that Palmeiras was interested in the Flamengo forward. However, the São Paulo club denied wanting the rubro-negro academy player.
Before joining the Most Beloved, however, Athletico-PR was close to selling Ryan Roberto to Palmeiras’ academy. However, Mengão swooped in on the green-and-white side and signed the player in 2023. The information comes from journalist Venê Casagrande.
For ethical reasons behind the scenes, the rival club’s academy directors do not want to get into this dispute with the Rubro-Negro academy coordinators. That is because the 18-year-old player and the club are at an impasse over a contract renewal, with his current deal running until 2027.
The Flamengo U-20 player received an official offer from Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR). The European team’s offer, along with the lack of prospects in the rubro-negro senior squad, are some of the reasons for the deadlock over extending his contract.
The stalled renewal kept Ryan Roberto out of the match against Cruzeiro in the U-20 Brasileirão. The game took place this Saturday (25) at Gávea stadium, with coverage by Coluna do Fla.
