West Ham announce signing of striker targeted by Flamengo for 2026 | OneFootball

Which striker did West Ham (ENG) sign for the 2025/26 season?

The transfer market is in full swing at the start of this year. Looking to further strengthen their squad, West Ham (ENG) announced the signing of Taty Castellanos, who had been on Flamengo's radar during this window.

Through social media, West Ham announced the deal with Taty Castellanos. In the post, the English club shared that the contract signed with the striker is valid for four and a half years, with an option to extend for one more season.

DID FLAMENGO TRY TO SIGN TATY CASTELLANOS?

Yes! In the search for a striker during this transfer window, Taty Castellanos’ name emerged as a ‘target’. According to a report by Coluna do Fla, José Boto, the club’s technical football director, even sought information about the player, who belonged to Lazio (ITA).

However, it’s worth noting that the talks did not progress, and Flamengo did not even make an official offer to the Italian club for Castellanos. In other words, negotiations never moved past the initial stage.

DOES FLAMENGO HAVE ANOTHER TARGET FOR THE ATTACK IN THIS TRANSFER WINDOW?

Yes! While Castellanos has found a ‘new home’, Flamengo has made Kaio Jorge, from Cruzeiro, a priority in this transfer window. So far, the Rubro-Negro has already made two official offers to the Belo Horizonte club for the striker, but both were rejected.

Given this situation, Flamengo is keeping an eye on other business opportunities. For the attack, Marcos Leonardo’s name also appears as a ‘Plan B’. However, it’s important to note that Mengão has not made an official offer to Al Hilal (KSA) in pursuit of the player.
